Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires a valid low-privileged Oracle E-Business Suite account with network HTTP access to the Oracle Installed Base module (CVSS PR:L, AV:N, AC:L, UI:N) and targets the 'Create Item Instance' component of EBS 12.2.3-12.2.15. Limiting factors: the attacker must already be authenticated (no unauthenticated exploitation is supported by the CVSS vector, despite the input's 'Authentication Bypass' tag), the instance must be network-reachable over HTTP, and only versions in the 12.2.3-12.2.15 range are affected. No specific non-default configuration is named by Oracle, so default deployments running the Installed Base module appear exploitable by any authenticated user who can reach the component; impact is bounded to confidentiality (full read of accessible data) and partial integrity (some insert/update/delete), with no availability impact.

Impact

The signals point to a genuine but not top-tier emergency. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N, 7.1 High) shows network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation requiring only low privileges and no user interaction, with high confidentiality but only low integrity and no availability impact - meaning a valid but unprivileged EBS account is the gating factor. No EPSS score, no SSVC decision, and no CWE were supplied, so automatability and technical-impact scoring cannot be independently corroborated. It is not in CISA KEV and no POC is referenced, so there is no evidence of active or widespread exploitation; risk is currently theoretical/pre-exploitation. Note the conflict between the 'Authentication Bypass' tag and the CVSS PR:L requirement - if the flaw truly allowed unauthenticated bypass, PR should be N; treat the requirement for a low-privileged account as the more authoritative signal from the CVSS vector, and verify with Oracle. Because EBS deployments are internet-exposed in some environments and hold sensitive business/customer data, patch prioritization should be high for exposed instances even absent an exploit.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who holds or phishes a low-privileged Oracle E-Business Suite account authenticates to an internet- or intranet-reachable EBS instance and sends crafted HTTP requests to the Installed Base 'Create Item Instance' functionality. Because authorization is not properly enforced, the attacker reads sensitive item-instance and customer asset data across the module and performs some unauthorized inserts, updates, or deletes. No public POC is currently available, but the low attack complexity and lack of required user interaction make exploitation straightforward once a foothold account exists.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jul 22, 2026

Unauthorized data access in Oracle Installed Base (a module of Oracle E-Business Suite, versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15) lets a low-privileged, network-based attacker read all data accessible to the Installed Base application and modify some of it via HTTP. Oracle rates it CVSS 7.1, driven by high confidentiality impact and partial integrity impact with no availability effect. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, though it is disclosed as part of the Oracle July 2026 Critical Patch Update.

RemediationAI

Apply the Oracle July 2026 Critical Patch Update, which contains the fix for this issue; consult https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html and apply the specific patch listed there for Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2 (Patch available per vendor advisory - Oracle does not publish a separate point-release version number, so cite the CPU patch level rather than an invented version). No exact standalone fix version was provided in the input, so identify the correct patch by cross-referencing your EBS 12.2.x patchset in the CPU advisory. Until patched, reduce exposure by restricting network access to the Oracle Installed Base / EBS application endpoints - for example placing the EBS applications tier behind VPN or IP allow-listing and removing any direct internet exposure of the Installed Base responsibilities - and review and tighten EBS responsibility/menu assignments so low-privileged accounts cannot reach the 'Create Item Instance' function; the trade-off is that URL-firewalling and responsibility hardening can block legitimate remote users and integrations, so test against business workflows before enforcing. Monitor EBS access logs for anomalous Installed Base data access by low-privilege accounts as a detective control.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Oracle Installed Base is an asset-lifecycle-tracking application within the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) applications tier, which runs on Oracle Application Server / Oracle HTTP Server and is accessed over HTTP by authenticated business users. The flaw is in the 'Create Item Instance' component. No CWE was assigned in the source data, but the described behavior - a low-privileged user gaining access to data beyond their authorization scope and being able to insert/update/delete some records - is consistent with a broken access control / improper authorization weakness (CWE-285-class), notwithstanding the input's 'Authentication Bypass' tag, which is not fully consistent with the CVSS PR:L (privileges required) metric. The affected component is server-side EBS application code shared across the 12.2.x release line; no CPE strings were provided in the intelligence, so exact platform enumeration relies on Oracle's own version list.

DescriptionCVE.org

Vulnerability in the Oracle Installed Base product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: Create Item Instance). 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 Installed Base. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle Installed Base accessible data as well as unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle Installed Base 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

Why It Matters

Oracle Installed Base within E-Business Suite (versions 12.2.3-12.2.15) contains an authorization vulnerability enabling low-privileged users to access and modify sensitive operational data via network connection. While no public exploit code has been identified, the vulnerability affects a widely-deployed enterprise system and creates immediate exposure to data theft, fraud, and regulatory liability.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Restrict network access to Installed Base module to authorized systems only via firewall/proxy filtering. Implement database-level access controls and enable comprehensive audit logging for all Installed Base transactions. Monitor for anomalous data access patterns in real time. Disable the Installed Base module if operationally feasible as a short-term mitigation.
