Synopsis

An application server installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities

Description

The version of Oracle WebLogic Server installed on the remote host is missing a security patch from the January 2023 Critical Patch Update (CPU). It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including:

 - Vulnerability in the Oracle WebLogic Server product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: Centralized Third Party Jars (jackson-databind)). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.1.3.0, 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.1.0.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle WebLogic Server. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle WebLogic Server. (CVE-2018-7489)

 - Vulnerability in the Oracle WebLogic Server product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: Centralized Third Party Jars (XStream)). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.1.3.0, 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.1.0.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle WebLogic Server. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of Oracle WebLogic Server.
 (CVE-2022-40150)

 Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Apply the appropriate patch according to the January 2023 Oracle Critical Patch Update advisory.
