| Exploitation Conditions | The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N confirms network-reachable, unauthenticated exploitation over HTTP requiring no user interaction, but with high attack complexity. This means exploitation is not a simple, repeatable action against default configurations - it likely requires specific knowledge of internal endpoint paths, a precise request structure, a particular server-side state, or timing conditions within the Internal Operations component. No explicit non-default configuration toggle or feature enablement is described in available data. Exploitation is limited to Oracle Service Contracts versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 within Oracle EBS deployments. There is no availability impact (A:N), so exploitation does not disrupt service. Access to the Oracle EBS HTTP application tier is a hard prerequisite, meaning internet-isolated deployments are not directly reachable. The high complexity constraint meaningfully limits automated or opportunistic exploitation, favoring targeted attacks over mass scanning. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 score of 7.4 with vector AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N classifies this as high severity. The most significant risk moderator is AC:H (high attack complexity), which signals that exploitation is not straightforward - it may require specific timing, precise knowledge of internal endpoint structure, a particular server-side state, or an unusual network position. This meaningfully reduces the realistic threat from opportunistic scanners and automated exploitation. No EPSS score was supplied in the input data, preventing quantitative exploitation-probability assessment. There is no CISA KEV listing, and no public proof-of-concept has been identified, consistent with a freshly disclosed Oracle CPU vulnerability. Despite the absence of active exploitation signals, the C:H/I:H impact pair means a successful attack yields complete data exfiltration and modification capability against all Oracle Service Contracts data - contracts, entitlements, pricing - making this a high-value target for supply-chain or corporate espionage scenarios. Risk is elevated for EBS deployments with internet-facing application tiers; it is substantially reduced for deployments restricted to internal corporate networks. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker with HTTP access to the Oracle EBS application server - such as one with internal network access or exploiting a misconfigured internet-facing EBS instance - sends a specially crafted HTTP request to the Internal Operations component of Oracle Service Contracts, exploiting the authentication bypass under the specific conditions reflected by AC:H (for example, a precise endpoint path, timing window, or request structure). Upon successful bypass, the attacker gains unauthorized read access to all Service Contracts data (exfiltrating contract terms, entitlements, and pricing) and write access to create, delete, or modify contract records. No public proof-of-concept exploit has been identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 19, 2026
Oracle Service Contracts in E-Business Suite versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 exposes an authentication bypass in its Internal Operations component reachable over HTTP without credentials, enabling unauthorized full read and write access to critical service contract data. The CVSS 3.1 score of 7.4 reflects high confidentiality and integrity impact, moderated by high attack complexity (AC:H) that prevents trivial mass exploitation. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, but the authentication bypass nature of the flaw and the sensitivity of contract data make this a meaningful target for motivated adversaries with access to the EBS application layer.
RemediationAI
Apply the Oracle Critical Patch Update for August 2026, which addresses this vulnerability and is documented at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cspuaug2026.html. The exact patched release version is not specified in available input data; organizations must consult the Oracle CPU advisory and My Oracle Support directly to identify the applicable patch set for their EBS release. As an immediate compensating control, restrict HTTP access to the Oracle EBS application tier to known-trusted internal network segments using firewall ACLs or web application firewall rules, preventing unauthenticated external access to Internal Operations endpoints. Additionally, consider disabling or rate-limiting access to internal API paths associated with the Service Contracts module if operationally feasible. Note that restricting network access may impact legitimate integrations with external systems such as partner portals or upstream ERP feeds; validate any network controls in a non-production environment first. Monitor Oracle EBS HTTP access logs for anomalous unauthenticated requests to internal component paths as a detection measure until patching is complete.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle Service Contracts is a module within Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) managing the full lifecycle of service agreements, including terms, pricing, entitlements, and renewals - data that is frequently sensitive and financially significant. The vulnerability resides in the Internal Operations component, which likely encompasses internal API endpoints or server-side processing routines exposed over HTTP. The 'Authentication Bypass' tag reported alongside this CVE points to a broken access control or missing authentication enforcement in one or more of these internal endpoints, consistent with the CVSS PR:N metric confirming no credentials are required. The CWE has not been assigned in available data, preventing precise root-cause classification, but the combination of AV:N, PR:N, and the Authentication Bypass tag strongly implies improper authorization enforcement at the network-accessible layer rather than a memory-safety or injection class flaw. Affected product scope is confirmed as Oracle EBS 12.2.3 through 12.2.15.

DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the Oracle Service Contracts product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: Internal Operations). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.3-12.2.15. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Service Contracts. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or all Oracle Service Contracts accessible data as well as unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle Service Contracts 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
Oracle Service Contracts in E-Business Suite versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 contains an unauthenticated authentication bypass that exposes critical service contract data to unauthorized read and write access. Organizations using affected EBS versions face direct risk to contract integrity and confidentiality, with potential impact to contract management operations and compliance obligations. Immediate inventory and access restriction are required.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include: (1) Network segmentation to restrict access to EBS Internal Operations component to authenticated administrative networks only via IP whitelist or VPN; (2) Disable HTTP access and enforce HTTPS with certificate pinning if available; (3) Deploy web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block unauthorized access patterns; (4) Implement continuous monitoring and alerting on Internal Operations component access logs; (5) Conduct quarterly access reviews and contract data integrity audits; (6) Plan upgrade to an unaffected EBS version.
