CVE-2018-3305: Vulnerability in the Oracle Application Testing Suite component of Oracle Enterprise Manager Products Suite (subcomponent: Load Testing for Web Apps)

Recommended actionScheduled

Medium technical severity with no CISA KEV confirmation; remediate through the normal risk-based patch cycle unless local exposure raises the priority.

Patch available

What, why and how

Vulnerability in the Oracle Application Testing Suite component of Oracle Enterprise Manager Products Suite (subcomponent: Load Testing for Web Apps). Supported versions that are affected are 12.5.0.3, 13.1.0.1, 13.2.0.1 and 13.3.0.1. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Application Testing Suite. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle Application Testing Suite accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle Application Testing Suite accessible data and unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of Oracle Application Testing Suite. CVSS 3.0 Base Score 6.3 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L).

What

Why

The current structured CVE record identifies a security weakness, but the root cause requires confirmation in the linked vendor material.

How

An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation with low privileges. If successful, the issue may disrupt the affected service.

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation

Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.

No confirmed evidence

No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.

Public PoC / exploit material

Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.

None recorded

No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.

Likely attack path: a network path → vulnerable operation → disrupt the affected service
Attack surface: Network
Privileges required: Low: a basic authenticated account is required
User interaction: None
Attack complexity: Low: no specialised conditions are recorded
Security boundary: Unchanged: impact remains within the vulnerable component's security authority

CVSS vector ? CVSS means Common Vulnerability Scoring System. The vector records the metric values used to calculate technical severity.: CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L
Common Vulnerability Scoring System 3.0: the compact vector below is decoded into plain language.

Post-exploitation / living off the land: No specific living-off-the-land technique is confirmed in the structured sources. Monitor normal administration tools for activity inconsistent with the affected service's baseline.
