CVE-2017-10405
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedVulnerability in the Oracle Hospitality Reporting and Analytics component of Oracle Hospitality Applications (subcomponent: Report). Supported versions that are affected are 8.5.1 and 9.0.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Hospitality Reporting and Analytics. While the vulnerability is in Oracle Hospitality Reporting and Analytics, attacks may significantly impact additional products. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle Hospitality Reporting and Analytics accessible data and unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of Oracle Hospitality Reporting and Analytics. CVSS 3.0 Base Score 8.2 (Confidentiality and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:L).
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceUnauthenticated remote vulnerability in the Report subcomponent of Oracle Hospitality Reporting and Analytics (versions 8.5.1 and 9.0.0). Exploitable via HTTP with network access, allowing attackers to gain unauthorized access to critical data or cause complete denial of service. The low attack complexity and no privileges required makes it easily exploitable.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify Oracle Hospitality Reporting and Analytics installationSearch for the application in the system inventory or check for its installation directory. Common locations may include C:\Oracle\Hospitality or /opt/oracle/hospitality on Windows or Linux servers respectively.Affected if The product is not found in the system inventory or no installation directory exists.
-
Verify installed version matches affected releasesLocate the version file or check the product's about/registration information. Look for version 8.5.1 or 9.0.0 specifically, as these are the exact affected versions.Affected if The installed version is exactly 8.5.1 or exactly 9.0.0.
-
Confirm Report subcomponent is present and enabledCheck for the Report module within the Oracle Hospitality Reporting and Analytics installation. This may be a web service endpoint, a dedicated Report application folder, or a Report configuration file.Affected if The Report subcomponent exists and is configured within the installation.
-
Determine if HTTP interface is exposedCheck network configuration, IIS/WebLogic/WebSphere settings, or firewall rules to see if the Report component is accessible over HTTP/HTTPS from the network. Look for ports typically used by the application (commonly 80, 443, or application-specific ports).Affected if The Report component is reachable via HTTP from network locations.
You are affected if Oracle Hospitality Reporting and Analytics versions 8.5.1 or 9.0.0 are installed with the Report subcomponent exposed over HTTP.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedApply the Oracle Critical Patch Update that addresses CVE-2017-10405. If patching is immediately infeasible, restrict network access to the Report component via firewall or network segmentation.
- Review the October 2017 Critical Patch Update (CPU) advisory at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/security-advisory/cpuoct2017-3236626.html for CVE-2017-10405
- Identify the specific patch identifier (PSU/one-off patch) for Oracle Hospitality Reporting and Analytics
- Apply the October 2017 CPU patch or the specific identified patch to both affected versions (8.5.1 and 9.0.0)
- After patching, verify the vulnerability is resolved by testing the Report component functionality
- Ensure network access to the Report component is restricted to authorized users only as an additional defensive measure
