Details Oracle Reports is Oracle's award-winning, high-fidelity enterprise reporting tool. It enables businesses to give immediate access to information to all levels within and outside of the organization in an unrivaled scalable and secure environment. Oracle Reports, a component of the Oracle Application Server, is used by Oracle itself for the E-Business Suite. Many large customers are using Oracle Reports as reporting tool for their enterprise applications. Oracle Reports starts reports executables (*.rep or *.rdf) from any directory and any user on the application server. These reports are executed as user Oracle or System (Windows). An attacker which is able to upload a specially crafted reports executable to the application server is able to run any OS command or read and write text files on the application server (e.g. wdbsvr.app containing Oracle passwords). He can overtake the application server. The upload could be done via Webdav (Part of the Oracle Application Server), Webutil, SMB, SAMBA, NFS, FTP, ... By using the report parameter with an absolute path it is possible to execute reports executables from ANY directory and ANY user.
