CVE-2009-1968

Status: ModifiedMedium (4.3)—💥 Exploit

Unspecified vulnerability in the Secure Enterprise Search component in Oracle Database 10.1.8.3 allows remote attackers to affect integrity via unknown vectors. NOTE: the previous information was obtained from the July 2009 CPU. Oracle has not commented on claims from an established researcher that this is cross-site scripting (XSS) via the search_p_groups parameter in search/query/search.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).

💥 Public exploits

Exploit code or detection templates are publicly available. This is not the same as confirmed active exploitation (KEV), but it raises the risk: patch with priority.
