Discovery Status:
=================
Published


Affected Product(s):
====================
Oracle
Product: Oracle Flex Cube Direct Banking Application - (Web-Application) 10.5


Exploitation Technique:
=======================
Remote


Severity Level:
===============
Low


Technical Details & Description:
================================
A non-persistent cross site scripting vulnerability has been discovered in the official Oracle Flex Cube Direct Banking Application v10.5.
The vulnerability allows to inject own malicious code to client-side POST or GET method request to hijack customer session credentials or 
to manipulate client-side requested web context.

The vulnerability exists because of the method is uses a unsanitized function with a value that can be manipulated by an user account through 
the basic application user interface. The issue can be exploited to inject arbitrary objects into the application functions or modules and could 
allow authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code via specially crafted serialized objects. 

Exploitation of the cross site scripting vulnerability requires a low privileged web-application user account and only low user interaction. 
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in non-persistent phishing attacks, session hijacking,  non-persistentexternal redirect 
to malicious sources and non-persistent manipulation of affected or connected web module context. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability 
requires a privileged user account login.

Vulnerable Function(s):
[+] document.frmmain.fldbranchlocation.value

Vulnerable Module(s):
[+] atm_locator


Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The cross site scripting vulnerability can be exploited by remote attacker without privileged web-application user account and with low or medium user interaction.
For security demonstration or to reproduce the vulnerability follow the provided information and steps below to continue.

}

}
function fnSearch () {
/*
if(document.frmmain.fldbranchlocation.value==''){
alert("Invalid location");
return;
}*/
document.frmmain.fldRequestId.value = "RRLOB02";
document.frmmain.fldLangId.value = 'eng';
document.frmmain.fldDeviceId.value = '01' ;
document.frmmain.submit();
return;
}

Note: he payload will bypass the most of the WAFs running behind the application. Successfully tested on Incapsula WAF.
The vulnerable code can be triggered through the'document.frmmain.fldbranchlocation.value='PAYLOAD HERE';' method defined for atm_locator module.

Solution - Fix & Patch:
=======================
The solution to resolve the vulnerability would be to update to the newst oracle application version 12.5.


Security Risk:
==============
The security risk of the reflected cross site scripting vulnerability in the oracle banking application is estimated as medium (CVSS 4.0).
