What happened
A flaw in the Adapters component of Oracle SOA Suite (Oracle Fusion Middleware) can be exploited over HTTP without authentication, leading to full compromise of the product.
Are you affected?
You are affected if you run Oracle SOA Suite 12.2.1.4.0 or 14.1.2.0.0 with the Adapters component reachable over HTTP from the network.
Oracle SOA Suite 12.2.1.4.0; Oracle SOA Suite 14.1.2.0.0 (component: Adapters)
What to do
- Check whether Oracle SOA Suite 12.2.1.4.0 or 14.1.2.0.0 is deployed in your environment
- Restrict network access to the SOA Suite HTTP endpoints so they are not reachable from untrusted networks
- Apply the official Oracle Critical Patch Update fix as soon as it is available for your version
