CVE-2019-3000 in Marketing
Summary
by MITRE
Vulnerability in the Oracle Marketing product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: Marketing Administration). Supported versions that are affected are 12.1.1-12.1.3 and 12.2.3-12.2.9. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Marketing. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and while the vulnerability is in Oracle Marketing, 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 Marketing accessible data as well as unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle Marketing 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).

This vulnerability resides within Oracle E-Business Suite's Marketing product component, specifically in the Marketing Administration module. The flaw affects a range of Oracle E-Business Suite versions including 12.1.1 through 12.1.3 and 12.2.3 through 12.2.9, representing a significant attack surface across multiple product iterations. The vulnerability's classification as easily exploitable indicates that attackers can leverage network-based HTTP access without requiring authentication credentials, making it particularly dangerous in environments where network exposure is common. This represents a critical security gap in Oracle's enterprise application suite that could compromise sensitive marketing data and business intelligence.
The technical nature of this vulnerability allows for unauthorized access to critical data within the Oracle Marketing system, potentially enabling attackers to gain complete access to all data accessible through the Marketing component. The impact extends beyond just the Marketing module itself, as successful exploitation can significantly affect additional Oracle products within the same suite, creating a cascading security risk. Attackers can achieve unauthorized update, insert, or delete operations against Oracle Marketing accessible data, providing them with substantial control over marketing databases and customer information. This vulnerability operates with a CVSS 3.0 base score of 8.2, reflecting high confidentiality impact and moderate integrity impact, while maintaining a low attack complexity and no privilege requirements.
The operational impact of this vulnerability is severe as it requires only network access via HTTP and can be exploited by unauthenticated attackers. The fact that successful attacks require human interaction from individuals other than the attacker suggests that social engineering or user-based exploitation methods might be necessary, though this does not reduce the overall threat level. The vulnerability's potential to compromise critical data and enable unauthorized modifications makes it particularly dangerous for organizations relying on Oracle Marketing for customer relationship management and business intelligence. The CVSS vector indicates network-based attack accessibility with low attack complexity, no required privileges, and user interaction requirements, while the scope is considered changed, meaning the vulnerability can impact additional products beyond the targeted component.
Organizations should implement immediate network segmentation and access controls to limit exposure to this vulnerability, particularly focusing on restricting HTTP access to Oracle Marketing components. Regular patch management should be prioritized to ensure all affected Oracle E-Business Suite versions are updated with the latest security patches. Network monitoring should be enhanced to detect unusual HTTP traffic patterns that might indicate exploitation attempts. The vulnerability aligns with CWE-287 (Improper Authentication) and may map to ATT&CK techniques involving credential access and privilege escalation. Security teams should also consider implementing additional authentication controls and monitoring for unauthorized database access attempts. Given the vulnerability's potential to affect multiple Oracle products, comprehensive security assessments should be conducted across the entire Oracle E-Business Suite deployment to identify and remediate similar weaknesses throughout the system infrastructure.
