I wrote about a week ago:
Many Oracle web server installations have a fcgi-bin/echo script left over from default demo (google for inurl:fcgi-bin/echo). That script seems vulnerable to XSS. (PoC exploit and explanation of impact withheld now.) I asked security () oracle com and they said that "... this issue has been resolved in an earlier Critical Patch Update." I looked at some recent CPU summaries, but did not notice anything relevant: maybe their reply refers to the old http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/717827 ? Website owners please remove demo software from production servers, e.g. as per Oracle recommendation http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/core.1012/b13999/checklist.htm#BABIBCIC
Oracle now told me that (they double-checked and) The issue ... has been addressed by the fixes released in CPUJan2007. Could someone verify whether that in fact solves the issue? Hmm... maybe difficult to verify, since I did not post a PoC test. Maybe a kind Oracle admin could point me to a patched fcgi-bin/echo? Funny if any such existed: an admin careful to keep patches up-to-date, but careless in not following security recommendations to remove... Maybe, contact me off-list so I can provide PoC?
