1 technique across 1 tactic: Initial Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | The only prerequisite is network HTTP reachability of the Oracle Hospitality Simphony POS service on an affected version (19.8-19.8.5, 19.9-19.9.3, or 19.10-19.10.1); per the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) there is no authentication, no user interaction, and no special non-default configuration required for exploitation. The primary limiting factor is exposure: exploitation depends on the attacker being able to route HTTP traffic to the Simphony service, so deployments that keep the POS service on isolated or firewalled store/enterprise networks substantially reduce reachability, while any internet- or broadly-network-exposed instance is at direct risk. |
| Impact | The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) describes the highest-priority risk profile: network-reachable, low complexity, no privileges, and no user interaction, which Oracle reinforces by calling it 'easily exploitable.' Impact is bounded to integrity and availability (C:N/I:H/A:H), so this is a data-corruption and outage threat rather than a data-theft threat - for a live POS system, that still means falsified transactions, deleted records, and complete service crashes. There is no EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public POC in the provided data, so despite the 9.1 rating there is currently no evidence of active or automated exploitation; the risk is high-potential but not yet demonstrated in the wild. The main uncertainty is exposure: real-world risk hinges on whether the affected Simphony HTTP service is reachable from untrusted networks or confined to internal/segmented deployments, which the input data does not specify. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who can reach the Simphony POS HTTP service sends crafted unauthenticated requests to a data-handling endpoint, allowing them to alter or delete critical POS records (for example, transaction, menu, or pricing data) or to repeatedly crash the service and take the point-of-sale offline during business hours. Given AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, no credentials, user interaction, or elevated privileges are needed. No public POC is identified at this time, but Oracle's 'easily exploitable' characterization suggests weaponization would be straightforward. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 18, 2026
Unauthenticated data tampering and denial of service in Oracle Hospitality Simphony POS (versions 19.8-19.8.5, 19.9-19.9.3, 19.10-19.10.1) lets a remote attacker with only HTTP network access create, delete, or modify all Simphony-accessible data and force a repeatable crash. Oracle rates it CVSS 3.1 9.1 with high integrity and availability impact and describes it as easily exploitable, though there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis. It was reported by Oracle's own security team and fixed in the August 2026 Critical Patch Update.
RemediationAI
Patch available per vendor advisory: apply the fixes in the Oracle Critical Patch Update of August 2026 (https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cspuaug2026.html), upgrading each affected branch to the patched release above 19.8.5, 19.9.3, or 19.10.1 as listed by Oracle for your version - the input does not name a single exact fixed build, so confirm the target version in the CPU matrix. Because the flaw is unauthenticated and network-reachable over HTTP, until patching is complete restrict network access to the Simphony POS service so it is reachable only from trusted management and store networks (network segmentation / firewall allow-listing), and place it behind a reverse proxy or WAF that can filter unauthenticated requests to the affected endpoints; the trade-off is that overly aggressive filtering or segmentation can disrupt legitimate POS terminal, kitchen, or enterprise-management traffic, so validate against normal store communication flows before enforcing.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle Hospitality Simphony is a cloud-connected enterprise point-of-sale platform used across restaurants, hotels, stadiums, and food-and-beverage venues; the affected component is the POS module, which exposes network services over HTTP. The vulnerability is reachable pre-authentication over the network, indicating a flaw in HTTP request handling or an exposed API/service endpoint that fails to enforce authentication and input validation before acting on data. No CWE was assigned by Oracle or NVD, but the observed impact profile (integrity and availability compromise without confidentiality loss) is consistent with a missing-authorization / improper-access-control class of defect on a data-modifying and crash-triggering endpoint rather than an information-disclosure bug.

DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the Oracle Hospitality Simphony product of Oracle Food and Beverage Applications (component: POS). Supported versions that are affected are 19.8-19.8.5, 19.9-19.9.3 and 19.10-19.10.1. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Hospitality Simphony. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or all Oracle Hospitality Simphony accessible data and unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of Oracle Hospitality Simphony. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 9.1 (Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H).
Executive ViewAI
Oracle Hospitality Simphony POS (versions 19.8-19.10.1) is exposed to a critical vulnerability that enables remote attackers to tamper with transaction records, inventory, and customer data, and to disable POS systems entirely without requiring any authentication. This directly threatens operational continuity and data integrity across hospitality businesses. Immediate patching is essential to prevent financial loss and customer impact.
