CVE-2021-2050Network attack vector

Authenticated critical-data access and modification

Published Jan 20, 2021 · Updated Sep 26, 2024

Unspecified flaw in Oracle BI Publisher allows remote authenticated users to read critical data and alter or delete some accessible data. The E-Business Suite XDO component accepts the triggering HTTP operation, but Oracle has not published the flawed code path or input handling. Low-privileged network access is required; a successful request can expose all Publisher-accessible data, alter or delete some data, and partially interrupt service.
