CVE-2020-14768 — Vulnerability in the Hyperion Analytic Provider Services product of Oracle Hyperion (component: Smart View Provider)

Medium CVSS 4.3

Vulnerability in the Hyperion Analytic Provider Services product of Oracle Hyperion (component: Smart View Provider). The supported version that is affected is 11.1.2.4. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with access to the physical communication segment attached to the hardware where the Hyperion Analytic Provider Services executes to compromise Hyperion Analytic Provider Services. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Hyperion Analytic Provider Services accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of Hyperion Analytic Provider Services accessible data and unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of Hyperion Analytic Provider Services. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 4.3 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/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.
