########################################################### Name SQL Injection Vulnerability in Oracle WWV_FLOW_UTILITIES Systems Affected Oracle APEX/HTMLDB Severity High Risk Category SQL Injection Vendor URL http://www.oracle.com/ Author Alexander Kornbrust (ak at red-database-security.com) Date 18 October 2006 (V 1.00) Advisory http://www.red-database-security.com/advisory/oracle_apex_sql_injection_wwv_flow_utilities.html Details ####### The list of values (LOV) in wwv_flow_utilities.gen_popup_list contains a SQL injection vulnerability. Depending of the APEX application it is possible to inject custom SQL statements. The entire SQL statement is accessible from the URL in the parameter P_LOV. To protect the SELECT statement in the URL Oracle is using a MD5 checksum. By modifying the SQL statement and recalculating the MD5 checksum P_LOV_CHECKSUM it is possible to run custom SQL statements from the URL. Sample URL: http://apex:7777/pls/htmldb/wwv_flow_utilities.gen_popup_list?p_filter=&p_name=p_t02&p_element_index=1&p_hidden_elem_name=p_t01&p_form_index=0&p_max_elements=&p_escape_html=&p_ok_to_query=YES&p_flow_id=100&p_page_id=11&p_session_id=15108399238201864297&p_eval_value=&p_return_key=YES&p_translation=N&p_lov=select%20cust_last_name%20||%20'%2C%20'%20||%20cust_first_name%20d%2C%20customer_id%20r%20from%20demo_customers%20order%20by%20cust_last_name&p_lov_checksum=82C7EFB6FA3A2FA2C6E1A70FB63BB064 Affected Products ################# This bug is fixed with 2.2 of APEX which is not part of the Critical Patch Update October 2006.
