{"id":"CVE-2016-0488","description":"Unspecified vulnerability in the Oracle Application Testing Suite component in Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control 12.4.0.2 and 12.5.0.2 allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality and integrity via unknown vectors related to Load Testing for Web Apps, a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-0492.  NOTE: the previous information is from the January 2016 CPU. Oracle has not commented on third-party claims that this is a directory traversal vulnerability in the isAllowedUrl function in the admin pages, which allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and gain administrator access via directory traversal sequences following a URI entry that does not require authentication.","cvssScore":6.4,"cvssVersion":"2.0","cvssVector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:N","cvssMetrics":[{"version":"2.0","score":6.4,"vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:N","source":"nvd@nist.gov","sourceName":"NVD","type":"Primary"}],"resolved":"MITIGATED-BY-RASP","published":"2016-01-21","lastModified":"2026-06-17","affectedProducts":[{"vendor":"oracle","product":"application testing suite","version":"12.4.0.2"},{"vendor":"oracle","product":"application testing suite","version":"12.5.0.2"}],"totalAffectedProducts":1,"references":[{"url":"http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/security/cpujan2016-2367955.html","source":"secalert_us@oracle.com","tags":["Patch","Vendor Advisory"]},{"url":"http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/81104","source":"secalert_us@oracle.com","tags":["Third Party Advisory","VDB Entry"]},{"url":"http://www.securitytracker.com/id/1034734","source":"secalert_us@oracle.com","tags":["Third Party Advisory","VDB Entry"]},{"url":"http://www.zerodayinitiative.com/advisories/ZDI-16-035","source":"secalert_us@oracle.com","tags":["Third Party Advisory","VDB Entry"]}],"reasoning":{"decidingSource":"secure-rule-match","decidingReason":"Promoted to MITIGATED-BY-RASP (security rule): this CVE's description identifies a directory traversal vulnerability that can be mitigated by an ARMR path-traversal security rule at the JVM level, without requiring a CVE-specific patch.
