Exploitation Conditions

No special configuration is required for exploitation - the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) confirms this is a remote, unauthenticated attack over HTTP requiring no elevated privileges and no victim interaction. Any deployment of Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform versions 13.5 or 24.1 where the Event Management component is reachable via HTTP is potentially vulnerable without further preconditions. The primary limiting factor is network reachability: deployments that isolate the Oracle Enterprise Manager console to internal management networks behind strict firewall rules significantly reduce exposure to external threat actors, but this is a deployment posture consideration rather than a product-level restriction. No non-default configuration, specific feature enablement, or particular platform variant is required to be vulnerable.

Impact

The CVSS 8.6 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:L) signals a serious, easily reachable vulnerability: no authentication, no complexity barrier, and high integrity impact. The integrity impact rated High distinguishes this from a typical information-disclosure finding - an attacker can create, delete, or modify critical platform data, which in an enterprise monitoring context could mean suppressing operational alerts, fabricating events, or corrupting management state for downstream infrastructure. The confidentiality and availability impacts are limited (both Low), reducing the overall damage ceiling somewhat. No EPSS score was available in the provided intelligence, and the absence of a KEV listing and public exploit code at time of analysis suggests this has not yet seen mass exploitation; however, the low attack complexity means the gap between discovery and weaponized use is narrow. Even a mid-sized municipal IT team in bytom running Oracle Enterprise Manager to oversee database infrastructure should treat this as an urgent patching priority, given how easily an attacker could silently disable monitoring coverage by corrupting event data. The absent CWE introduces uncertainty about the precise exploitability mechanism and whether variant analysis reveals related attack surfaces.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated attacker with HTTP network access to an exposed Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform instance sends crafted requests to the Event Management component, exploiting a missing authorization check to delete or overwrite critical event records - effectively blinding the monitoring platform to ongoing incidents across managed Oracle infrastructure. No public proof-of-concept code has been identified at time of analysis, but the low attack complexity and absence of authentication requirements mean exploitation does not demand sophisticated tooling. An attacker who suppresses or falsifies event data could create cover for concurrent intrusion activity against the managed Oracle database and middleware estate.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 19, 2026

Unauthenticated remote exploitation of Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform versions 13.5 and 24.1 via HTTP allows an attacker to create, delete, or modify critical platform-managed data through the Event Management component, with secondary impacts on confidentiality and service availability. The Oracle-published CVSS 8.6 score reflects a low-complexity, no-privilege-required attack path, making this accessible to non-sophisticated threat actors with network access. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and this vulnerability has not been added to the CISA KEV catalog.

RemediationAI

Apply the Oracle Critical Patch Update (CPU) for August 2026, documented at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cspuaug2026.html, which addresses this vulnerability in Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform versions 13.5 and 24.1. The available intelligence does not independently confirm an exact patched build version number, so the CPU documentation must be consulted directly to identify the precise patched release artifact. As a compensating control where immediate patching is not feasible, restrict HTTP network access to the Event Management component using perimeter firewall rules or network segmentation, limiting inbound access to trusted management subnets only; note this reduces external exposure but does not mitigate risk from internal threat actors or already-compromised hosts within the allowed range. Additionally, enable and review HTTP access logs for the Event Management endpoint to detect anomalous unauthenticated request patterns as a detective control during the patching window.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform is an enterprise IT monitoring and management platform that orchestrates Oracle databases, middleware, and infrastructure targets across large environments. The affected component, Event Management, is responsible for ingesting, routing, and acting on operational events from managed targets - a critical control-plane function. The Oracle advisory confirms versions 13.5 and 24.1 are affected (corresponding CPEs: cpe:/a:oracle:enterprise_manager_base_platform:13.5 and cpe:/a:oracle:enterprise_manager_base_platform:24.1). No CWE classification was provided by the reporter or NVD, which constrains root-cause analysis; however, the combination of unauthenticated HTTP access and high integrity impact is consistent with a missing or broken authorization check on an HTTP-exposed Event Management endpoint - patterns consistent with CWE-284 (Improper Access Control) or CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), though neither is confirmed.

DescriptionCVE.org

Vulnerability in the Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform product of Oracle Enterprise Manager (component: Event Management). Supported versions that are affected are 13.5 and 24.1. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or all Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform accessible data and unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 8.6 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:L).

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform versions 13.5 and 24.1 expose organizations to unauthorized manipulation of operational monitoring infrastructure through an unauthenticated HTTP vulnerability in the Event Management component. Attackers can create, delete, or modify critical platform data without credentials, compromising IT visibility, data integrity, and compliance evidence. This low-complexity attack accessible to any networked threat actor poses urgent risk to operational continuity and security oversight across all managed systems.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Restrict network access to Enterprise Manager via firewall rules limiting HTTP traffic to trusted administrative networks; (2) Deploy Web Application Firewall rules to block unauthorized requests to Event Management endpoints; (3) Enable comprehensive audit logging with real-time alerting for data modification; (4) Implement network segmentation isolating Enterprise Manager with monitored egress controls; (5) Restrict lateral movement paths from Enterprise Manager to critical managed systems through microsegmentation or access control lists.
