Synopsis

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

Description

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

- Vulnerability in the Oracle WebCenter Portal product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: Discussion Forums (OSCORE)). The supported version that is affected is 12.2.1.4.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle WebCenter Portal. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle WebCenter Portal. (CVE-2023-39022)

- Vulnerability in the Oracle WebCenter Portal product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: Development Tools (Apache Commons BCEL)). The supported version that is affected is 12.2.1.4.0.. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Documaker.

- Security-in-Depth issue in the Oracle Database Workload Manager (jackson-databind) component of Oracle Database Server. This vulnerability cannot be exploited in the context of this product (CVE-2022-42004)

Note that Nessus has not attempted to exploit this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
