CVE-2021-2053: Vulnerability in the Enterprise Manager Base Platform product of Oracle Enterprise Manager (component: UI F...

Vulnerability in the Enterprise Manager Base Platform product of Oracle Enterprise Manager (component: UI Framework). The supported version that is affected is 13.4.0.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Enterprise Manager Base Platform. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and while the vulnerability is in Enterprise Manager Base Platform, attacks may significantly impact additional products. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Enterprise Manager Base Platform accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of Enterprise Manager Base Platform accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 6.1 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N).

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

CVE-2021-2053 affects Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform 13.4.0.0. An unauthenticated network attacker could exploit the UI Framework over HTTP, but a separate user must interact with the attack. Successful exploitation could allow limited unauthorized reading and modification of Enterprise Manager-accessible data.

Executive priority

Treat as a scheduled remediation item for exposed Oracle Enterprise Manager environments. Escalate priority if the management UI is internet-accessible or broadly reachable internally, because compromise could affect data across connected management functions.

Technical view

The CVSS 3.1 score is 6.1: network attack vector, low complexity, no privileges required, user interaction required, changed scope, low confidentiality and integrity impact, and no availability impact. Oracle lists the affected component as Enterprise Manager Base Platform UI Framework version 13.4.0.0.

Likely exposure

Exposure is most relevant where Oracle Enterprise Manager 13.4.0.0 UI services are reachable over HTTP by untrusted networks or users. Human interaction is required, reducing immediacy but not eliminating risk.

Exploitation context

The provided bundle does not show CISA KEV listing or active exploitation evidence. The attack is described as easily exploitable over HTTP without authentication, but requiring interaction from someone other than the attacker.

Researcher notes

The sources do not identify a CWE, proof-of-concept status, or exploit campaign. Validation should focus on version, patch state, UI exposure, and evidence of unauthorized data access rather than attempting exploitation.

Mitigation direction

  • Identify Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform 13.4.0.0 deployments.
  • Review Oracle April 2021 Critical Patch Update guidance for CVE-2021-2053.
  • Apply Oracle-provided fixes or supported upgrade guidance where applicable.
  • Restrict Enterprise Manager UI exposure to trusted administrative networks while remediation is planned.

Validation and detection

  • Confirm deployed Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform versions.
  • Verify Oracle April 2021 CPU or later relevant fixes are applied.
  • Review whether the Enterprise Manager UI is reachable over HTTP from untrusted networks.
  • Check recent audit logs for unexpected data reads or modifications.
