Description

WebLogic Express and WebLogic Server contains a flaw that may allow a remote attacker to gain access to unauthorized privileges. The issue is triggered when a weblogic.xml file is edited through Weblogic Builder or the SecurityRoleAssignmentMBean.toXML() method, which causes the permissions to reset to defaults allowing access to the web application. This flaw may lead to a loss of confidentiality.
