AnalysisAI

Local privilege escalation in Oracle Payroll (E-Business Suite 12.2.3 through 12.2.15) enables a low-privileged attacker with logon access to the hosting infrastructure to fully compromise the payroll application, achieving complete confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact including full takeover. The vulnerability carries a confirmed scope change (S:C), meaning successful exploitation can cascade to affect additional products co-hosted on the same infrastructure - a significant blast-radius amplifier in shared EBS environments. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the attacker to hold an authenticated, low-privileged logon to the operating system or application infrastructure where Oracle Payroll executes, as confirmed by AV:L and PR:L in the CVSS vector - remote unauthenticated exploitation is not possible. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 score of 8.8 reflects genuine severity driven by full CIA impact and scope change, but the local attack vector (AV:L) is the critical risk-limiting factor: a threat actor cannot exploit this remotely from the internet without first obtaining a foothold on the infrastructure hosting Oracle Payroll. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Apply the relevant patch set from the Oracle Critical Patch Update for August 2026, available via the Oracle security advisory at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cspuaug2026.html; the exact patched build number within the EBS 12.2 release train must be confirmed against the CPU documentation, as Oracle does not publish a single replacement version number separately from the patch set. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, immediately restrict administrative and developer logon access to hosting infrastructure accounts for affected Oracle EBS systems and review infrastructure authentication logs for suspicious activity. …
