OVERVIEW

A vulnerability has been identified in :
o Oracle Health Sciences Sciences Data Management Workbench,
versions 3.1.0.2, 3.1.1.3, 3.2.0.0
[1]

IMPACT

The vendor has provided the following information regarding the
vulnerability:

“This Critical Patch Update contains 1 new security patch for Oracle
Health Sciences Applications. This vulnerability is not remotely
exploitable without authentication, i.e., may not be exploited over a
network without requiring user credentials.” [1]

“CVE-2023-22022
6.5 AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
Supported versions that are affected are 3.1.0.2, 3.1.1.3 and
3.2.0.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged
attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Health
Sciences Sciences Data Management Workbench. Successful attacks of
this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to critical data
or complete access to all Oracle Health Sciences Sciences Data
Management Workbench accessible data.
Affects:
o Oracle Health Sciences Sciences Data Management Workbench
3.1.0.2, 3.1.1.3, 3.2.0.0″ [2]

MITIGATION

Oracle states:

“Due to the threat posed by a successful attack, Oracle strongly
recommends that customers apply CPU fixes as soon as possible. Until
you apply the CPU fixes, it may be possible to reduce the risk of
successful attack by blocking network protocols required by an
attack. For attacks that require certain privileges or access to
certain packages, removing the privileges or the ability to access
the packages from users that do not need the privileges may help
reduce the risk of successful attack. Both approaches may break
application functionality, so Oracle strongly recommends that
customers test changes on non-production systems. Neither approach
should be considered a long-term solution as neither corrects the
underlying problem.” [1]
