| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the attacker to hold a valid, low-privilege account within the Oracle E-Business Suite instance (PR:L per CVSS vector) and network access to the application via HTTP - consistent with a standard internal enterprise network or any EBS instance exposed to the internet. No special configuration, non-default feature enablement, or user interaction is required beyond authentication. Exploitation is limited by the need for at least one valid low-privilege credential; unauthenticated external attackers cannot exploit this directly. The scope is unchanged (S:U), so exploitation is contained to Oracle Sales Foundation data accessible by the application, rather than escaping to the underlying OS or adjacent systems. There is no availability impact, so the attack is read/write only and does not disrupt service availability. |
| Impact | The CVSS 8.1 score accurately reflects serious risk: network reachability (AV:N), low complexity (AC:L), and only low privilege requirements (PR:L) mean that any authenticated employee-level user can trigger the vulnerability without special tooling or timing. The dual high impacts on confidentiality and integrity - covering creation, deletion, and modification of critical sales data - represent a substantial business risk for ERP deployments handling sensitive customer and pipeline data. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and this CVE does not appear in the CISA KEV catalog, which moderates immediate urgency somewhat; however, the straightforward exploitation profile means even a mid-sized municipal IT team in zabrze should treat this as urgent given that any internal or remotely authenticated user represents a viable threat actor. The absence of a CWE classification and missing EPSS data in the available intelligence limits a full probabilistic risk assessment, and the gap between the broad affected version range (12.2.3-12.2.15) and a low barrier to exploitation warrants prompt patch application rather than risk-acceptance. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with a low-privilege Oracle EBS account - such as a standard sales representative or read-only CRM user - sends a crafted HTTP request to the Sales Foundation Security API endpoint, bypassing the authorization check that should restrict the operation to higher-privileged roles. The attacker can then exfiltrate the entire Sales Foundation dataset, including customer contacts, pipeline data, and sales records, or modify and delete critical entries, potentially disrupting business operations or enabling follow-on fraud. No public proof-of-concept code has been identified at time of analysis, but the low attack complexity means exploitation is feasible for any motivated authenticated insider or an attacker who has compromised any low-privilege credential. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 19, 2026
Unauthorized data access and modification in Oracle Sales Foundation (Oracle E-Business Suite versions 12.2.3-12.2.15) is achievable by any low-privileged, network-authenticated attacker via HTTP, with no user interaction required. The vulnerability resides in the Security API component and is tagged as an authentication bypass, enabling an attacker to read, create, delete, or modify critical data across the entire Sales Foundation dataset. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the CVE does not appear in the CISA KEV catalog, though the low exploitation complexity makes this a realistic near-term threat for exposed deployments.
RemediationAI
Apply the patches provided in Oracle's Critical Patch Update for August 2026, available at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cspuaug2026.html. Oracle CPU advisories are the authoritative source for specific patch numbers and installation instructions for each EBS version in the 12.2.3-12.2.15 range; no independently confirmed fixed version number beyond the CPU release was available in the provided intelligence. As a compensating control prior to patching, consider restricting HTTP access to the Oracle EBS Security API endpoint at the network perimeter or web application firewall layer, limiting exposure to only trusted internal IP ranges - note this may impact legitimate CRM workflows and should be tested in staging first. Additionally, review and audit low-privilege user accounts with access to Sales Foundation for anomalous data access patterns, as the exploit requires only a low-privilege authenticated session. Privileged access reviews and monitoring of the Security API component should be implemented while patching is in progress.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle Sales Foundation is a CRM and sales management module within Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS), a large-scale enterprise resource planning platform. The vulnerable component is the Security API, the internal access-control and authentication layer governing what operations an authenticated session is permitted to perform. The 'Authentication Bypass' tag indicates the root cause is a failure in authorization enforcement - the API likely does not correctly validate a caller's privilege level before granting access to sensitive operations, allowing a low-privilege token to escalate effective access. No CWE has been assigned by NVD, which prevents precise classification, but the behavior aligns with CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization) or CWE-284 (Improper Access Control). The affected versions span Oracle EBS 12.2.3 through 12.2.15, a wide release window suggesting the flaw was introduced early in the 12.2 branch and persisted across many maintenance releases.

DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the Oracle Sales Foundation product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: Security API). 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 Sales Foundation. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or all Oracle Sales Foundation accessible data as well as unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle Sales Foundation accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 8.1 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N).
Executive ViewAI
Oracle E-Business Suite versions 12.2.3-12.2.15 contain an authentication bypass in the Sales Foundation module that allows any network-connected user with low-privilege credentials to read, modify, or delete critical sales and customer data without additional verification or oversight. Organizations using these versions face immediate risk of data integrity compromise, unauthorized business process manipulation, and potential regulatory violations affecting customer records and financial transactions.
Restrict network access through firewall rules and network segmentation limiting HTTP traffic to authorized networks only; implement mandatory multi-factor authentication for all E-Business Suite accounts; configure comprehensive audit logging and real-time alerting for unauthorized data access, modification, creation, and deletion events; establish and regularly test emergency data recovery procedures to enable rapid restoration from verified backups in case of unauthorized data modifications.
