Vulnerability in the Oracle HCM Common Architecture product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: Knowledge Integration). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.3-12.2.15. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle HCM Common Architecture. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle HCM Common Architecture 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).
AnalysisAI
Unauthorized information disclosure in Oracle HCM Common Architecture (Knowledge Integration component of Oracle E-Business Suite, versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15) lets a remote, unauthenticated attacker read critical HCM data over HTTP without any user interaction. Oracle rates this 7.5 (confidentiality-only impact) and addressed it in the April 2026 Critical Patch Update. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS exploitation probability is very low (0.03%), but SSVC flags the attack as automatable.
Technical ContextAI
The flaw sits in the Knowledge Integration component of Oracle HCM Common Architecture, a shared services layer within the Oracle E-Business Suite ERP platform (CPE cpe:2.3:a:oracle_corporation:oracle_hcm_common_architecture). It is classified as CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor), meaning an HTTP-accessible endpoint returns or exposes data it should protect, without enforcing proper access control. Because the CVSS scope is Unchanged (S:U) and only confidentiality is affected (C:H, I:N, A:N), the weakness reads more like a broken/absent authorization check on a data-serving interface than a memory-corruption or code-execution bug; data can be extracted but not modified and service availability is unaffected.
RemediationAI
Apply the fixes from the Oracle April 2026 Critical Patch Update; patch is available per vendor advisory at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpuapr2026.html, though Oracle does not publish a single discrete fixed build number for this component (fixes are delivered as CPU patch sets against the 12.2.x line). Because exploitation is unauthenticated and over HTTP, if you cannot patch immediately, restrict network reachability of the affected EBS/HCM endpoints - place them behind a VPN or IP allowlist, block untrusted access to the Knowledge Integration interface at the reverse proxy/WAF, and monitor HTTP logs for anomalous data-retrieval requests; the trade-off is that URL/IP filtering may disrupt legitimate integrations that call these endpoints and a WAF rule risks false positives, so validate against known integration traffic before enforcing. Given the internet-facing, automatable nature, prioritize removing direct external exposure of Oracle E-Business Suite as the key compensating control until the CPU is applied.
