**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Oracle Fusion Middleware version 10.1.3.5
**Description**
The issue affects confidentiality and is related to HTTP Request Handling. It involves incorrect handling of a null byte in the path when forwarding a request to another static page or JSP script using functions like `pageContext.forward` or `jsp:forward`. This can disrupt the logic of script processing by global servlets, potentially allowing an attacker to form a request to process a JSP script as SHTML, thereby obtaining the script's source code. On Windows operating systems, in combination with a directory traversal vulnerability, this could lead to the execution of arbitrary commands when a file containing SHTML code is called as an SHTML script.
**Recommendations**
For Oracle Fusion Middleware version 10.1.3.5, consider restricting access to vulnerable functions like `pageContext.forward` or `jsp:forward` until a patch is available. Additionally, avoid using the `jsp:forward` function to forward requests to static pages or JSP scripts that could be manipulated by an attacker. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the execution of SHTML scripts to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
