The supported version that is affected is 21.8.3.0.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Essbase.  While the vulnerability is in Oracle Essbase, attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change).  Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in  unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle Essbase accessible data as well as  unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle Essbase accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 9.3 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts).
