Vulnerability in the Oracle E-Business Intelligence product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: DBI Setups). Supported versions that are affected are 12.1.1-12.1.3. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle E-Business Intelligence. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or all Oracle E-Business Intelligence accessible data as well as unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle E-Business Intelligence accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 8.1 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N).

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

This Oracle E-Business Suite issue lets a low-privileged user reach E-Business Intelligence over HTTP and gain unauthorized access to sensitive BI data or change it. The main business risk is confidentiality and integrity loss in systems that may support finance, operations, or reporting decisions.

Executive priority

Prioritize remediation for any affected production E-Business Suite instance, especially where BI data supports regulated reporting, finance, or operations. Treat as high urgency if many internal users have accounts or HTTP access crosses trust boundaries.

Technical view

CVE-2021-2225 affects Oracle E-Business Intelligence in Oracle E-Business Suite, component DBI Setups, versions 12.1.1 through 12.1.3. The CVSS 3.1 score is 8.1: network exploitable, low complexity, low privileges, no user interaction, high confidentiality and integrity impact, no availability impact.

Likely exposure

Exposure is most likely where Oracle E-Business Suite includes E-Business Intelligence 12.1.1-12.1.3 and HTTP access is available to authenticated low-privileged users. Public internet exposure is not stated in the sources, but network reachability materially increases risk.

Exploitation context

The provided sources do not show CISA KEV listing or active exploitation. The vulnerability is still serious because the CVSS vector indicates easy remote exploitation over HTTP after low-privileged authentication, without user interaction.

Researcher notes

The public bundle identifies product, component, affected versions, CVSS vector, and impact, but not the root cause or CWE. Avoid assuming unauthenticated access or availability impact; the stated prerequisite is low privilege with network access via HTTP.

Mitigation direction

  • Apply Oracle’s April 2021 Critical Patch Update or later vendor guidance for affected E-Business Suite systems.
  • Restrict HTTP access to Oracle E-Business Suite administrative and BI paths to trusted networks.
  • Review low-privileged accounts with access to E-Business Intelligence and remove unnecessary access.
  • Monitor for unusual DBI setup changes and unexpected BI data access.
  • If patch status is unclear, open a vendor-supported Oracle remediation case.

Validation and detection

  • Inventory Oracle E-Business Suite instances and identify E-Business Intelligence usage.
  • Confirm whether versions 12.1.1, 12.1.2, or 12.1.3 are present.
  • Verify April 2021 CPU or later applicable Oracle fixes are installed.
  • Check whether low-privileged users can reach E-Business Intelligence over HTTP.
  • Review audit logs for unauthorized BI data reads, creates, deletes, or modifications.
