Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires (1) network HTTP access to the Oracle E-Business Suite web tier hosting Cost Management, and (2) a valid low-privileged EBS account (CVSS PR:L - authenticated). What LIMITS exploitation: the vulnerability is high attack complexity (AC:H), meaning the attacker must meet additional conditions outside their control - such as winning a timing/race window or gathering specific environment-dependent information - before the attack succeeds; no user interaction is needed (UI:N). It is confined to supported EBS versions 12.2.3-12.2.15, and scope is unchanged (S:U), so impact stays within the Cost Management module rather than pivoting to other systems. This is NOT unauthenticated or default-config exploitable: both a login and the difficult preconditions must be met.

Impact

The vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H scores 7.5 (High) and blends opposing signals: network reachability with full CIA impact (raising severity) against high attack complexity plus a required authenticated account (lowering practical exploitability). AC:H means the attacker must win a race, defeat a mitigating condition, or gather specific preparatory information, and PR:L means a valid low-privilege EBS account is needed, so this is not a trivial internet-wide mass-exploitation candidate. No EPSS score, POC, or KEV status was provided, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified; the absence of KEV and any exploit reference suggests no known active exploitation. Net: an important patch for organizations running EBS 12.2.x (full module takeover), but the AC:H + PR:L combination makes opportunistic exploitation less likely than the 7.5 headline implies - prioritize by EBS exposure and account hygiene rather than treating it as a drop-everything unauthenticated RCE.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker holding a low-privileged Oracle E-Business Suite account (for example a compromised employee or contractor login) sends crafted HTTP requests to the Cost Management Costing Transaction Errors component. By satisfying the specific complex conditions the flaw requires, they escalate from limited access to full takeover of the module, reading and altering costing data. No public exploit code has been identified, so this would currently require original exploit development.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jul 22, 2026

Takeover of Oracle Cost Management, the costing module of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: Costing Transaction Errors), is achievable by a low-privileged attacker with HTTP network access. Successful exploitation yields full confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromise of the module across EBS releases 12.2.3 through 12.2.15. Rated CVSS 3.1 7.5 but explicitly difficult to exploit (AC:H); no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not on the CISA KEV list.

RemediationAI

Apply Oracle's July 2026 Critical Patch Update, which contains the fix; patch available per vendor advisory at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html - the input does not list a discrete fix build number, so identify the exact 12.2.x patch for your release from that CPU. Because exploitation requires a low-privileged authenticated account, until patching completes reduce risk by tightening EBS user provisioning and revoking unnecessary accounts, restricting network reachability of the EBS web tier to trusted internal networks or VPN instead of the public internet, and placing a WAF or reverse proxy in front of the Costing Transaction Errors functionality; these are compensating controls only - they raise an already-high bar (AC:H) but do not remove the flaw, and over-restricting access may disrupt legitimate costing users.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Oracle E-Business Suite is Oracle's on-premises ERP suite, and Cost Management is the module responsible for inventory and manufacturing cost accounting; the affected code path is its 'Costing Transaction Errors' component. EBS 12.2.x runs as a web-tier application (Oracle Application Server / WebLogic front end over an Oracle database) reachable over HTTP, which is why the vector is AV:N. Oracle assigned no CWE (CWE: N/A) and the advisory does not disclose the weakness class, so the exact root cause (e.g. injection, access-control bypass, or deserialization) cannot be stated from the available data; the phrase 'takeover of Oracle Cost Management' indicates the flaw grants full control of the module rather than a single data leak, despite the vendor's 'Information Disclosure' tag.

DescriptionCVE.org

Vulnerability in the Oracle Cost Management product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: Costing Transaction Errors). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.3-12.2.15. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Cost Management. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle Cost Management. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 7.5 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

CVE-2026-60806 affects Oracle Cost Management within E-Business Suite (versions 12.2.3-12.2.15), enabling low-privileged attackers to fully compromise the costing module's confidentiality, integrity, and availability through HTTP network access. Organizations using affected EBS releases face risk of unauthorized access to cost data, manipulation of costing records, and service disruption to critical financial operations. Successful exploitation could undermine accuracy of cost allocations, break audit trails, and create compliance violations in financial reporting.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim compensating controls: restrict HTTP network access to the Costing module via firewall or WAF to authorized internal networks only; enforce multi-factor authentication for all cost management users; implement enhanced audit logging of costing transaction modifications with real-time alerting for anomalous changes; apply principle of least privilege to limit user access to cost data; segregate the Costing module network segment from untrusted or lower-security zones.
