Yesterday, Oracle released its quarterly Critical Patch Update (CPU) to provide customers with detailed information about the latest vulnerabilities affecting Oracle business critical applications. This post will help Oracle customers better understand and prioritize the implementation of patches and testing of vulnerabilities on these systems within their organization. In this CPU, Oracle published 253 patches which affect 76 different Oracle products. We will analyze the Critical Patch Update and then will focus on the Oracle E-Business Suite vulnerabilities.

In today’s evolving IT landscape, companies are constantly planning their next steps when it comes to business-critical application security. Specifically, they are planning these steps around their SAP environment which supports core business processes for some of the world’s largest organizations. When it comes to migrating SAP solutions to the cloud, different roadmaps are regularly being assembled and developed in order to properly transfer solutions that were traditionally supported by on premise SAP systems to a diverse range of cloud offerings provided by SAP.

Today, the Onapsis Research Labs released 14 advisories for SAP and 6 for Oracle E-Business Suite. All of the SAP advisories pertain to SAP NetWeaver - the technical integration platform on top of which enterprise and business solutions are developed and run. Half of these advisories for SAP NetWeaver relate to remote command execution vulnerabilities, which will be explained later in this post. On the Oracle side, all six advisories relate to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks on the core business application Oracle E-Business Suite.

Introduction

A few months ago, we published a post about Clickjacking attacks, analyzing the nature of the attack, its related security notes and statistics on the attacks themselves. Even though this type of attack is not new, it’s an important aspect for the SAP world to understand, especially considering its relevancy after July’s security notes release.

Today we have released 12 new Oracle application advisories which affect two different products: Oracle E-Business Suite and JD Edwards. The advisories include various types of vulnerabilities such as Cross Site Scripting, Denial of Service, Password Disclosure and User Creation. After great success uncovering hundreds of vulnerabilities in SAP systems, our Research Labs are expanding our security advisories to now include Oracle products.

Today, Onapsis Research Labs released 15 advisories related to SAP HANA and some building components, as well as Internal Communication Channels (also known as TREXNet). This is the first launch of more than 40 advisories we will be publishing in the following month including several vulnerabilities we have discovered in business critical application such as SAP and Oracle. In this blogpost, we'll analyze two different vulnerabilities affecting SAP HANA.

Yesterday, Oracle released its July 2016 Oracle Critical Patch Update (CPU). This post serves to provide Oracle customers with a detailed analysis of the latest vulnerabilities affecting Oracle business critical applications.

As a company, Onapsis is focused on securing business-critical applications such as SAP and Oracle. An important part of our research relies on identifying, and reporting on critical vulnerabilities in Oracle business applications in order to help Oracle customers reduce the risk to their organization.
