CVE-2018-2888 — Vulnerability in the MICROS Retail-J component of Oracle Retail Applications (subcomponent: Back Office)

Medium CVSS 6.7

Vulnerability in the MICROS Retail-J component of Oracle Retail Applications (subcomponent: Back Office). Supported versions that are affected are 10.2.x, 11.0.x, 12.0.x, 12.1.x, 12.1.1.x,12.1.2.x and 13.1.x. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows physical access to compromise MICROS Retail-J. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and while the vulnerability is in MICROS Retail-J, attacks may significantly impact additional products. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or all MICROS Retail-J accessible data as well as unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all MICROS Retail-J accessible data and unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of MICROS Retail-J. CVSS 3.0 Base Score 6.7 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:P/AC:H/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:L).

Matched remediation archetype

Resource exhaustion and denial of service

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Identify attacker-influenced work factors including input size, nesting, compression, fan-out, regex cost, allocation, recursion, retries, and connection lifetime.
  • Map per-request and shared CPU, memory, disk, descriptor, thread, queue, and downstream-service limits.
  • Determine whether authentication, tenancy, quotas, and rate controls apply before expensive processing begins.

Remediate safely

  • Bound input size, nesting, expansion, work, concurrency, queue depth, retries, and execution time before resource-intensive processing.
  • Release resources on every success, error, cancellation, and timeout path and use backpressure instead of unbounded buffering.
  • Update affected components and add small deterministic tests that assert resource ceilings rather than exhausting a host.
