CrowdStrike security researchers Joel Snape and Lutz Wolf have been credited with discovering and reporting the flaw.
There is currently no information available on who is exploiting the vulnerability, the targets of the malicious activity, and how widespread these attacks are.
“If successfully exploited, an unauthenticated perpetrator could download, from the targeted system, files accessible under the privileges used by the PLM application,” Eric Maurice, vice president of Security Assurance at Oracle, said.
In light of active exploitation, users are recommended to apply the latest patches as soon as possible for optimal protection.
