Overview
Oracle Application Server version 9iAS installs with sample pages that demonstrate various functions of the software. Many of these pages can be used by attackers to breach the security of the system.
Description
A fresh installation of Oracle Application Server version 9iAS (and possibly other versions) includes sample JSP scripts and other files that may be abused by an attacker. Vulnerable scripts include: http://servername/demo/email/sendmail.jsp |
Impact

Solution
The CERT/CC is currently unaware of a practical solution to this problem. |
