Onapsis Issues 20 Advisories Affecting SAP and Oracle Business Critical Applications
High-profile cyber risks could allow unauthorized users to steal sensitive business information and take full control of systems
Boston, MA – September 21, 2016 – Onapsis, the global experts in business-critical application security, today released new security advisories detailing vulnerabilities in SAP and Oracle business applications. Included in the advisories are seven “critical risk” vulnerabilities for SAP NetWeaver that could allow an attacker to take full control of an SAP system. The advisories also detail cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks affecting Oracle E-Business Suite which could allow an attacker to steal sensitive business information.
“SAP NetWeaver is the technical integration platform on top of which enterprise and business solutions are developed and run. Vulnerabilities at this level are of extreme criticality as, if they are exploited, an attacker would not only be able to access commands at the operating system layer but could also modify and take full control over all information residing within the SAP system,” said Sebastian Bortnik, Head of Research, Onapsis.
SAP is run by over 250,000 customers worldwide, including 87 percent of Global 2000 companies. Depending on an organization’s use of these platforms, “critical risk” vulnerabilities could be used by cyber attackers to gain access to mission-critical information including customer data, product pricing, financial statements, employee information, supply chains, business intelligence, budgeting, planning and forecasting.
Critical Risk vulnerabilities affecting SAP include:
- SAP OS Command Injection in SCTC_REFRESH_EXPORT_TAB_COMP
- SAP OS Command Injection in SCTC_REFRESH_CHECK_ENV
- SAP OS Command Injection in SCTC_TMS_MAINTAIN_ALOG
- SAP OS Command Injection in PREPARE_CHECK_CAPACITY
- SAP OS Command Injection in SCTC_REFRESH_IMPORT_USR_CLNT
- SAP OS Command Injection in SCTC_REORG_SPOOL
- SAP OS Command Injection in SCTC_REFRESH_CONFIG_CTC
As a core business application, Oracle E-Business Suite manages critical information such as Financial, Human Resources and Customer data, Project Portfolio Management, Procurement, and Supply Chain Management. Oracle’s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is an integrated applications suite of comprehensive enterprise resource planning software that combines business value, standards-based technology, and deep industry experience into a business solution with a low total cost of ownership.
“Cross-site scripting vulnerabilities allow attackers to inject client-side scripts into webpages viewed by other users. These vulnerabilities are important because attackers could bypass access controls and gain full access to the system,” said Matias Mevied, Senior Security Researcher, Onapsis.
Cross-site scripting vulnerabilities affecting Oracle E-Business Suite include:
- CVE-2016-3536: This CVE contains two XSS vulnerabilities affecting Oracle Marketing
- CVE-2016-3535: The component involved is Oracle CRM Technical Foundation with the sub component Remote Launch
- CVE-2016-3534: This CVE relates to Open Redirect Attacks
- CVE-2016-3533: This CVE contains three vulnerabilities related to the Oracle component of Knowledge Management
- CVE-2016-3532: There are seven vulnerabilities within this CVE that relate to XSS attacks; while they pertain to the same component they have different parameters that are not sanitized
- CVE-2016-0533: This CVE relates to XSS attacks affecting the Oracle CRM Technical Foundation with the sub component Wireless Framework
