What happened
A flaw in the End User Self Service component of Oracle Identity Manager (Oracle Fusion Middleware) can be exploited by an unauthenticated attacker over the network via the T3 and IIOP protocols, leading to full takeover of the product.
Are you affected?
You are affected if you run Oracle Identity Manager 12.2.1.4.0 or 14.1.2.1.0 with the T3 or IIOP protocols reachable from the network.
Oracle Identity Manager 12.2.1.4.0; Oracle Identity Manager 14.1.2.1.0 (component: End User Self Service)
What to do
- Check the Oracle Critical Patch Update advisory for a fixed version of Oracle Identity Manager and apply it as soon as possible
- Restrict network access to the T3 and IIOP ports so only trusted internal hosts can reach them
- Review Oracle Identity Manager logs for unexpected activity over T3 or IIOP
