Summary

CVE-2012-0518 is a medium-severity Open Redirect (CWE-601) vulnerability in Oracle Fusion Middleware. Its CVSS base score is 4.7 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Data Obfuscation (T1001); ranked in the top 8% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; CISA has added it to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.

Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

The vulnerability is an unspecified flaw, tracked as CWE-601, in the Oracle Application Server Single Sign-On component of Oracle Fusion Middleware 10.1.4.3.0. It permits remote attackers to affect system integrity through unknown vectors related to redirects and is distinct from CVE-2012-3175. The associated CVSS 3.1 score is 4.7 with an attack vector of network, low complexity, no privileges required, and user interaction needed, resulting in changed scope and limited integrity impact without confidentiality or availability effects.

Remote unauthenticated attackers can exploit the issue by supplying crafted redirect parameters that cause the Single Sign-On service to forward legitimate users to arbitrary destinations under attacker control, thereby compromising the integrity of the authentication flow.

Oracle's October 2012 Critical Patch Update and related Mandriva advisories address the flaw through available patches for the affected Fusion Middleware version. The vulnerability appears in CISA's catalog of known exploited vulnerabilities, confirming observed real-world use.
