Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the Oracle Payroll product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: Internal Operations). 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 Payroll. While the vulnerability is in Oracle Payroll, 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 Payroll accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 7.7 (Confidentiality impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N).
AnalysisAI
Cross-scope confidentiality compromise in Oracle Payroll (Oracle E-Business Suite, Internal Operations component) versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 allows a low-privileged, network-authenticated attacker to read all Oracle Payroll-accessible data and, because of a scope change, impact additional connected products. Disclosed in Oracle's July 2026 Critical Patch Update and tagged as an authentication-bypass class issue, it carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.7 driven entirely by high confidentiality impact with a changed scope. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, but the low attack complexity and single-privilege requirement make it a credible internal-abuse risk.
Technical ContextAI
Oracle Payroll is a module of Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS), Oracle's on-premises ERP platform, exposed over HTTP through the EBS application tier. The affected 'Internal Operations' component handles back-end payroll processing and inter-module data flows. The CVSS scope change (S:C) indicates the vulnerable Payroll code can breach the security authorization boundary and expose data belonging to other EBS products sharing the same environment, consistent with EBS's shared middle-tier and database architecture. No CWE was assigned by NVD or Oracle, but the vendor-supplied tag 'Authentication Bypass' combined with a pure confidentiality (C:H/I:N/A:N) profile points to a broken access-control or improper-authorization root cause that lets an authenticated user reach data beyond their entitlement rather than a memory-corruption or code-execution flaw.
RemediationAI
Apply the fixes delivered in Oracle's July 2026 Critical Patch Update (https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html), which is the primary and only vendor-sanctioned remediation for the affected 12.2.3-12.2.15 range; the input does not specify an exact patched build number beyond the CPU, so consult the CPU patch matrix for the precise EBS 12.2 patch level (Patch available per vendor advisory). Until the CPU is applied, reduce exposure by restricting network access to the EBS application tier and Payroll HTTP endpoints to trusted internal networks and VPN users, tightening EBS responsibility and role assignments so low-privilege accounts cannot reach Payroll Internal Operations functions, and increasing monitoring of Payroll data-access audit logs - with the trade-off that endpoint and responsibility restrictions can disrupt legitimate self-service or HR users and are only compensating controls, not a substitute for patching. Because exploitation requires a valid low-privilege account, promptly reviewing and de-provisioning stale or over-broad user accounts is a high-value interim measure.
