SQL injection in Oracle WebCenter Content Search affects 12.2.1.3.0 and 12.2.1.4.0 and allows remote attackers to alter and read data via HTTP. The GET_TYPEAHEAD_RESULTS service inserts the unauthenticated filter parameter into backend SQL, allowing crafted expressions to influence queries and extract database values. No credentials or user interaction are required; successful exploitation can disclose a subset of content data and insert, update, or delete accessible records.
