Oracle WebCenter Portal Arbitrary File Read (Oct 2019 CPU)

high Nessus Plugin ID 130005

Language:

Synopsis

An application server installed on the remote host is affected by an arbitrary file read vulnerability.

Description

The version of Oracle WebCenter Portal installed on the remote host is missing a security patch from the October 2019 Critical Patch Update (CPU). It is, therefore, affected by an arbitrary file read vulnerability in the FasterXML jackson-databind subcomponent. This is due to missing com.mysql.cj.jdbc.admin.MiniAdmin validation. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via sending a crafted JSON message, to read arbitrary files and disclose sensitive information.

Solution

Apply the appropriate patch according to the October 2019 Oracle Critical Patch Update advisory.
