Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-21975 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Oracle Corporation Application Express (APEX). No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-21975/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-21975/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-21975","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-21975/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-21975","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8crp-3fx9-ghhw"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["account_takeover","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Oracle APEX plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A low-privileged attacker can exploit a cross-site scripting flaw in the Oracle APEX Customers Plugin to take over user accounts via network access.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"oracle","cpe":[{"product":"application_express","vendor":"oracle"}],"cvss":{"score":9,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"Vulnerability in the Application Express Customers Plugin product of Oracle Application Express (component: User Account).
