Unspecified vulnerability in the Oracle Reports Developer component in Oracle Fusion Middleware 11.1.1.4, 11.1.1.6, and 11.1.2.0 allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality and integrity via unknown vectors related to Report Server Component. NOTE: the previous information is from the October 2012 CPU. Oracle has not commented on claims from the original researcher that the URLPARAMETER functionality allows remote attackers to read and upload arbitrary files to reports/rwservlet, and that this issue occurs in earlier versions. NOTE: this can be leveraged with CVE-2012-3153 to execute arbitrary code by uploading a .jsp file.

- →Detect exploitation attempts by monitoring HTTP GET requests to /reports/rwservlet/showenv, /reports/rwservlet/showmap, and /reports/rwservlet/parsequery — these endpoints are abused to leak server paths and credentials prior to payload upload. ↗
- →Flag HTTP requests to /reports/rwservlet containing JOBTYPE=rwurl and URLPARAMETER= parameters, especially with file:// or external URLs, as these are used to fetch and write arbitrary files (including JSP webshells) to the server. ↗
- →Monitor for newly created .jsp files under the /reports/images/ directory on Oracle Reports servers, as the exploit uploads the webshell to this path and then executes it via HTTP. ↗
- →Use Shodan/FOFA queries to identify exposed Oracle WebLogic/Reports instances that may be vulnerable: http.title:"weblogic" or http.html:"weblogic application server". ↗
- →The exploit response fingerprint for a vulnerable URLPARAMETER endpoint is a 200 response body that does NOT contain '<html' or '<HTML' — use this as a detection matcher. ↗

This module uses two vulnerabilities in Oracle Forms and Reports to get remote code execution on the host. The showenv url can be used to disclose information about a server. A second vulnerability that allows arbitrary reading and writing to the host filesystem can then be used to write a shell from a remote url to a known local path disclosed from the previous vulnerability. The local path being accessible from an URL allows an attacker to perform the remote code execution using, for example, a .jsp shell. This module was tested successfully on Windows and Oracle Forms and Reports 10.1.
