Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in Oracle APEX 1.5.0/2.0. This affects an unknown part of the component Application Express. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a cross site scripting vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-80. The product receives input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special characters such as "<", ">", and "&" that could be interpreted as web-scripting elements when they are sent to a downstream component that processes web pages. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Oracle Application Express (formerly Oracle HTML DB) 1.5 up to 2.0 have unknown impact and remote attack vectors, aka Vuln# (1) APEX01, (2) APEX02, (3) APEX03, (4) APEX05, (5) APEX06, (6) APEX07, (7) APEX08, (8) APEX09, (9) APEX10, (10) APEX11, (11) APEX12, (12) APEX13, (13) APEX14, (14) APEX15, (15) APEX16, (16) APEX17, (17) APEX18, (18) APEX19, (19) APEX22, (20) APEX23, (21) APEX24, (22) APEX25, (23) APEX26, (24) APEX27, (25) APEX28, (26) APEX29, (27) APEX30, (28) APEX31, (29) APEX32, (30) APEX33, (31) APEX34, and (32) APEX35. NOTE: as of 20061027, it is likely that some of these identifiers are associated with cross-site scripting (XSS) in WWV_FLOW_ITEM_HELP and NOTIFICATION_MSG, but these have been provided separate identifiers.
