# Oracle E-Business Suite Payroll: low-privilege users can read and change some payroll data

Oracle Payroll in E-Business Suite 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 has a flaw in the Internal Operations component that lets a low-privileged user reached over HTTP read and modify some payroll data. Exploitation needs a second person to interact with the attack, and it can reach beyond Payroll into other products.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Confirm the E-Business Suite release in use is within `12.2.3` through `12.2.15`
- Check whether the Oracle Payroll module is installed and reachable over HTTP
- Review the Oracle Critical Patch Update advisory for the Payroll patch level (unknown from these sources)

## Fix

- Apply the Oracle Critical Patch Update fix for Oracle E-Business Suite Payroll, moving past `12.2.15` (exact patch name unknown from these sources)

## From the sources

Vulnerability in the Oracle Payroll product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: Internal Operations).  Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.3-12.2.15. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Payroll.  Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and while the vulnerability is in Oracle Payroll, attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in  unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle Payroll accessible data as well as  unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle Payroll accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 5.4 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts).  CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N).
