Oracle · Intelligence Enterprise Edition

CVSS 7.5 EPSS 97% 1 public exploit Fix deadline passed 18 July 2022

What it is

Path traversal vulnerability, where an attacker can target the preview FilePath parameter of the getPreviewImage function to get access to arbitrary system file.

Why we say that

  • EPSS puts exploitation in the next 30 days at 97%
  • 1 public exploit published
  • CISA's federal remediation deadline (2022-07-18) has passed
  • Listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalogue

Every line above comes from a named public source. Where the evidence is thin, we say so rather than inventing confidence — see methodology.

What to do

Apply updates per vendor instructions.

Public exploit code

Indexed from Exploit-DB. Presence of code raises urgency; absence does not mean safety.
