MITRE ATT&CK

1 technique across 1 tactic: Defense Evasion

The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

Attacker must (1) reach the Oracle E-Business Suite HTTP middle tier hosting the Universal Work Queue module over the network and (2) hold any valid low-privileged EBS account (PR:L) able to authenticate to the Work Provider Site Level Administration component in EBS 12.2.3-12.2.15. No user interaction is required (UI:N) and attack complexity is low (AC:L), so any non-default hardening such as IP allowlisting of the EBS web tier, removal of internet-facing self-service modules, or stripping Universal Work Queue responsibilities from generic user roles materially limits exploitation. Versions outside 12.2.3-12.2.15 and deployments where the Universal Work Queue component is not provisioned are not in scope.

Impact

All available signals point to this being a real priority for EBS operators: CVSS 3.1 is 9.9 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H) - network reachable, low complexity, only low privileges needed, no user interaction, and a scope change meaning impact extends beyond Universal Work Queue itself. EPSS, KEV status, and SSVC decision data were not provided in the input, so exploitation probability and active-exploitation status cannot be quantified here; treat the absence of KEV as 'no active exploitation confirmed' rather than 'safe.' EBS internet-facing deployments are a recurring target for opportunistic attackers after Oracle CPUs drop, so the gap between disclosure and exploitation can be short despite no public POC being identified at time of analysis.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker with any low-privileged EBS account - for example a self-service or supplier-portal user reachable over the internet - sends a crafted HTTP request to the Work Provider Site Level Administration endpoint and abuses the flaw to take over the Universal Work Queue module, then pivots through the scope change to read or modify data in other EBS products such as CRM or HR. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the AC:L/PR:L/UI:N profile means weaponization is straightforward once details are reverse-engineered from the June 2026 CPU.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jun 16, 2026

Privilege escalation and full takeover of Oracle Universal Work Queue (component: Work Provider Site Level Administration) in Oracle E-Business Suite versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 allows a low-privileged remote attacker over HTTP to compromise the application with scope change extending impact to additional products. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 9.9 with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

Patch available per vendor advisory: apply the fixes delivered in the Oracle Critical Patch Update - June 2026 (https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cspujun2026.html) to every EBS 12.2.3-12.2.15 environment running Universal Work Queue; Oracle does not publish per-CVE point versions, so apply the CPU bundle rather than waiting for an isolated hotfix. Until the CPU is applied, restrict network access to the EBS middle tier so that the Universal Work Queue HTTP endpoints (notably Work Provider Site Level Administration servlets/JSPs) are reachable only from trusted internal networks via VPN or reverse-proxy ACLs, and tighten EBS responsibilities so that ordinary users do not hold any Universal Work Queue or Site-Level Administration responsibilities (trade-off: legitimate work-queue users lose access until patched). Enable and monitor EBS FND audit logs and web-tier access logs for unexpected POSTs to Universal Work Queue admin URLs as a detective control.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Oracle Universal Work Queue is a component of the Oracle E-Business Suite that distributes and manages work items across CRM and back-office applications, exposed via HTTP through the E-Business Suite middle tier. The affected component, Work Provider Site Level Administration, governs how work providers are registered and configured at the site level, and a flaw there can be reached by any authenticated EBS user with network access. CWE is not assigned by NVD, but the CVSS scope change (S:C) and full triad impact, combined with Oracle's pattern of EBS HTTP-tier flaws, point to an authorization or input-handling weakness in a site-administration servlet/endpoint that crosses trust boundaries into other EBS modules.

DescriptionCVE.org

Vulnerability in the Oracle Universal Work Queue product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: Work Provider Site Level Administration). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.3-12.2.15. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Universal Work Queue. While the vulnerability is in Oracle Universal Work Queue, attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle Universal Work Queue. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 9.9 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H).

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Oracle E-Business Suite versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 contain a critical privilege escalation flaw in the Universal Work Queue component that allows authenticated low-privileged remote attackers to gain complete system control, with scope extending to dependent applications and data systems. Organizations running affected versions face immediate operational risk with complete loss of confidentiality, integrity, and availability across their EBS infrastructure.

Business Impact: Severe
Compensating Controls

Restrict HTTP/HTTPS access to Oracle E-Business Suite administrative interfaces to designated internal IP ranges; implement network segmentation isolating EBS systems from general user networks; deploy privileged access management (PAM) with strict approval workflows for administrator role activation; enable comprehensive audit logging of all Work Provider Site Level Administration transactions; implement network intrusion detection focused on privilege escalation patterns. No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis.
