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 · unedited
Vulnerability in the Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition product of Oracle Analytics (component: Visual Analyzer). The supported version that is affected is 6.4.0.0.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and while the vulnerability is in Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition, attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 5.4 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N).

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition 6.4.1 or later (or apply July 2023 CPU patch for 6.4.0.0.0)

  1. 1. Review the Oracle July 2023 Critical Patch Update advisory at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2023.html for the specific patch applicable to Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition 6.4.0.0.0
  2. 2. Identify the required patch number or interim version for the Visual Analyzer component
  3. 3. Apply the Oracle CPU patch following Oracle's standard patching procedures for Oracle Analytics/OBIEE
  4. 4. Alternatively, upgrade to a later version of Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (6.4.1 or later) that incorporates the security fix
  5. 5. After applying the patch or upgrade, verify the Visual Analyzer component is functioning correctly
  6. 6. Test that the vulnerability is remediated by confirming unauthorized read/write access is no longer possible via the described attack vector
Caveat Review Oracle's patch readme for any known issues or prerequisites; upgrades between minor versions may require compatibility checks with existing data models and integrations
