IMPACT

        The vendor has provided the following information regarding the
        vulnerabilities:
        
        "This Critical Patch Update contains 2 new security patches for
        Oracle Food and Beverage Applications. 1 of these vulnerabilities may
        be remotely exploitable without authentication, i.e., may be
        exploited over a network without requiring user credentials." [1]
        
        CVE-2018-1285
          9.8 AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
        Supported versions that are affected are 18.2.7.2 and 19.1.3. Easily
        exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with
        network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Hospitality Simphony.
        Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of
        Oracle Hospitality Simphony.
         Affects:
         o Oracle Hospitality Simphony 18.2.7.2, 19.1.3
        
        CVE-2021-1997
          8.1 AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N
        The supported version that is affected is 9.1.0. Easily exploitable
        vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via
        HTTP to compromise Oracle Hospitality Reporting and Analytics.
        Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized
        creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or all
        Oracle Hospitality Reporting and Analytics accessible data as well as
        unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle
        Hospitality Reporting and Analytics accessible data.
         Affects:
         o Oracle Hospitality Reporting and Analytics 9.1.0


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]
