Technical view

The vulnerability is in Oracle E-Business Suite Oracle Marketing, Marketing Administration component. CVSS 3.0 is 8.2 with network attack vector, low complexity, no privileges, required user interaction, changed scope, high confidentiality impact, low integrity impact, and no availability impact.

Likely exposure

Exposure is limited to organizations running Oracle E-Business Suite Oracle Marketing versions 12.1.1, 12.1.2, or 12.1.3, especially where the affected HTTP-accessible component is reachable by untrusted users.

Exploitation context

Researcher notes

No CWE is provided in the source bundle. Validate only version exposure, patch status, HTTP reachability, and compensating controls. Avoid assuming affected versions beyond 12.1.1 through 12.1.3 or exploitation in the wild without additional evidence.

Mitigation direction

  • Review Oracle's April 2020 Critical Patch Update for CVE-2020-2861 guidance.
  • Apply the applicable Oracle E-Business Suite Marketing vendor patches or supported remediation.
  • Restrict HTTP access to Oracle Marketing administration surfaces where business permits.
  • Prioritize remediation for externally reachable or broadly internally reachable deployments.

Validation and detection

  • Inventory Oracle E-Business Suite deployments and confirm Oracle Marketing versions.
  • Check whether versions 12.1.1 through 12.1.3 are present.
  • Verify April 2020 Oracle CPU remediation status for affected systems.
  • Confirm access controls limit untrusted HTTP reachability to Marketing Administration.
