Who is Vulnerable? | |
Vulnerability Description | Oracle Database Server is an enterprise-level relational database application suite. To extend the functionality of the Oracle Database Server, extra packages of related program objects, i.e., procedures, functions, variables, constants, cursors, and exceptions, are provided in order to better manage the data. The included stored procedures and functions, or subprograms, are called by name and optionally passed a set of parameters. They are essentially a set of SQL statements that are stored on the server-side, usually as precompiled SQL. Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities exist in Oracle Database Server product. The vulnerabilities are due to insufficient sanitization of input parameters in the Oracle Workspace Manager component. A remote attacker with valid user credentials may leverage these vulnerabilities to inject and execute SQL code with escalated privileges of SYS or WMSYS account. Successful exploitation would result in disclosure of sensitive information, and modification or manipulation of the data in the underlying database. |
