CVE-2020-2810 in iStore
Summary
by MITRE
Vulnerability in the Oracle iStore product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: Shopping Cart). 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 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 update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle iStore accessible data. CVSS 3.0 Base Score 4.7 (Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:N).

The vulnerability identified as CVE-2020-2810 resides within Oracle iStore, a component of the Oracle E-Business Suite ecosystem that handles e-commerce functionalities including shopping cart operations. This weakness specifically affects versions 12.1.1 through 12.1.3 and 12.2.3 through 12.2.9, representing a substantial portion of the Oracle E-Business Suite product line. The vulnerability operates at the application layer and represents a significant security concern due to its accessibility and the potential impact on data integrity within the affected systems. The CVSS 3.0 scoring system rates this vulnerability at 4.7 out of 10, categorizing it as a medium severity issue with a base score that reflects the integrity impact potential.
The technical flaw manifests through an insufficient validation mechanism within the shopping cart functionality that allows unauthorized users to manipulate data through HTTP requests without requiring authentication credentials. This vulnerability operates under the Common Weakness Enumeration framework as CWE-284, specifically related to improper access control mechanisms. The attack requires minimal complexity to exploit as it only necessitates network access via HTTP protocol, making it particularly dangerous for systems with exposed web interfaces. The vulnerability's design allows for unauthorized modification of data within the iStore environment, specifically enabling unauthorized update, insert, or delete operations against accessible data repositories.
The operational impact of this vulnerability extends beyond the immediate iStore component and can affect the broader Oracle E-Business Suite environment. The CVSS vector indicates that while the vulnerability requires human interaction from users other than the attacker, the potential consequences can be severe as the attack may significantly impact additional products within the suite. This cascading effect aligns with ATT&CK framework technique T1068, which addresses the exploitation of legitimate credentials and access to systems through indirect means. The vulnerability's ability to compromise data integrity without requiring authentication credentials makes it particularly attractive to threat actors who may leverage it to gain unauthorized access to sensitive business data, potentially leading to financial loss and operational disruption.
Organizations affected by this vulnerability should implement immediate mitigations including network segmentation to limit access to the iStore components, disabling unnecessary HTTP endpoints, and applying Oracle's official security patches as soon as they become available. The vulnerability's classification under CWE-284 emphasizes the need for robust access control mechanisms and proper input validation within web applications. Security teams should also consider implementing network monitoring solutions to detect anomalous HTTP traffic patterns that may indicate exploitation attempts. Additionally, regular security assessments should be conducted to identify similar access control weaknesses in other components of the Oracle E-Business Suite. The vulnerability's CVSS score of 4.7 indicates that while it may not be the most critical issue, it represents a significant risk that requires prompt attention to prevent potential data compromise and maintain the integrity of business operations.
