CVE-2017-10414 in iStore
Summary
by MITRE
Vulnerability in the Oracle iStore component of Oracle E-Business Suite (subcomponent: Checkout and Order Placement). Supported versions that are affected are 12.1.1, 12.1.2, 12.1.3, 12.2.3, 12.2.4, 12.2.5, 12.2.6 and 12.2.7. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle iStore. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and while the vulnerability is in Oracle iStore, attacks may significantly impact additional products. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle iStore accessible data as well as unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle iStore accessible data. CVSS 3.0 Base Score 8.2 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:N).

The vulnerability identified as CVE-2017-10414 resides within the Oracle iStore component of Oracle E-Business Suite, specifically affecting the Checkout and Order Placement subcomponent. This flaw represents a critical security weakness that impacts multiple supported versions including 12.1.1 through 12.2.7, making it particularly concerning given the widespread adoption of these enterprise applications. The vulnerability's classification as easily exploitable indicates that attackers can leverage common network-based attack vectors without requiring specialized skills or privileged access, significantly broadening the potential threat surface.
The technical nature of this vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to compromise Oracle iStore through HTTP network access, demonstrating a fundamental flaw in the authentication and authorization mechanisms of the checkout process. According to CVSS 3.0 scoring, this vulnerability carries a base score of 8.2, reflecting high confidentiality impact and moderate integrity impact, with the vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:N indicating network-based exploitation with low attack complexity, no privilege requirements, and requiring user interaction. The vulnerability's ability to affect additional products beyond Oracle iStore indicates potential cascading effects within enterprise environments where multiple Oracle components may share underlying infrastructure or data repositories.
The operational impact of this vulnerability extends beyond simple data access, as successful exploitation can result in unauthorized access to critical data and complete access to all Oracle iStore accessible data. Attackers can potentially modify, insert, or delete data within the affected system, creating both confidentiality and integrity risks. The requirement for human interaction from users other than the attacker suggests this vulnerability may be exploited through social engineering tactics or targeted attacks where users are tricked into performing actions that trigger the vulnerability. This characteristic places additional emphasis on user awareness training and security awareness programs within organizations.
Security professionals should note that this vulnerability aligns with CWE-287, which addresses improper authentication issues, and may map to ATT&CK techniques related to credential access and privilege escalation. The CVSS vector indicates that while exploitation requires user interaction, the potential for significant data compromise makes this vulnerability particularly dangerous in enterprise environments where iStore systems handle sensitive customer and financial information. Organizations should prioritize patch management and implementation of network segmentation controls to limit potential attack surfaces. The vulnerability's classification as affecting multiple versions suggests that comprehensive vulnerability assessment and remediation efforts should cover all supported releases within the affected Oracle E-Business Suite versions, with particular attention to the checkout and order placement workflows that constitute the vulnerable subcomponent.
