CVE-2018-2945 in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools
Summary
by MITRE
Vulnerability in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools component of Oracle JD Edwards Products (subcomponent: Web Runtime). The supported version that is affected is 9.2. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and while the vulnerability is in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools, attacks may significantly impact additional products. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools accessible data. CVSS 3.0 Base Score 6.1 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N).

The vulnerability identified as CVE-2018-2945 resides within the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools component, specifically within the Web Runtime subcomponent of Oracle JD Edwards Products. This security flaw affects version 9.2 of the software and represents a significant concern for organizations utilizing this enterprise resource planning solution. The vulnerability's classification as easily exploitable indicates that attackers can leverage it without requiring specialized skills or extensive preparation, making it particularly dangerous in production environments where such systems often handle sensitive business data and critical operations.
The technical nature of this vulnerability stems from insufficient authentication mechanisms within the web runtime environment, allowing unauthenticated attackers to gain access through standard HTTP network connections. This flaw operates at the network level with a CVSS base score of 6.1, indicating a moderate severity threat that specifically impacts both confidentiality and integrity aspects of the affected system. The vulnerability requires human interaction from users other than the attacker, suggesting that social engineering or targeted user engagement may be necessary for successful exploitation, though the actual technical attack vector remains accessible over standard HTTP protocols.
The operational impact of this vulnerability extends beyond the immediate JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools environment and can potentially affect additional products within the broader Oracle JD Edwards ecosystem. Attackers who successfully exploit this vulnerability can achieve unauthorized access to modify, insert, or delete data within the affected system, while also gaining read access to portions of accessible data. This dual impact on both data integrity and confidentiality creates a substantial risk for organizations relying on accurate business information for decision making and operational continuity. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N) indicates that the attack requires no privileged access, low complexity, and human interaction, while the scope expansion (S:C) suggests that the impact may extend beyond the immediate system to affect related components.
Organizations should implement immediate mitigations including network segmentation to limit access to the affected JD Edwards systems, deployment of web application firewalls to monitor and filter HTTP traffic, and implementation of robust access controls to restrict unauthorized network access. The vulnerability aligns with CWE-287 which addresses improper authentication issues, and represents a potential entry point for attackers following the ATT&CK tactics of Initial Access through Web Protocols and Persistence via data modification. Regular security updates and patches from Oracle should be prioritized, while network monitoring should be enhanced to detect anomalous HTTP traffic patterns that may indicate exploitation attempts. The affected environment should also undergo comprehensive security assessments to identify other potential vulnerabilities that could be leveraged in conjunction with this flaw.
