Descriptions

Unspecified vulnerability in the Oracle Application Testing Suite component in Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control 12.4.0.2 and 12.5.0.2 allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality and integrity via unknown vectors related to Load Testing for Web Apps, a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-0492. NOTE: the previous information is from the January 2016 CPU. Oracle has not commented on third-party claims that this is a directory traversal vulnerability in the isAllowedUrl function in the admin pages, which allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and gain administrator access via directory traversal sequences following a URI entry that does not require authentication.

Vulnerabilidad no especificada en el componente Oracle Application Testing Suite en Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control 12.4.0.2 y 12.5.0.2 permite a atacantes remotos afectar a la confidencialidad y la integridad a través de vectores desconocidos relacionados con Test Manager for Web Apps, una vulnerabilidad diferente a CVE-2016-0492. NOTA: la información anterior es de la CPU de Enero de 2016. Oracle no ha comentado sobre las reclamaciones de terceros que esto es una vulnerabilidad de salto de directorio en la función isAllowedUrl en la páginas de administrador, lo que permite a atacantes remotos eludir la autenticación y obtener acceso de administrador a través de secuencias de salto de directorio siguiendo una entrada URI que no requiere autenticación.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to bypass authentication on vulnerable installations of Oracle Application Testing Suite.
The specific flaw exists within the isAllowedUrl() function used for the admin pages. This function has a list of URI entries which do not require authentication. Because the function only checks to see if a URI starts with one of these entries, an attacker can use directory traversal in the URI to gain access to all of the exposed administrator functionality.
