Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the Oracle Access Manager product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: Authentication Engine). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Access Manager. While the vulnerability is in Oracle Access Manager, attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle Access Manager accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 8.6 (Confidentiality impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N).
AnalysisAI
Unauthorized data access in Oracle Access Manager (Fusion Middleware, Authentication Engine) 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0 allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to compromise confidentiality over HTTP, with a scope change that can significantly impact other Oracle products relying on it for single sign-on. Tagged as an Authentication Bypass, the flaw carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.6 and is addressed in the Oracle Critical Patch Update of July 2026. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
Technical ContextAI
Oracle Access Manager (OAM) is the web access management and single sign-on (SSO) component of Oracle Fusion Middleware, brokering authentication and session tokens for downstream enterprise applications. The defect lies specifically in the Authentication Engine and is characterized by the vendor as enabling an unauthenticated network attacker to reach protected data. The vendor did not assign a CWE (CWE: N/A), but the 'Authentication Bypass' tag combined with the scope-change (S:C) and pure confidentiality impact (C:H, I:N, A:N) is consistent with a weakness that lets an attacker bypass or subvert authentication decisions to read data across trust boundaries, affecting resources beyond OAM itself. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:oracle_corporation:oracle_access_manager, matching the SSO tier that fronts many Oracle middleware and custom applications.
RemediationAI
Apply the fixes in the Oracle Critical Patch Update of July 2026 (https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html) to the affected Oracle Access Manager releases 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0 - Patch available per vendor advisory; the exact patched build should be taken directly from the CPU matrix for your version. Until patching is complete, reduce exposure by restricting network reachability of the OAM authentication endpoints: place OAM behind a VPN or IP allowlist, terminate untrusted HTTP access at a reverse proxy or WAF, and limit inbound access to only the application tiers and administrators that require it, accepting that tightening access may disrupt external SSO flows and federated partners. Because the flaw is unauthenticated over HTTP, network-layer restriction is the most reliable compensating control until Oracle's patch is deployed; monitor OAM authentication logs for anomalous access to protected resources in the interim.
