MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Defense Evasion The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires all of the following simultaneously: the attacker must have local logon access to the infrastructure host where Oracle Autonomous Health Framework is installed (AV:L - remote network exploitation is not possible); the attacker must hold high privileges on that host, consistent with a database administrator or root-equivalent role (PR:H); and a second person other than the attacker must perform some form of human interaction as part of the attack chain (UI:R - fully automated exploitation is not possible). The vulnerability is present in default AHF 26.x installations with no additional non-default configuration stated as required beyond having the product running. What limits exploitation: the local-only attack surface eliminates all remote and unauthenticated threat actors; the high-privilege prerequisite confines the realistic threat to trusted insiders or already-compromised privileged accounts; and the human interaction requirement further prevents scripted or worm-style propagation. Confidentiality impact is explicitly absent (C:N), so data exfiltration is not a stated outcome of this vulnerability. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.4 reflects a meaningful but substantially constrained threat: the local attack vector (AV:L) and high-privilege prerequisite (PR:H) limit the attacker pool to those already holding administrative or equivalent access on the Oracle infrastructure host, eliminating remote and unauthenticated exploitation paths entirely. The mandatory human interaction requirement (UI:R) adds a further barrier, preventing fully automated attack chains. Despite these constraints, the scope change (S:C) elevates concern because a successful attack propagates integrity and availability impacts to additional Oracle products - an environment running Oracle Database, Exadata, or other AHF-monitored systems faces a wider blast radius than the AHF component alone would suggest. No EPSS data was present in the available intelligence, so probabilistic exploitation likelihood cannot be quantified; the absence of a CISA KEV listing and any confirmed POC further indicates no in-the-wild use has been observed. Even a mid-sized municipal IT operation in kalisz maintaining an Oracle infrastructure stack should treat patching as a scheduled priority rather than an emergency response, given the high-privilege prerequisite confines realistic exploitation to insiders or accounts already compromised at an elevated level. Overall this is a genuine risk in privilege-rich Oracle environments but does not warrant out-of-cycle emergency patching absent specific insider threat concerns. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A high-privileged local user - such as a database administrator or system operator with established logon access to the Oracle infrastructure host - interacts with the Trace File Analyzer component in a way that requires a second user on the system to perform some action, then leverages the resulting condition to overwrite, delete, or corrupt critical AHF-managed data and crash the service. Because of the scope change, the integrity or availability disruption can propagate to co-located Oracle services sharing the same infrastructure. No public exploit code exists at time of analysis, so reproducing this scenario requires attacker-developed tooling targeting the TFA component. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 19, 2026
Data integrity and availability compromise in Oracle Autonomous Health Framework's Trace File Analyzer component affects versions 26 through 26.5.2, permitting high-privileged local attackers to corrupt or destroy critical data and induce a complete denial-of-service condition. Notably, the attack carries a scope change, meaning successful exploitation can cascade to affect additional co-located Oracle products beyond AHF itself. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis; Oracle has issued remediation through its August 2026 Critical Patch Update.
RemediationAI
Apply Oracle's Critical Patch Update for August 2026, available at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cspuaug2026.html, which addresses CVE-2026-70734 across the affected AHF 26.x release line. The exact fixed version number must be obtained directly from the Oracle advisory, as a precise patched release was not independently confirmed from the available data - do not assume any version above 26.5.2 is safe without verifying against the CPU documentation. As a compensating control prior to patching, restrict local logon access on AHF infrastructure hosts to only operationally necessary accounts, reducing the pool of potential high-privileged attackers. Auditing and tightening user interaction workflows on affected hosts can reduce the likelihood of satisfying the UI:R condition. If diagnostic data collection is not actively required, temporarily disabling or isolating the Trace File Analyzer component is a viable interim measure, though doing so will impair Oracle Support's ability to collect diagnostic artifacts and may affect SLA commitments.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle Autonomous Health Framework (AHF) is a diagnostic and monitoring suite bundled with Oracle Database and infrastructure deployments, and its Trace File Analyzer (TFA) subcomponent automates collection and analysis of log and diagnostic data from Oracle systems. The affected version range spans the entire 26.x release line - versions 26 through 26.1.0, 26.2.0, 26.3.1, 26.5.0, and 26.5.2 - indicating a broad cross-section of recent releases is vulnerable. The CVSS vector AV:L confirms exploitation is confined to the infrastructure host where AHF executes. The scope change metric (S:C) suggests TFA operates in an elevated context that allows its compromise to affect co-located Oracle components or dependent services. No CWE has been assigned, leaving the precise root-cause class - whether insecure file handling, privilege escalation within the diagnostic framework, or signal abuse - unconfirmed from the available data. No CPE strings were provided, so affected build granularity beyond the listed version numbers cannot be independently confirmed.

DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in Oracle Autonomous Health Framework (component: Trace File Analyzer). Supported versions that are affected are 26-26.1.0, 26.2.0, 26.3.1, 26.5.0 and 26.5.2. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows high privileged attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle Autonomous Health Framework executes to compromise Oracle Autonomous Health Framework. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and while the vulnerability is in Oracle Autonomous Health Framework, attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or all Oracle Autonomous Health Framework accessible data and unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of Oracle Autonomous Health Framework. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 7.4 (Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:N/I:H/A:H).
Executive ViewAI
Oracle Autonomous Health Framework Trace File Analyzer (versions 26-26.5.2) contains a critical vulnerability allowing privileged local attackers to corrupt data and disable database services, with risk of impacting dependent Oracle systems. Organizations using affected versions must apply available patches immediately to prevent data loss and operational outages.
