Oracle · Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control · CVE-2016-0492
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control versions 12.4.0.2 through 12.5.0.2
**Description**
The issue affects confidentiality and integrity, potentially allowing remote attackers to bypass authentication. It is related to Load Testing for Web Apps. There are claims that this could be a directory traversal vulnerability in the `isAllowedUrl` function, which may allow attackers to bypass authentication via directory traversal sequences following a URI entry that does not require authentication, such as `/olt/Login.do/../../olt/UploadFileUpload.do`.
**Recommendations**
For versions 12.4.0.2 and 12.5.0.2, consider restricting access to the Load Testing for Web Apps component until a patch is available.
As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the `isAllowedUrl` function to prevent potential directory traversal attacks.
Avoid using URI entries that do not require authentication in the affected Load Testing for Web Apps component until the issue is resolved.
