E-Business Suite versions 12.1.3, 12.2.3, 12.2.4, 12.2.5 and 12.2.6 are vulnerable to the flaw, reported Onapsis.
"Any number of critical documents could be stored in the system including invoices, purchase orders, HR information and design documents to start," said Perez-Etchegoyen, in the release. "While we would never scan to identify vulnerable systems, using free search engines we were able to identify that upwards of 1,000 EBS systems are currently connected to the internet, more than half of these being in the United States. These organizations need to patch immediately to mitigate this risk in their organization."
