Critical-data access via stored attachment XSS

Published Apr 22, 2021 · Updated Sep 26, 2024

Stored XSS in Oracle Document Management and Collaboration allows remote authenticated users to read or modify critical data via HTTP. Oracle has not disclosed the faulty operation within the Attachments component or how stored input reaches an executable browser context. A high-privilege E-Business Suite account is required against 12.1.3 or 12.2.3 through 12.2.10; successful access exposes all component data and permits some changes.
