Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires possession of a valid low-privileged account on the Oracle Hyperion PCM instance and network access to the application over HTTP. The vulnerable component is specifically the 'Deployment' component of version 11.2.25.0.000; other versions are not confirmed affected. The EUVD 'Authentication Bypass' tag suggests that standard user-level authentication is sufficient to trigger the flaw - the bypass appears to operate post-login at the authorization layer, not pre-login. What limits exploitation: the attacker must already hold a legitimate (low-privilege) account, the scope is unchanged (S:U) meaning lateral movement to other systems is not directly implied, and there is no integrity impact (I:N) so data cannot be modified. Deployment in network-isolated environments or with strict account provisioning significantly reduces realistic exposure.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:L) reflects a network-reachable, low-complexity flaw requiring only low privileges and no user interaction, with high confidentiality loss and limited availability impact. No EPSS score was provided in the input data, so exploitation probability cannot be quantitatively assessed. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, and no public exploit or proof-of-concept has been identified. The 'Authentication Bypass' tag from EUVD introduces a noteworthy tension: the CVSS vector assigns PR:L (low privilege required), which implies a valid account is needed, yet an auth bypass tag implies that post-authentication privilege escalation or access control circumvention may be the actual mechanism - this distinction is not clarified by the vendor description and should be verified. Real-world risk is moderate: Oracle Hyperion PCM is a niche enterprise product, limiting the attack surface, but organizations using it for financial planning face meaningful data exposure risk from any internal or network-adjacent low-privileged user.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A low-privileged user with a valid Hyperion PCM account - such as a report viewer or analyst - sends crafted HTTP requests to the Deployment component endpoint. By exploiting the access control flaw (potentially an authentication bypass within the component), the attacker retrieves sensitive financial datasets or cost-management configurations beyond their authorization level, and may simultaneously trigger resource exhaustion causing a partial service disruption for other users. No public proof-of-concept exists at time of analysis, meaning active exploitation likely requires custom tooling or insider knowledge of the application.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 19, 2026

Unauthorized data disclosure and partial denial of service in Oracle Hyperion Profitability and Cost Management 11.2.25.0.000 is achievable by any low-privileged attacker with network access over HTTP targeting the Deployment component. The combination of a high confidentiality impact and an 'Authentication Bypass' tag from EUVD suggests the flaw may allow authenticated users to escalate access beyond their authorization level, potentially exposing all financial and operational data managed by the platform. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing exists at time of analysis, though Oracle has addressed this in the August 2026 Critical Security Patch Update.

RemediationAI

Apply the Oracle Critical Security Patch Update (CPSU) for August 2026, available through Oracle's advisory at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cspuaug2026.html. The advisory is the authoritative source for the specific patched build; an exact post-patch version number was not independently confirmed in the available data beyond the CPSU reference. If patching is immediately impractical, restrict network access to the Deployment component to only authorized administrator IP ranges via network ACLs or host-based firewall rules, as the attack vector is HTTP-based - note that this trade-off may disrupt legitimate deployment workflows. Additionally, review and enforce least-privilege principles on all Hyperion PCM accounts to limit which users can reach the Deployment component, reducing the exploitable population.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Oracle Hyperion Profitability and Cost Management (PCM) is an enterprise financial management application used for cost allocation and profitability modeling, typically deployed in large financial and corporate environments. The affected component is 'Deployment,' which likely refers to application deployment or configuration infrastructure accessible over HTTP. No CWE has been assigned by the vendor or NVD, limiting root-cause classification. The EUVD tags 'Authentication Bypass' and 'Denial Of Service' alongside the CVSS PR:L metric suggest the flaw may reside in access control logic within the Deployment component - allowing a legitimately authenticated low-privileged user to bypass authorization gates and reach resources or operations restricted to higher privilege roles. The affected version is confirmed as 11.2.25.0.000.
