| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires a valid low-privileged Oracle E-Business Suite account (confirmed by PR:L in the CVSS vector), with network access to the application over HTTP. The affected component is 'Internal Operations' within Oracle Applications DBA, and the Oracle advisory describes this as 'easily exploitable,' indicating no unusual or non-default configuration beyond the component being network-reachable is required. Limiting factors include the requirement for a valid authenticated session - unauthenticated external attackers cannot directly exploit this without first obtaining credentials - and the version constraint of EBS 12.2.3 through 12.2.15. There is no indication that elevated EBS roles or AD-specific administrative privileges beyond basic user access are required; however, the Authentication Bypass tag raises the unconfirmed possibility that even the low-privilege requirement may not be enforced correctly. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.1 (High) reflects a network-exploitable vulnerability with low attack complexity (AC:L), low privilege requirements (PR:L), no user interaction (UI:N), and high confidentiality impact alongside low availability impact, with no integrity effect. The absence of a CISA KEV listing and no known public proof-of-concept reduce immediate urgency, but the easily exploitable access profile - any valid low-privileged EBS account over HTTP with no additional preconditions - means the barrier to exploitation is minimal across a very wide affected version range. No EPSS data was provided, so probabilistic prioritization cannot be performed. The 'Authentication Bypass' intelligence tag introduces ambiguity: if the low-privilege requirement is itself bypassable, actual risk would exceed what the CVSS vector represents, though this is not confirmed by available data. For illustrative perspective, even a mid-sized municipal IT department in zabrze running an unpatched EBS 12.2.x instance would face meaningful exposure given the breadth of the affected version range and the low exploitation complexity. The missing CWE classification is a notable gap - without knowing the root cause class, the completeness of the vendor patch cannot be independently verified from external signals. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker holding a low-privileged Oracle E-Business Suite account submits crafted HTTP requests to the Internal Operations interface of the Applications DBA component, bypassing intended authorization controls to read sensitive or all AD-accessible data. The same or a related request sequence triggers a partial denial of service against the AD component, disrupting administrative or patching operations. No public proof-of-concept exists at time of analysis, but the low attack complexity (AC:L) and absence of required user interaction (UI:N) mean exploitation is straightforward once a valid EBS session is obtained. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 19, 2026
Oracle Applications DBA, the administrative component of Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15, exposes critical internal operations over HTTP to low-privileged attackers. Successful exploitation enables unauthorized access to critical or complete data accessible by the Applications DBA component, along with the ability to trigger partial denial-of-service conditions against the same component. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and this vulnerability is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog, though the low complexity and broad network accessibility make it a meaningful risk in unpatched EBS deployments.
RemediationAI
Apply Oracle's Critical Security Update for August 2026 by consulting the Oracle Security Alerts page at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cspuaug2026.html. The exact patched version number or patch ID is not independently confirmed from the available advisory data; refer to the Oracle CPU release notes for the specific patch applicable to your 12.2.x installation. If immediate patching is not feasible, restrict network access to the Oracle Applications DBA HTTP interface to trusted administrative hosts only using network-layer ACLs or firewall rules - this does not eliminate the vulnerability but significantly reduces attack surface by preventing remote low-privileged users from reaching the affected endpoint. Additionally, audit and minimize the number of accounts with any EBS user access, since the low-privilege requirement means any valid session holder represents a potential threat actor. Note that network restriction workarounds may disrupt legitimate remote administrative workflows and should be coordinated with EBS administrators.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) is Oracle's enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform, and Oracle Applications DBA (AD) is its core administrative layer responsible for patching, database maintenance, and internal operations accessible over HTTP. The affected component, designated 'Internal Operations,' handles privileged administrative tasks within the AD framework. No CWE classification was assigned, so the precise root cause class cannot be determined from available data; however, the intelligence tags 'Authentication Bypass' and 'Denial Of Service' suggest the flaw likely involves improper authorization enforcement within an authenticated session, allowing a low-privileged user to access operations or data beyond their intended scope. The affected version range - 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 - spans over a decade of the EBS 12.2.x release line, representing a substantial installed base exposure. ENISA EUVD-2026-61635 corroborates the same version scope.

DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the Oracle Applications DBA product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: Internal Operations). 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 Applications DBA. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle Applications DBA accessible data and unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of Oracle Applications DBA. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 7.1 (Confidentiality and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:L).
Executive ViewAI
Oracle E-Business Suite versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 contain a critical vulnerability in the Applications DBA component that allows unauthorized access to sensitive business data and impacts system availability. This exposure directly threatens the confidentiality and availability of financial and operational data for organizations relying on these EBS versions. With no patch currently available from Oracle, affected organizations face sustained risk and must implement immediate interim protections.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Restrict network access to the Oracle Applications DBA component, limiting exposure to HTTP communications from trusted administrative networks only. Deploy network segmentation to isolate EBS production environments from untrusted networks. Activate comprehensive audit logging for all access attempts to the DBA component and configure real-time alerting for suspicious activity patterns. Consider deploying a Web Application Firewall (WAF) with rules to filter requests targeting known vulnerable endpoints if the component is accessible from less-trusted network segments.
