Description

Vulnerability in the Oracle Commerce Guided Search / Oracle Commerce Experience Manager product of Oracle Commerce (component: Experience Manager). The supported version that is affected is 11.4.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Commerce Guided Search / Oracle Commerce Experience Manager. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and while the vulnerability is in Oracle Commerce Guided Search / Oracle Commerce Experience Manager, attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle Commerce Guided Search / Oracle Commerce Experience Manager accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle Commerce Guided Search / Oracle Commerce Experience Manager accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 6.1 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N).

  "executiveSummary": "An easily exploitable vulnerability exists within the Experience Manager component of Oracle Commerce Guided Search / Oracle Commerce Experience Manager version 11.4.0. This security flaw allows unauthenticated remote attackers with network access via HTTP to compromise the targeted system, contingent upon human interaction from a victim other than the attacker. Due to a security scope change, successful exploitation may significantly impact additional products beyond the primary vulnerable component. The potential business and operational impacts include unauthorized read access to a subset of accessible data, as well as unauthorized update, insert, or delete capabilities against targeted data repositories. The vulnerability carries a CVSS 3.1 Base Score of 6.1, highlighting moderate severity driven by confidentiality and integrity impacts over the network attack vector without requiring prior privileges.",
  "technicalDetails": "The vulnerability resides in the Oracle Commerce Guided Search / Oracle Commerce Experience Manager product, specifically within the Experience Manager component on supported version 11.4.0. The attack vector is strictly network-based, leveraging the HTTP protocol to deliver malicious payloads to the exposed application endpoints. The vulnerability requires zero prior authentication and zero user privileges, lowering the barrier to entry for malicious actors.\nA key prerequisite for successful exploitation is mandatory human interaction involving a user other than the attacker, which strongly indicates a client-side injection vulnerability vector such as Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) or a related content-handling flaw within the management or rendering interface. Upon successful delivery and execution of the attack payload via HTTP, the scope of the vulnerability changes (S:C), denoting that the security context expands beyond the immediate Oracle Commerce Guided Search / Oracle Commerce Experience Manager boundary to potentially impact secondary or integrated downstream products.\nThe step-by-step attack flow begins with an unauthenticated attacker crafting a malicious HTTP request or link containing exploit data designed to target the Experience Manager interface. The attacker then induces a legitimate, authenticated or interacting user to process or interact with the malicious content via social engineering or web-based vectors. Upon user interaction, the application processes the input unsafely, leading to unauthorized execution within the user's session context. Post-exploitation capabilities afforded to the attacker include unauthorized read access to a subset of accessible data within the application, alongside unauthorized write privileges allowing data updates, insertions, or deletions within the scope of the affected and impacted components."
