| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires a valid low-privileged account with network access to the Oracle E-Business Suite HTTP interface - this is confirmed by the CVSS PR:L assignment. The attacker must be able to reach the Oracle Payments File Transmission component over HTTP, meaning this is not exploitable against installations where this component is isolated from untrusted networks. The authentication bypass condition implies the attacker holds some valid session or credential but abuses a control weakness to exceed their authorized scope. What limits exploitation: the attacker must already have at least a low-privileged account in the EBS environment (PR:L, not PR:N), eliminating fully unauthenticated external attackers; availability impact is absent, so this cannot be used for denial of service; and the integrity impact is partial (I:L), meaning full data destruction or corruption is not achievable through this vector alone. The specific configuration or feature flag that triggers the bypass within File Transmission is not disclosed in the available data. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.1 (High) is driven by network attack vector, low complexity, low privilege requirement, no user interaction, and high confidentiality impact - all strong prioritization signals. The vendor description explicitly labels this 'easily exploitable,' corroborating the AC:L and PR:L assignments. The integrity impact is limited (I:L), scoped to insert/update/delete on a subset of data rather than full compromise, which moderately constrains the blast radius. No EPSS score was provided in the input data, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified. No KEV listing is present, indicating no confirmed active exploitation at time of analysis. However, the 'Authentication Bypass' tag is a high-salience signal: bypass flaws in financial transaction components historically attract targeted exploitation once details surface, particularly against internet-facing EBS deployments. The absence of availability impact (A:N) reduces operational disruption risk but does not diminish the sensitivity of exposed payment data. Overall: this is a genuine high-priority patch for any organization running Oracle EBS with the Payments module, especially if the File Transmission component is reachable from untrusted networks. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with a low-privileged account in Oracle E-Business Suite - such as a contractor, read-only business user, or compromised service credential - sends crafted HTTP requests to the File Transmission component of Oracle Payments. By exploiting the authentication bypass flaw, the attacker elevates their effective access beyond their granted role, retrieving complete payment records (bank account details, transaction data, payee information) and injecting or modifying a subset of payment file data. No public proof-of-concept code was identified at time of analysis, but the low attack complexity suggests exploitation would be straightforward once the bypass mechanism is understood. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 18, 2026
Unauthorized data access and partial data manipulation is possible in Oracle Payments (E-Business Suite component: File Transmission) across versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 via an authentication bypass exploitable over HTTP. A low-privileged network attacker can obtain complete read access to all Oracle Payments data and perform unauthorized insert, update, or delete operations against a subset of that data. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, though the 'easily exploitable' vendor classification combined with low attack complexity elevates real-world risk for unpatched EBS environments.
RemediationAI
Apply the Oracle Critical Security Patch Update (CPU) for August 2026, available at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cspuaug2026.html, which contains the fix for this vulnerability in Oracle Payments. Oracle does not typically publish individual patched version numbers for EBS CPUs; administrators should consult the August 2026 CPU advisory for the specific patch bundle applicable to their release. As a compensating control prior to patching, restrict HTTP access to the Oracle Payments File Transmission component at the network layer - specifically, limit inbound access to trusted internal IP ranges or known bank/partner endpoints only, rather than exposing the endpoint broadly. Additionally, audit current low-privileged user accounts in Oracle Payments for unnecessary access and review recent File Transmission logs for anomalous access patterns. Note that network-layer restrictions may disrupt legitimate automated payment file exchanges if partner IP ranges are not carefully allowlisted.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) is an integrated enterprise resource planning suite; the Payments module handles financial transaction processing and file-based payment transmissions (e.g., ACH, SEPA, SWIFT file formats exchanged with banks). The vulnerable component is File Transmission, which processes and routes payment instruction files over HTTP. The vendor-assigned tag 'Authentication Bypass' indicates the root cause involves insufficient enforcement of access controls or session validation within this component, allowing a minimally authenticated principal to elevate effective access beyond their granted privileges. No CWE was assigned by NVD in the provided data, but the behavior is consistent with CWE-284 (Improper Access Control) or CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization). Affected CPE covers Oracle Payments releases 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 as confirmed by EUVD-2026-61430.

DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the Oracle Payments product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: File Transmission). 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 Payments. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle Payments accessible data as well as unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle Payments accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 7.1 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N).
Executive ViewAI
CVE-2026-60781 affects Oracle E-Business Suite Payments module versions 12.2.3-12.2.15, enabling unauthenticated network attackers to read all payment transaction data and modify a subset of records through an authentication bypass. Organizations with unpatched EBS environments face immediate risk of financial data exposure and unauthorized transaction manipulation.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include: restrict network access to Payments File Transmission services via firewall rules and network segmentation; disable HTTP and enforce HTTPS with TLS 1.2+; implement strict access controls and multi-factor authentication for administrative access; enable real-time alerting on suspicious data access or modification activity; isolate affected systems from internet-facing networks; implement continuous monitoring for exploitation attempts.
