Denial of Service Vulnerability in Oracle WebCenter Interaction Portal

Summary

The AjaxControl component of Oracle WebCenter Interaction Portal 10.3.3 lacks proper validation of page names during rename requests. This flaw allows for pages to be renamed with unsupported characters, such as 0x7f. When renamed in this manner, these pages become inaccessible via the web server (e.g., IIS), resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) condition. Importantly, Oracle has indicated that this product is no longer supported, and thus, the risk remains unaddressed.
