CVE-2009-0981

22
FAUCET Score

CVE-2009-0981 is an unspecified vulnerability in the Application Express (APEX) component of Oracle Database 11.1.0.7. This flaw allows remote authenticated users to compromise confidentiality by potentially obtaining APEX password hashes from the WWV_FLOW_USERS table. With a CVSS score of 4.0, it is considered a medium-severity vulnerability, requiring authentication but being easily exploitable over the network with a partial impact on confidentiality. While there is no evidence of active exploitation or Metasploit/Nuclei modules, an ExploitDB entry (EDB-8456) confirms that unprivileged database users can indeed view APEX password hashes. Despite its age and the availability of exploit details, there is minimal community discussion or media coverage surrounding this CVE.
