CVE-2024-20907
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 Web Applications Desktop Integrator product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: File download). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.3-12.2.13. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Web Applications Desktop Integrator. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and while the vulnerability is in Oracle Web Applications Desktop Integrator, 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 Web Applications Desktop Integrator accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle Web Applications Desktop Integrator accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 6.1 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N).
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 path traversal vulnerability in the File download component of Oracle Web Applications Desktop Integrator (E-Business Suite 12.2.3-12.2.13). Attackers can exploit this via HTTP without credentials but require human interaction (e.g., tricking a user into clicking a malicious link) to achieve unauthorized read/write access to a subset of accessible data.

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 if Oracle Web Applications Desktop Integrator is installedCheck your Oracle E-Business Suite installation for the Web Applications Desktop Integrator module. This is typically accessible through the /OA_HTML/ directory or similar EBS web paths.Affected if The module is present and accessible in your environment
-
Determine the installed versionQuery the Oracle E-Business Suite version using the-administration interfaces, SQL queries against the FND_INSTALLATION table, or by checking the product's about page accessible via the EBS homepage.Affected if The installed version falls within the range 12.2.3 to 12.2.13 inclusive
-
Verify the File download component is accessibleConfirm that HTTP endpoints related to file download functionality in Web Applications Desktop Integrator are exposed. These typically involve servlet paths related to file retrieval or document download.Affected if The file download component is enabled and reachable via HTTP(S) without authentication
-
Check network exposure of affected endpointsReview firewall rules, load balancer configurations, or web server access controls to determine if the Web Applications Desktop Integrator endpoints are reachable from networks outside the trusted zone.Affected if The endpoints are accessible from untrusted networks or the internet without additional authentication layers
You are affected if Oracle Web Applications Desktop Integrator version 12.2.3 through 12.2.13 is installed and its file download component is accessible via HTTP, even if network access requires some form of user interaction.

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 Oracle's January 2024 Critical Patch Update (CPU) for CVE-2024-20907. If immediate patching is not feasible, restrict network access to the affected Oracle Web Applications Desktop Integrator endpoints and implement strict input validation on file download parameters.
Oracle Web Applications Desktop Integrator 12.2.14 or later
- Check the Oracle Critical Patch Update advisory for January 2024 for CVE-2024-20907 for the official patch availability and instructions
- Apply the Oracle Critical Patch Update (CPU) for January 2024 which contains the fix for this vulnerability
- Alternatively, upgrade Oracle Web Applications Desktop Integrator to version 12.2.14 or later as the next stable release after 12.2.13
- Verify the fix was applied successfully by confirming the patch is installed or the version has been upgraded
