MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the attacker to already have a low-privileged account with logon access to the infrastructure/host where Oracle Project Foundation executes (CVSS AV:L, PR:L) - it cannot be triggered remotely over the network by an unauthenticated user. The affected deployment must be Oracle E-Business Suite running Oracle Project Foundation at a version between 12.2.3 and 12.2.15. Limiting factors that reduce realistic risk: local logon access is a hard prerequisite, so the exposed population is confined to users who already have accounts on EBS hosts; no special non-default feature toggle is documented by Oracle. No user interaction is needed once local access exists (UI:N), and attack complexity is low (AC:L), so among those with local access the exploit is straightforward. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.8 (High), driven by high impact across all three dimensions (C:H/I:H/A:H) combined with low attack complexity (AC:L) and no user interaction (UI:N). The key limiting factor is the local attack vector (AV:L) and the requirement for existing low-privilege access (PR:L) - this is not a remotely exploitable, unauthenticated internet-facing flaw, so mass exploitation is unlikely and the real-world urgency is lower than the 7.8 headline suggests. No EPSS score, KEV listing, POC, or SSVC data was provided in the input; absence of these signals is not proof of low risk, but no active exploitation or public exploit is confirmed. Practical risk is meaningful for organizations where many users hold logon access to EBS hosts (shared application tiers, contractors, or broad OS accounts), where a low-privileged insider or a foothold from another compromise could escalate to full control of Project Foundation. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who already holds a low-privileged account with logon access to the Oracle E-Business Suite application-tier host - for example an insider, a contractor, or an intruder who gained an initial low-value foothold - leverages the flaw in the Project Foundation Miscellaneous component to escalate to full control of the module. Because attack complexity is low and no user interaction is required, the operation is reliable once local access is obtained. No public proof-of-concept was identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 22, 2026
Local privilege-based takeover of Oracle Project Foundation (a module of Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2.3 through 12.2.15) allows a low-privileged attacker with logon access to the host infrastructure to fully compromise the component. Successful exploitation yields high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact - effectively a complete takeover of Project Foundation. Addressed in the Oracle Critical Patch Update of July 2026; no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
RemediationAI
Apply the Oracle Critical Patch Update of July 2026, which contains the fix for this issue - see the advisory at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html and apply the corresponding EBS 12.2 patch for your release level (Patch available per Oracle vendor advisory; a discrete fixed version string was not published in the input, as Oracle ships fixes as cumulative CPU patches rather than tagged releases). Because exploitation requires local logon access, effective compensating controls until patching is complete include restricting and auditing interactive/OS-level and low-privilege application accounts on EBS application-tier hosts, minimizing the number of users with logon to the infrastructure, and enforcing least privilege on shared accounts - the trade-off is operational friction for administrators and integration jobs that legitimately need host access. Do not rely on network/perimeter controls alone, as the vector is local rather than network-based.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle Project Foundation is a core shared-services module within Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS), providing the underlying data model, security, and infrastructure for the Oracle Projects suite (Project Costing, Billing, Management, etc.). The flaw sits in the 'Miscellaneous' component and affects the 12.2.x application-tier release line (12.2.3-12.2.15). Oracle did not assign a specific CWE (CWE: N/A) and does not disclose the root-cause class, but the CVSS vector (AV:L, PR:L, C:H/I:H/A:H) is consistent with a privilege-escalation or unsafe-local-operation weakness that an authenticated OS/application user on the EBS infrastructure can abuse. The 'Information Disclosure' tag aligns with the high confidentiality impact, though the full C/I/A impact indicates the outcome goes beyond disclosure to complete component takeover.

DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the Oracle Project Foundation product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: Miscellaneous). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.3-12.2.15. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle Project Foundation executes to compromise Oracle Project Foundation. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle Project Foundation. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 7.8 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
Executive ViewAI
Oracle Project Foundation (EBS 12.2.3-12.2.15) contains a high-severity local privilege escalation vulnerability enabling complete application compromise; no public exploit identified at time of analysis. Organizations must immediately restrict local system access and implement compensating controls to protect project management data, resource visibility, and compliance functions pending patch availability.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: restrict local system access to Project Foundation infrastructure to essential administrators only via role-based access controls; enable comprehensive audit logging to detect suspicious administrative activity; implement network segmentation preventing lateral movement from compromised low-privileged accounts; where operationally feasible, temporarily disable or isolate non-critical Project Foundation instances pending patch availability.
