CVE-2020-10683
9.8 AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
The supported version that is affected is 3.0.1. Easily exploitable
vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via
HTTP to compromise Oracle Health Sciences Information Manager.
Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of
Oracle Health Sciences Information Manager.
Affects:
o Oracle Health Sciences Information Manager 3.0.1
CVE-2020-5421
6.5 AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:H/A:N

human interaction from a person other than the attacker and while the
vulnerability is in Oracle Argus Safety, attacks may significantly
impact additional products. Successful attacks of this vulnerability
can result in unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of
Oracle Argus Safety accessible data as well as unauthorized read
access to a subset of Oracle Argus Safety accessible data.
Affects:

3.7 AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N
The supported version that is affected is 3.0.1. Difficult to exploit
vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via
HTTP to compromise Oracle Health Sciences Information Manager.
Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized
read access to a subset of Oracle Health Sciences Information Manager
accessible data.
Affects:
o Oracle Health Sciences Information Manager 3.0.1
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]
