| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the attacker to lure an authenticated-or-unauthenticated end user into clicking a crafted HTTP(S) link targeting the vulnerable Oracle Scripting open-redirect endpoint in Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2.3-12.2.14; the attacker needs no credentials (PR:N) but cannot succeed without victim interaction (UI:R), making this a phishing-dependent flaw rather than a server-side RCE. The principal limiting factor is the mandatory human click, meaning realistic risk is highest for internet-facing EBS instances whose Scripting URLs can be presented to users as trustworthy; purely internal or unexposed EBS deployments substantially reduce the practical attack surface. |
| Impact | This is a moderate-severity open redirect (CWE-601) in Oracle Scripting within Oracle E-Business Suite, with a well-aligned set of signals that point to real-but-not-urgent risk. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N, base 6.1) shows network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated access but critically depends on user interaction (UI:R), which is consistent with an open-redirect/phishing primitive rather than direct server compromise. The scope change (S:C) and CWE-601 together indicate the impact lands partly outside the vulnerable component - the victim's browser is redirected to an attacker-controlled destination - which explains the low-but-nonzero confidentiality and integrity impacts (C:L/I:L) and absence of availability impact (A:N). The EPSS score of 0.23% (13th percentile) is low and agrees with the absence of KEV listing and the absence of any public PoC, so there is no evidence of active or imminent widespread exploitation. There are no conflicting signals here: a CVSS-network vector that genuinely requires human interaction, combined with low EPSS and no KEV, correctly reads as a lower-priority item than the 'network/unauthenticated' label alone might suggest. Prioritize patching as part of the normal Oracle October 2025 CPU cycle rather than as an emergency, with attention to internet-facing EBS deployments where the redirect could be weaponized for credential phishing. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker crafts a malicious URL pointing at a legitimate internet-facing Oracle Scripting / E-Business Suite endpoint that includes an attacker-controlled redirect parameter, then delivers it via email or a web link. A victim who clicks the trusted-looking EBS link is transparently redirected to an attacker-controlled site (e.g., a credential-harvesting clone), leveraging the trust of the legitimate domain. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and success depends on the victim interacting with the link. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 08, 2026
Open redirect (CWE-601) in the Oracle Scripting component of Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2.3 through 12.2.14 lets an unauthenticated, network-positioned attacker craft a link that redirects a victim to an attacker-controlled destination while appearing to originate from a trusted EBS host. The vulnerability is remote and requires no credentials (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N) but cannot be triggered without victim interaction (UI:R), and the scope-change flag (S:C) reflects that a successful redirect can expose or manipulate data in products and sessions beyond Oracle Scripting itself, producing low confidentiality and integrity impact for a base score of 6.1. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no confirmed active exploitation (not listed in CISA KEV); EPSS is 0.23% (13th percentile), consistent with a phishing-dependent flaw whose practical risk is concentrated in internet-facing EBS deployments.
RemediationAI
Oracle addresses this in the Critical Patch Update - October 2025 (https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpuoct2025.html), and no exact per-component patch version is specified in the available data, so treat remediation as: apply the October 2025 CPU to all Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2.3-12.2.14 instances (patch availability confirmed per vendor advisory), testing required customizations first since EBS CPU application is disruptive and staged. Where the CPU cannot be applied promptly, prioritize compensating controls that directly counter the phishing prerequisite: remove direct internet exposure of Oracle Scripting endpoints (place EBS behind VPN or an authenticated reverse proxy), which sharply cuts reachable attack surface but degrades usability for legitimate remote self-service users; enforce email and web gateway URL rewriting plus outbound redirect blocking from the EBS hostname so crafted links cannot complete to external destinations (may break legitimate deep links or SSO redirect chains); and restrict access to the Scripting module paths to trusted networks or roles. Because exploitation depends on a user clicking a crafted link, user-awareness training targeting EBS-branded phishing URLs is a useful secondary layer but not a substitute for patching. Monitor EBS HTTP logs for anomalous redirect responses to external hosts, and verify after remediation that redirect targets are validated against an allowlist.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The root cause class is CWE-601, URL Redirection to Untrusted Site ('Open Redirect'), in the Miscellaneous subcomponent of Oracle Scripting, an E-Business Suite module historically used for survey, scripted-interaction and self-service flows that render dynamic links and parameter-driven navigation. Because the vulnerable code accepts attacker-influenced input that determines a redirect target, an unauthenticated HTTP request with a crafted URL parameter causes the EBS server to issue an HTTP redirect to an arbitrary external site. The CVSS vector's scope change (S:C) signals that the vulnerable component's security authority does not bound the impact: redirected users carry the trust of the Oracle domain to a third-party site, which can feed credential-harvesting, OAuth/token capture, or malicious-payload delivery. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:oracle:scripting:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* confirms the affected artifact is Oracle Scripting broadly across the 12.2.x line, and the vendor advisory is bundled in Oracle's October 2025 Critical Patch Update rather than issued as a standalone fix.

DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the Oracle Scripting product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: Miscellaneous). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.3-12.2.14. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Scripting. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and while the vulnerability is in Oracle Scripting, attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle Scripting accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle Scripting accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 6.1 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N).
