Who should care

System administrators and security teams responsible for Oracle APEX installations, particularly those using versions 24.1, 24.2, and 26.1, should be aware of this vulnerability and take necessary actions to mitigate the risk. They should review the official advisory and CVE record to validate affected scope, severity, and vendor guidance.

Technical summary

The vulnerability, with a CVSS 3.1 Base Score of 5.5, is due to inadequate security controls in the Installation component of Oracle APEX. An attacker with low privileges and logon access to the infrastructure can exploit this vulnerability to compromise Oracle APEX, impacting confidentiality. The CVSS Vector is (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N). This vulnerability affects Oracle APEX versions 24.1, 24.2, and 26.1. System administrators and security teams should focus on applying the latest security patches from Oracle and restrict logon access to the infrastructure where Oracle APEX executes to only necessary personnel.

Defensive priority

Medium priority should be given to patching or mitigating this vulnerability, as it can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data. Defenders should focus on applying the latest security patches from Oracle for APEX versions 24.1, 24.2, and 26.1, and restrict logon access to the infrastructure where Oracle APEX executes to only necessary personnel. Monitoring Oracle APEX systems for unauthorized access or suspicious activity is also recommended. Implementing additional security controls, such as multi-factor authentication or enhanced logging and monitoring, may be considered.
