Exploitation Conditions

No special configuration is required beyond the product being reachable over HTTP - exploitation targets the default Runtime UI component of Oracle Configurator as deployed within Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2.3-12.2.14. CVSS PR:N confirms no authentication is needed. The exploitable endpoint is the web-facing Runtime UI; if the EBS application tier is internet-exposed or reachable from an untrusted network segment, exploitation is directly possible without any user interaction (UI:N). Limiting factor: an attacker must have TCP/HTTP connectivity to the EBS application tier; deployments where EBS is strictly internal and not reachable from untrusted networks have a meaningfully reduced real-world exposure. No specific non-default feature toggle or configuration is identified in the description as a prerequisite.

Impact

All five exploitation-difficulty signals align to indicate a critical real-world priority. CVSS 3.1 rates this 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), indicating unauthenticated, one-step network exploitation with no user interaction. A public exploit exists (watchTowr Labs RCE chain). The CISA KEV catalog references this CVE, confirming active exploitation in the wild. In isolation, the confidentiality-only CVSS impact of C:H/I:N/A:N might suggest a moderate response window, but the watchTowr research demonstrates this CVE is a staging step in a pre-auth RCE chain with CVE-2025-61882 - so the realistic blast radius exceeds what the standalone CVSS score implies. There is no EPSS value provided in the input, but given KEV status and a public exploit targeting a high-value enterprise ERP platform, prioritization should be immediate. The only limiting factor is that an attacker requires network-level access to the Oracle EBS application tier.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated attacker with HTTP access to the Oracle EBS application tier sends a crafted HTTP request to the Configurator Runtime UI containing path traversal sequences (e.g., ../../) in a URL or parameter. The server resolves the traversal and returns the contents of an out-of-bounds file - potentially including credential material, session tokens, or configuration data. As demonstrated by watchTowr Labs, this file access is then chained with CVE-2025-61882 to escalate from data disclosure to unauthenticated remote code execution on the EBS server.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 04, 2026

Unauthenticated path traversal in Oracle Configurator's Runtime UI (part of Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2.3-12.2.14) exposes the complete data accessible to the Configurator application over plain HTTP with no prerequisites. The CISA KEV catalog references this CVE, and watchTowr Labs has published a pre-authentication RCE chain combining this flaw with CVE-2025-61882 - meaning confidentiality loss is the isolated impact, but chaining enables full system compromise. A publicly available exploit exists, and the July 2025 Oracle Critical Patch Update (CPU) addresses this vulnerability.

RemediationAI

Apply the Oracle July 2025 Critical Patch Update (CPU) immediately; this update addresses CVE-2025-61884 and the related CVE-2025-61882. The CPU is documented at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/alert-cve-2025-61884.html and https://blogs.oracle.com/security/post/apply-july-2025-cpu - consult those pages for the exact patch identifier and prerequisite patch dependencies specific to your EBS 12.2.x release level. If immediate patching is not possible, restrict network access to the Oracle Configurator Runtime UI endpoint at the network perimeter or web application firewall layer - blocking external and untrusted-network access to the EBS application tier removes the network attack vector (trade-off: this will disrupt legitimate remote users of Configurator). Additionally, enable Oracle EBS access controls to ensure the Configurator URL namespace is not reachable anonymously. Do not treat network restriction as a permanent substitute for the CPU patch given confirmed active exploitation.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Oracle Configurator is a rules-based product configuration engine embedded within Oracle E-Business Suite, accessed via its Runtime UI web component over HTTP. CWE-22 (Path Traversal) identifies the root cause: the Runtime UI fails to sanitize or canonicalize user-supplied path segments before resolving file or resource references on the server, allowing an attacker to escape the intended directory tree. The CPE string cpe:2.3:a:oracle:configurator:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covers the full 12.2.3 through 12.2.14 version range. Tags indicate a secondary Authentication Bypass dimension, consistent with the watchTowr chain in which this path traversal is used to read credential or session material that enables privilege escalation via the companion CVE-2025-61882.

DescriptionCVE.org

Vulnerability in the Oracle Configurator product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: Runtime UI). 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 Configurator. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle Configurator accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 7.5 (Confidentiality impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N).

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Oracle E-Business Suite Configurator contains an unauthenticated path traversal vulnerability affecting versions 12.2.3-12.2.14 that exposes application data over plain HTTP to any network-connected attacker. Organizations running affected versions face immediate data breach risk; exploitation is confirmed actively exploited (CISA KEV) and can be chained with related CVEs for complete system compromise, affecting enterprises dependent on this platform for financial, supply chain, and HR operations.

Attack Technique

Authentication bypass attacks exploit flaws in the verification mechanisms that control access to systems and applications.

Path traversal exploits occur when applications use user-controlled input to construct file system paths without proper validation.
