CVE-2025-30737 is a vulnerability identified in Oracle Smart View for Office version 24.200, a component of Oracle Hyperion used for integrating Microsoft Office with Oracle enterprise data. The flaw allows a high privileged attacker with network access over HTTP to compromise the application. Exploitation is challenging due to the requirement of high attacker privileges, the necessity of user interaction from a third party, and a high attack complexity. Upon successful exploitation, the attacker can gain unauthorized capabilities to create, delete, or modify critical data accessible via Smart View, thereby compromising data confidentiality and integrity. The vulnerability does not impact system availability. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 5.7, reflecting medium severity, with vector AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N indicating network attack vector, high attack complexity, high privileges required, user interaction required, unchanged scope, and high confidentiality and integrity impacts. No public exploits have been reported, and no patches are currently linked, suggesting organizations should monitor Oracle advisories closely. The vulnerability highlights risks in environments where privileged users have network access and where social engineering or inadvertent user actions can facilitate exploitation.

The vulnerability poses a significant risk to organizations relying on Oracle Smart View for Office for critical data integration and reporting. Unauthorized modification or deletion of data can lead to financial inaccuracies, compliance violations, and operational disruptions. Confidential data exposure could result in intellectual property loss or regulatory penalties. Since exploitation requires high privileges and user interaction, insider threats or compromised privileged accounts are primary concerns. The inability to affect availability limits potential for denial-of-service attacks, but data integrity and confidentiality impacts remain critical. Organizations with extensive Oracle Hyperion deployments in finance, government, and large enterprises face higher risk, especially where network access controls and user activity monitoring are insufficient. The medium severity score reflects a moderate but non-trivial threat that could be leveraged in targeted attacks or combined with other vulnerabilities for greater impact.

Organizations should implement strict network segmentation to limit HTTP access to Oracle Smart View for Office instances, restricting it to trusted users only. Enforce the principle of least privilege to minimize the number of users with high privileges capable of exploiting this vulnerability. Deploy robust user awareness training to reduce the risk of successful social engineering or inadvertent user interactions required for exploitation. Monitor and audit user activities and network traffic for anomalous behavior indicative of exploitation attempts. Apply Oracle security advisories promptly once patches or mitigations are released for version 24.200. Consider deploying application-layer firewalls or intrusion detection systems tuned to detect suspicious HTTP requests targeting Smart View. Regularly review and update access controls and authentication mechanisms to prevent unauthorized privilege escalation. Maintain an incident response plan that includes scenarios involving Oracle Smart View compromise. Finally, isolate critical data environments and back up data regularly to enable recovery from unauthorized modifications.
