| Exploitation Conditions | The attacker must possess a valid low-privileged Oracle E-Business Suite user account with network access to the EBS application tier over HTTP. The CVSS vector (PR:L/AC:L/UI:N) confirms that a standard authenticated account is sufficient - no administrative privileges, no special configuration, and no victim interaction are required. The vulnerable component (Cover Letter within Oracle Content Manager) must be enabled and accessible to the user's role. Exploitation is constrained to Oracle EBS deployments running Content Manager versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15. Organizations where EBS is accessible only from trusted internal networks and where user accounts are tightly provisioned face meaningfully lower practical risk despite the low attack complexity. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.3 (Medium) is appropriate given the network-accessible, low-complexity attack path requiring only a valid low-privileged account. The absence of privilege escalation (S:U) and the partial rather than complete CIA impact keep the score in the medium tier, but the PR:L/AC:L combination means any authenticated EBS user - not just administrators - could attempt exploitation. No EPSS score was provided in the source data, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified independently. The vulnerability has not been added to CISA's KEV catalog, and no public proof-of-concept exploit code has been identified, suggesting no known widespread active exploitation at time of analysis. Real-world risk is most significant for organizations where Oracle EBS is accessible to a large internal user base or where the application tier is internet-facing, as the low privilege requirement broadens the potential attacker pool. For organizations with tightly scoped EBS user roles and internal-only deployments, practical risk is lower despite the network attack vector. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with a standard low-privileged Oracle EBS user account sends crafted HTTP requests to the Cover Letter component of Oracle Content Manager, exploiting a likely authorization or input validation weakness to access or manipulate data beyond their permitted scope. The attacker could read restricted Content Manager records, modify or delete data entries, or trigger partial service degradation affecting other users of the component. No public proof-of-concept exploit code has been identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 22, 2026
Oracle Content Manager versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 within Oracle E-Business Suite expose a medium-severity flaw in the Cover Letter component, exploitable by any low-privileged authenticated user over HTTP without user interaction. Successful exploitation allows unauthorized read access to a subset of Content Manager data, unauthorized insert/update/delete of accessible records, and partial denial of service against the component. No public exploit code and no CISA KEV listing have been identified at time of analysis; this vulnerability was disclosed as part of Oracle's July 2026 Critical Patch Update.
RemediationAI
Apply the relevant patches from Oracle's Critical Patch Update (CPU) for July 2026, available at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html. Oracle does not publish standalone patch version strings in public advisories; consult My Oracle Support (MOS) for the specific patch numbers applicable to your EBS release within the 12.2.3-12.2.15 range. As a compensating control before patching, use Oracle EBS function security and menu exclusion controls to restrict access to the Cover Letter component to only those roles that operationally require it, thereby reducing the pool of users who could reach the vulnerable endpoint. Additionally, if Oracle EBS is not required to be internet-facing, place the application tier behind a VPN or restrict HTTP access to trusted internal network ranges only, limiting network-based exploitation paths. Note that restricting Cover Letter access via function security will impact legitimate use of that feature and should be coordinated with business stakeholders.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle Content Manager is a document management module embedded within Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS), a widely deployed enterprise resource planning platform used by large organizations across industries. The affected subcomponent - Cover Letter - handles document cover letter generation and management within the EBS web application tier, accessible over HTTP. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L) indicates the flaw is reachable over the network with low attack complexity, requiring only a low-privileged EBS user account. No CWE classification was assigned, but the combined C:L/I:L/A:L impact with no scope change is consistent with an insufficient authorization or input validation weakness that allows a restricted user to exceed their intended data access or manipulation boundaries. Affected versions span a wide range - 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 - covering many years of EBS releases.

DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the Oracle Content Manager product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: Cover Letter). 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 Content Manager. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle Content Manager accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle Content Manager accessible data and unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of Oracle Content Manager. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 6.3 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L).
