Information Disclosure via OracleCommerceCloud-Version Header

Description

The 'OracleCommerceCloud-Version' header indicates that the application uses Oracle Commerce Cloud, revealing its platform and possibly its version. Attackers who know the underlying commerce framework can focus on exploiting known vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, or unpatched components. This might include targeting built-in functions, payment or checkout flows, and administrative endpoints. Furthermore, leaking version data can assist malicious actors in performing highly targeted phishing or reconnaissance campaigns. Ultimately, disclosing this information weakens the application’s security posture by giving adversaries hints about its technology stack and potential entry points.

Remediation

Remove or obfuscate the 'OracleCommerceCloud-Version' header unless operational requirements dictate otherwise. Review your Oracle Commerce Cloud configuration for options to disable or rename version headers, and ensure that sensitive meta-data is not broadcasted to the public. Employ a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or intrusion detection system to monitor and block suspicious requests that attempt to exploit known Oracle Commerce Cloud weaknesses. Keep the platform up to date with security patches and regularly audit any extensions, plugins, or integrations that could introduce vulnerabilities. Maintaining strict version disclosure policies and routine security assessments will further reduce the risk of targeted attacks.
