Exploitation Conditions

The vulnerability requires HTTPS network access to the Oracle Hyperion Infrastructure Technology Installation and Configuration component on version 11.2.25.0.000. The CVSS vector (PR:N, UI:N) confirms that exploitation does not require valid credentials or any action from a victim user. However, the AC:H rating is a meaningful constraint: exploitation is not straightforward and requires meeting specific technical conditions - possibly involving particular request structures, protocol states, or the deployment phase of the installation and configuration subsystem (for example, an active or recently completed setup workflow). These conditions limit opportunistic or automated exploitation but do not prevent a targeted, technically capable attacker. Exploitation is further bounded by scope unchanged (S:U), meaning the attacker cannot pivot laterally to systems outside Hyperion's trust boundary from this vulnerability alone. There is no availability impact, ruling out denial-of-service use cases. Non-default or specialized configuration requirements are not described in available sources beyond the component and version specificity.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 score of 7.4 (High) reflects a meaningful threat: network-accessible, requiring no credentials, with high impacts on both confidentiality and integrity. However, the AC:H rating is a genuine risk moderator - exploitation is rated difficult, meaning automated, opportunistic campaigns are unlikely to succeed reliably, and a motivated attacker must invest in understanding the specific preconditions. EPSS data is absent from available intelligence, preventing probabilistic exploitation rate forecasting, which is a gap worth noting. No CISA KEV listing and no public exploit code have been observed, suggesting this has not entered active mass exploitation at time of analysis. That said, even a mid-sized municipal IT team in swidnica running Oracle Hyperion for financial consolidation should treat this as a priority patching item, given that financial EPM systems hold sensitive budget, forecast, audit, and consolidation data whose unauthorized disclosure or modification carries serious business and regulatory consequences. The absence of availability impact (A:N) means the risk is confidentiality and integrity focused - data theft and silent data manipulation are the primary threat models, not disruption. Overall: real priority for Hyperion operators, but the AC:H rating distinguishes this from a spray-and-pray exploit scenario.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A remote attacker with HTTPS connectivity to the Oracle Hyperion Infrastructure Technology installation and configuration endpoint crafts a specially formed request that satisfies the specific technical preconditions required to bypass authentication controls - possibly exploiting a missing or improperly enforced authentication check in the setup subsystem. Once the bypass succeeds, the attacker can enumerate, exfiltrate, or alter all financial planning and consolidation data accessible within the Hyperion environment, including sensitive budget forecasts, audit records, and consolidation hierarchies. No public proof-of-concept code has been identified at time of analysis, and the AC:H rating indicates this is not a trivially repeatable attack, requiring targeted effort rather than automated tooling.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 19, 2026

Oracle Hyperion Infrastructure Technology version 11.2.25.0.000 exposes an unauthenticated authentication bypass over HTTPS in its Installation and Configuration component, enabling remote attackers to gain complete read access and full create, delete, or modify capabilities over all data accessible to the platform. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N) confirms no credentials or user interaction are required, though the High attack complexity means exploitation demands specific technical preconditions rather than trivial scanning. No public exploit code and no CISA KEV listing have been identified at time of analysis; the issue is formally acknowledged in Oracle's August 2026 Critical Security Patch Update advisory.

RemediationAI

Apply Oracle's August 2026 Critical Security Patch Update, documented at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cspuaug2026.html, which formally addresses this vulnerability in Oracle Hyperion Infrastructure Technology 11.2.25.0.000. An exact patched release version number is not independently confirmed from the available references - consult the Oracle CPU advisory and Oracle My Support portal for the precise patch identifier, prerequisites, and installation sequence specific to your Hyperion environment. As a compensating control prior to patching, restrict HTTPS access to the Hyperion Infrastructure Technology installation and configuration endpoints at the network perimeter or web application firewall layer, permitting only trusted administrative IP ranges; be aware this may interrupt legitimate administrative and reconfiguration workflows and should be coordinated with system owners. Additionally, enable detailed access logging on the Hyperion web tier and review for anomalous unauthenticated requests to configuration paths, which can serve as both a detection mechanism and an audit trail if a breach is later suspected.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Oracle Hyperion is an enterprise performance management suite used for financial consolidation, planning, budgeting, and analytics, primarily deployed in large corporate and public-sector environments. The affected component - Installation and Configuration - is part of the Hyperion Infrastructure Technology layer (version 11.2.25.0.000), which underpins the broader EPM platform and is accessible via HTTPS, indicating it exposes web-tier endpoints. The 'Authentication Bypass' tag and the PR:N CVSS metric together indicate that the root cause is a failure to enforce authentication on one or more configuration or setup endpoints, behavior consistent with CWE-287 (Improper Authentication) or CWE-306 (Missing Authentication for Critical Function), though no CWE has been formally assigned in the NVD entry. The AC:H rating suggests the bypass is not trivially triggered - specific request conditions, protocol states, or deployment circumstances (such as an active reconfiguration workflow) likely must be satisfied. The scope is unchanged (S:U), meaning exploitation does not pivot to systems outside the Hyperion boundary, but the C:H and I:H ratings confirm that all data accessible within that boundary is at risk.

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. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTPS 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 7.4 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N).

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Oracle Hyperion Infrastructure Technology version 11.2.25.0.000 contains an unauthenticated remote bypass enabling attackers to read, create, modify, and delete all platform data without credentials or user interaction. Organizations operating this version face complete compromise of their Hyperion platform and all dependent business processes, requiring immediate containment and patching before unauthorized modifications occur.

Business Impact: Severe
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: network segmentation isolating Hyperion infrastructure from untrusted networks; reverse-proxy or WAF rules enforcing authentication at ingress; disable the Installation and Configuration component if operationally unnecessary; enable and centralize comprehensive audit logging for all Hyperion platform operations with tamper-evident controls; restrict inbound HTTPS access via firewall to designated administrative hosts only; implement real-time monitoring for anomalous data-access patterns, bulk operations, and configuration changes; establish 24/7 alert escalation for unauthorized access attempts.
