Detail

Oracle WebCenter Sites is a content management system that allows businesses to create, manage, and publish digital content across multiple channels, such as websites, mobile apps, and social media. It is widely used by organizations that require a comprehensive platform to manage their online presence and engage customers through personalized experiences.

However, this software has recently been affected by a vulnerability code named CVE-2018-3238, which can be exploited by high privileged attackers with network access via HTTP. This vulnerability allows attackers to compromise Oracle WebCenter Sites, resulting in unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all accessible data. What makes matters worse is that successful attacks of this vulnerability don't require the attacker to be physically present, but can be done from a remote location.

When this vulnerability is exploited, it can lead to severe consequences. At its least, it can give unauthorized access to sensitive data, but it could lead to more severe consequences such as complete shutdown of the digital asset or financial loss. The attacker can also gain full control of the website, possibly access the administrator's account allowing further exploitation of the organization's digital assets.
