AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerable component, AD Utilities in Oracle Applications DBA, allows an attacker with low‑privileged local logon to compromise the Applications DBA service. The attack requires human interaction from a user other than the attacker. If successful, the attacker can take full control of Applications DBA, leading to full confidentiality, integrity, and availability loss for the application data and services.

Affected Systems

Oracle E-Business Suite version 12.2.3 through 12.2.15, specifically the Applications DBA product. This includes all installations of the AD Utilities component within that version range.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.3 indicates a high‑severity vulnerability with severe impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The attack vector is local access (AV:L). Exploitation requires low effort and can be performed by an attacker who has low privileged access to the underlying infrastructure, with the help of another user. EPSS is currently unavailable, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, but the high CVSS score and requirement for only local logon mean that an organization with exposed infrastructure could be at significant risk if not addressed promptly.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the vendor’s patch or upgrade to a supported version of Applications DBA that eliminates the permission flaw
  • Restrict local logon rights so that only trusted administrators can access the infrastructure where Applications DBA runs
  • Enforce strong user authentication and monitor for unauthorized interaction with Services that could indicate exploitation
  • Maintain separation between user environments and the Application DBA infrastructure to limit the ability of a low-privileged user to influence the service
