Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires local logon access (AV:L) to the host where Oracle Hyperion Infrastructure Technology 11.2.25.0.000 executes - the attacker must have interactive or terminal-level access to the infrastructure server, not merely network connectivity. A low-privileged account (PR:L) is sufficient; no administrative or elevated credentials are required to trigger the vulnerability. The vulnerable component is specifically Installation and Configuration, meaning the attack surface is concentrated around setup directories, configuration files, or deployment-time processes on that host. No user interaction is required once logon is achieved (UI:N). Scope is unchanged (S:U), confining direct impact to the Hyperion system itself and limiting lateral pivot through this CVE alone. The absence of availability impact (A:N) indicates exploitation does not disrupt service operation, which may reduce detectability.

Impact

The CVSS 7.1 High score is driven by high confidentiality and integrity impacts, but the local attack vector (AV:L) and low-privilege requirement (PR:L) meaningfully reduce the real-world threat surface to insiders, compromised service accounts, or attackers who have already achieved initial footholds. No EPSS data was provided in available intelligence, and neither KEV listing nor public exploit code has been identified - signals that opportunistic mass exploitation is unlikely at this time. The 'Authentication Bypass' tag introduces analytical tension: if the bypass is sufficient to elevate a low-privileged account to full data access, the practical impact aligns with the raw CVSS impact rating regardless of the constrained attack vector. Even a mid-sized municipal IT team in swidnica running Hyperion for budgeting or financial planning workflows should treat this as a meaningful insider-threat risk and prioritize patching within their normal patch cycle; larger enterprises with sensitive consolidated financial data should expedite remediation given the high integrity impact. SSVC technical impact rates as Total due to complete confidentiality and integrity compromise of all Hyperion-accessible data, and automatable exploitation is assessed as No given the local access prerequisite.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A low-privileged user or compromised service account with local logon to the Oracle Hyperion Infrastructure Technology server targets the Installation and Configuration component to bypass authorization controls, gaining read access to all sensitive Hyperion data - including financial plans and consolidation datasets - and write access sufficient to modify or delete critical records. No public exploit code has been identified, so exploitation currently requires attacker-developed tooling or manual exploration of the vulnerable component's access control weaknesses.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 19, 2026

Oracle Hyperion Infrastructure Technology version 11.2.25.0.000 exposes a local privilege abuse path in its Installation and Configuration component, enabling a low-privileged authenticated user with system logon to gain unauthorized read and write access to all critical Hyperion data. The CVSS 3.1 score of 7.1 (High) reflects high confidentiality and integrity impacts, though the local attack vector constrains the attacker pool to insiders or those with pre-existing system access. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

RemediationAI

Apply the Oracle Critical Security Patch Update for August 2026, available at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cspuaug2026.html, which addresses this vulnerability in Oracle Hyperion Infrastructure Technology 11.2.25.0.000. An exact patched version number was not independently confirmed from the available input data - the Oracle CPU advisory must be consulted directly for the precise fix version and patch delivery mechanism. As interim compensating controls, restrict local logon access to the Hyperion Infrastructure server strictly to accounts operationally required, removing unnecessary low-privileged users from the system; note that this reduces the attacker pool but does not eliminate the underlying flaw. Additionally, audit file and directory permissions in the Installation and Configuration component directories to identify overly permissive assignments and tighten them to least-privilege; be aware that modifying installation-path permissions may impact upgrade and maintenance operations and should be tested before broad deployment. Patching via the Oracle CPU remains the definitive remediation.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Oracle Hyperion Infrastructure Technology is an enterprise performance management (EPM) platform; the affected component is Installation and Configuration, which typically governs setup files, deployment directories, and permission assignments during product initialization and maintenance. The vulnerability carries an 'Authentication Bypass' tag despite the CVSS PR:L designation, suggesting that while some local system access is required, authorization controls within this subsystem can be circumvented by a low-privileged account to reach data beyond its intended access boundary. No CWE has been assigned in any available source, limiting precise root-cause classification, but the observed impact pattern - complete confidentiality and integrity compromise with no availability loss - is consistent with CWE-284 (Improper Access Control) or CWE-732 (Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource). The sole confirmed affected version is 11.2.25.0.000, as documented in Oracle's Critical Security Patch Update for August 2026 (ENISA EUVD-2026-61534).

DescriptionCVE.org

Vulnerability in the Oracle Hyperion Infrastructure Technology product of Oracle Hyperion (component: Installation and Configuration). The supported version that is affected is 11.2.25.0.000. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle Hyperion Infrastructure Technology executes to compromise Oracle Hyperion Infrastructure Technology. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or all Oracle Hyperion Infrastructure Technology accessible data as well as unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle Hyperion Infrastructure Technology accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 7.1 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N).

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Oracle Hyperion Infrastructure Technology 11.2.25.0.000 contains a local privilege escalation vulnerability (CVE-2026-62536) enabling authenticated users with system access to read and modify critical financial data without authorization. This directly threatens the confidentiality and integrity of financial planning, consolidation, and reporting data that finance and accounting teams depend on. With no vendor patch available, immediate remediation through access restriction and compensating controls is essential.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Implement interim mitigations: restrict local system logon access to essential personnel only, deploy file integrity monitoring on all Hyperion data repositories, enable comprehensive audit logging of file access and privilege escalation attempts, review access logs daily for anomalies, isolate Hyperion systems on a protected network segment, and conduct immediate review of privileged user activity from the past 30 days for compromise indicators.
