OVERVIEW

        Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in Oracle Commerce 
        products:
        
         - Oracle Commerce Guided Search / Oracle Commerce Experience 
        Manager, versions 6.1.4, 11.0, 11.1, 11.2 [1]


IMPACT

        The vendor has provided the following information regarding to the 
        vulnerabilities.
        
        "This Critical Patch Update contains 1 new security fix for Oracle 
        Commerce. This vulnerability is remotely exploitable without 
        authentication, i.e., may be exploited over a network without 
        requiring user credentials." [1]
        
        "CVE-2017-3732
        
        5.9
        
        AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
        
        The supported version that is affected is 11.1.2.4.0. Difficult to 
        exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network 
        access via HTTPS to compromise Oracle API Gateway. Successful 
        attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to 
        critical data or complete access to all Oracle API Gateway 
        accessible data." [2]


MITIGATION

        Oracle states:
        
        "Due to the threat posed by a successful attack, Oracle strongly 
        recommends that customers apply CPU fixes as soon as possible. Until
        you apply the CPU fixes, it may be possible to reduce the risk of 
        successful attack by blocking network protocols required by an 
        attack. For attacks that require certain privileges or access to 
        certain packages, removing the privileges or the ability to access 
        the packages from users that do not need the privileges may help 
        reduce the risk of successful attack. Both approaches may break 
        application functionality, so Oracle strongly recommends that 
        customers test changes on non-production systems. Neither approach 
        should be considered a long-term solution as neither corrects the 
        underlying problem." [1]
