CVE-2017-3407 in E-Business Suite
Summary
by MITRE
Vulnerability in the Oracle Advanced Outbound Telephony component of Oracle E-Business Suite (subcomponent: User Interface). Supported versions that are affected are 12.1.1, 12.1.2, 12.1.3, 12.2.3, 12.2.4, 12.2.5 and 12.2.6. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Advanced Outbound Telephony. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and while the vulnerability is in Oracle Advanced Outbound Telephony, 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 Advanced Outbound Telephony accessible data as well as unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle Advanced Outbound Telephony accessible data. CVSS v3.0 Base Score 8.2 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts).

The vulnerability identified as CVE-2017-3407 resides within Oracle Advanced Outbound Telephony component of the Oracle E-Business Suite, specifically within the User Interface subcomponent. This security flaw affects multiple version streams including 12.1.1 through 12.2.6, representing a significant attack surface across the Oracle E-Business Suite ecosystem. The vulnerability operates at the network level through HTTP protocols, making it accessible to remote attackers without requiring authentication credentials. According to CVSS v3.0 scoring, this represents a high-severity issue with a base score of 8.2, indicating substantial impact potential across both confidentiality and integrity dimensions.
The technical exploitation of this vulnerability requires an attacker to leverage network access via HTTP to compromise the targeted Oracle Advanced Outbound Telephony component. While the vulnerability itself is classified as easily exploitable, successful execution demands human interaction from individuals other than the attacker, suggesting a social engineering or user interaction component. This characteristic places the vulnerability within the realm of attack vectors that may require user engagement, potentially through phishing campaigns or deceptive web interactions. The flaw's impact extends beyond the immediate component to potentially affect additional Oracle products within the suite, creating cascading security implications.
The operational impact of successful exploitation manifests in unauthorized access to critical data within the Oracle Advanced Outbound Telephony environment, potentially providing complete access to all accessible data. Additionally, attackers can gain unauthorized capabilities to update, insert, or delete data within the system, creating both confidentiality and integrity breaches. This dual impact capability means that adversaries could not only steal sensitive information but also manipulate or corrupt data, potentially disrupting business operations and financial reporting. The vulnerability's placement within the User Interface component suggests that it may be accessible through web-based interfaces, making it particularly dangerous in environments where such interfaces are exposed to external networks.
Security professionals should recognize this vulnerability as a potential candidate for exploitation through techniques aligned with ATT&CK framework's T1190 (Exploit Public-Facing Application) and T1071.004 (Application Layer Protocol: DNS) categories. The vulnerability's characteristics align with CWE-284 (Improper Access Control) and CWE-352 (Cross-Site Request Forgery) classifications, highlighting both access control weaknesses and potential CSRF attack vectors. Organizations should implement immediate network segmentation to isolate vulnerable components, deploy web application firewalls to monitor and filter HTTP traffic, and ensure all affected Oracle E-Business Suite installations receive appropriate patches from Oracle. Regular security assessments and monitoring of user interface components should be prioritized to identify similar vulnerabilities that may exist within the broader Oracle suite ecosystem.
