Oracle E-Business Suite was found to be vulnerable to SQL injection in two pages. Exploitation of the vulnerabilities does not require authentication and can be used to gain APPS (database administrator) privileges.
Technical Details
Accessing the vulnerable pages requires a valid session which can be obtained by visiting (but not logging into) the Oracle login page which can differ depending on the website configuration, for example:
Visiting this page supplies two cookies which can be used to access a further two pages which are vulnerable to UNION query-based SQL injection. Both pages take a ‘where’ parameter which is used to construct a dynamic SQL statement that is executed against the database. A lack of any validation allows for arbitrary SQL to be entered and the results to be displayed. Exploitation provides access as the APPS user with DBA privileges.
This advisory will be updated with more details in due course once our customers have had sufficient time to apply the patch.
