Oracle JDeveloper XSS (October 2020 CPU)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 142146

Language:

Synopsis

An application installed on the remote host is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability.

Description

The version of Oracle JDeveloper installed on the remote host is missing a security patch. It is, therefore, affected by a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the ADF Faces (jQuery) component. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue to compromise Oracle JDeveloper. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and while the vulnerability is in Oracle JDeveloper, attacks may significantly impact additional products. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle JDeveloper accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle JDeveloper accessible data.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Apply the appropriate patch according to the October 2020 Oracle Critical Patch Update advisory.
