Oracle EBS Bispgraph File Read Vulnerability
| Category | VULNERABILITY |
| Base Score | 9.8 |
Description
Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) is a powerful enterprise resource planning system deployed by many organizations, and its various components are expected to enforce strict security controls. However, the bispgraph functionality in certain EBS implementations has been discovered to be vulnerable to a file read exploit. The vulnerability emerges from insufficient validation and sanitization of user-supplied input in the bispgraph.jsp and associated JSP pages. Specifically, the input parameters that govern file location and file name (commonly referenced as ifl and ifn) can be manipulated to include newline characters and other control sequences. This failure in proper input filtering allows an attacker to craft a URL that prompts the server to read arbitrary files from the host system. The attack can be carried out remotely by sending a specially formulated GET request, resulting in unauthorized disclosure of system files, including sensitive password files and configuration details. The potential for information disclosure is significant because the leakage of such files can expose system credentials, configuration details, and other critical information that may facilitate further exploits and escalation of privileges. This vulnerability is particularly dangerous when exploited in a critical environment where Oracle EBS is used to manage essential business processes, potentially leading to broader system compromise, unauthorized information disclosure, and disruption of business operations. Organizations are advised to take immediate remedial actions to secure the affected components and prevent exploitation.
Impact
Exploitation of this vulnerability can allow attackers to obtain sensitive system files, including password and configuration files. This could lead to unauthorized access, further privilege escalation, and overall compromise of the Oracle EBS environment, thereby potentially disrupting critical business operations and exposing sensitive enterprise data.
