MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Defense Evasion The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | The attacker must possess a valid low-privileged Oracle E-Business Suite account (PR:L per CVSS vector). The Oracle EBS application server's Worklist HTTP endpoint must be network-reachable by the attacker - whether internally (corporate LAN) or externally if the EBS instance is internet-exposed. No non-default configuration or special feature flag is indicated as a prerequisite; the Worklist component is a standard part of Oracle Workflow in all affected EBS 12.2.x deployments. Factors limiting exploitation: (1) a valid EBS credential is required - the CVSS PR:L metric rules out unauthenticated exploitation; (2) the vulnerability is bounded to versions 12.2.3-12.2.15, excluding unaffected EBS versions; (3) impact is read-only (C:H, I:N, A:N), meaning attackers cannot modify or delete workflow data through this vector alone; and (4) scope is unchanged (S:U), confining exposure to Oracle Workflow data rather than the broader EBS system. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 score of 6.5 (Medium) captures a network-accessible, low-complexity vulnerability requiring low privileges and no user interaction, with a High confidentiality impact and no integrity or availability effect. Oracle's own language - 'easily exploitable' - reinforces AC:L and the absence of UI requirements, indicating a low-friction exploitation path for any valid EBS account holder. The 'Authentication Bypass' tag from the EUVD entry introduces a nuance: while PR:L indicates that a session is required, the tag implies privilege escalation or authorization bypass beyond that session's intended scope - meaning even the most constrained EBS user could potentially read the entirety of Workflow-accessible data. No EPSS score was provided in the input data, so probabilistic exploitation likelihood cannot be independently quantified. The vulnerability is absent from the CISA KEV catalog and no public POC has been identified, suggesting no confirmed widespread exploitation at time of analysis. Real-world business risk is elevated by the nature of Oracle Workflow data - which typically includes financial approvals, HR actions, and procurement authorizations - making unauthorized read access organizationally significant even without code execution. The scope-unchanged (S:U) rating bounds the blast radius to the Workflow system itself, which is a meaningful limitation. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker holding a standard low-privileged Oracle EBS account - such as a workflow participant or employee user - submits a crafted HTTP request to the Oracle Workflow Worklist endpoint, bypassing authorization checks that should restrict data visibility to the attacker's own tasks. The authorization bypass allows the attacker to retrieve workflow records, approval chains, and associated metadata across all users and processes within the Workflow system. No public POC has been identified, but Oracle's characterization of the flaw as 'easily exploitable' with AC:L and no UI requirement suggests minimal technical sophistication is needed beyond possession of a valid EBS credential. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 19, 2026
Unauthorized data exposure in Oracle Workflow (E-Business Suite 12.2.3-12.2.15) allows a low-privileged, network-authenticated attacker to read all data accessible within the Oracle Workflow system via the Worklist HTTP component. Oracle classifies this as easily exploitable in its August 2026 Critical Patch Update, with a High confidentiality impact and no integrity or availability effects. No public exploit code has been identified and this vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Apply Oracle's August 2026 Critical Security Patch Update (CPU), announced and distributed via https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cspuaug2026.html. The CPU addresses the Worklist component authorization flaw across all affected EBS 12.2.3-12.2.15 installations; the exact patched release version was not independently confirmed from the provided references and should be verified against the Oracle support portal prior to deployment. If immediate patching is not operationally feasible, consider restricting network access to the Oracle EBS application server's Worklist HTTP endpoint at the firewall or WAF layer, limiting reachability to known, trusted client IP ranges - note this carries user access disruption if remote EBS access is in active use. Additionally, audit and minimize the number of active low-privileged EBS accounts that can reach the Worklist component, applying the principle of least privilege to role assignments within Oracle EBS. These compensating controls reduce exposure but do not eliminate the underlying authorization flaw and should be treated as temporary measures pending CPU application.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle Workflow is a business process automation component embedded in Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS), responsible for managing approvals, notifications, and workflow routing across enterprise functions such as finance, HR, and procurement. The vulnerable component is the Worklist - the HTTP-accessible end-user interface for task and approval management. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) indicates the flaw is reachable over HTTP with no user interaction and low attack complexity, consistent with an improper authorization or broken access control defect in the Worklist request-handling layer. The 'Authentication Bypass' tag from the EUVD entry (EUVD-2026-61442) suggests the root cause is authorization bypass - a low-privileged session is sufficient to access data beyond the attacker's permitted scope. No CWE is formally assigned, but the pattern aligns with CWE-285 (Improper Authorization) or CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key). Affected scope: Oracle E-Business Suite Workflow versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15.
