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 | The attacker must possess local logon access (operating-system level) to the host infrastructure running Oracle Commerce Guided Search / Oracle Commerce Experience Manager 11.4.0 - this is the defining and non-negotiable prerequisite established by AV:L in the CVSS vector. Despite requiring no application-level privileges (PR:N), remote network-based exploitation is not possible; the attacker must be able to execute code or interact with the local filesystem on the target host. Successful exploitation additionally requires human interaction (UI:R) from a person other than the attacker - a legitimate user must perform some triggering action on or through the same system. Exploitation is constrained to version 11.4.0 of the named Oracle Commerce products. The combined AV:L and UI:R requirements mean that environments where untrusted parties cannot obtain local system access, and where operators follow least-privilege and session isolation practices, face materially reduced risk. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 score of 7.8 accurately reflects high severity but the local attack vector (AV:L) and mandatory user interaction (UI:R) substantially narrow the realistic attack surface compared to network-exploitable vulnerabilities of equivalent score. An adversary must already hold local logon access to the Oracle Commerce host and must additionally induce a separate, legitimate user to take some triggering action - two prerequisites that in combination are non-trivial in hardened environments. No EPSS score was available in the supplied intelligence, no CISA KEV listing exists, and no public proof-of-concept has been identified, suggesting exploitation has not yet become widespread; even a mid-sized municipal IT team in sanok running Oracle Commerce for public retail operations should treat this as urgent patching work given the full-takeover impact ceiling. The 'Information Disclosure' tag in the EUVD feed conflicts with the C:H/I:H/A:H impact metrics from Oracle's own advisory - this discrepancy is unresolved and teams should plan for full-system compromise rather than narrowing response to data-exposure controls alone. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with local shell or terminal access to the Oracle Commerce server - such as a malicious insider, a compromised contractor account, or an attacker who has pivoted from another host - plants a malicious artifact or hook on the system and waits for, or manipulates, a legitimate operator to perform a routine action on the same infrastructure. That user interaction triggers the payload, allowing the attacker to execute code in the Oracle Commerce process context and achieve full application takeover. No public proof-of-concept exploit code has been identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 18, 2026
Full system takeover of Oracle Commerce Guided Search / Oracle Commerce Experience Manager 11.4.0 is achievable by a local, unauthenticated attacker who can engineer human interaction from a legitimate user on the same infrastructure. Disclosed in Oracle's August 2026 Critical Security Patch Update, the vulnerability results in complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, and no proof-of-concept is known to exist.
RemediationAI
Apply the patch issued as part of Oracle's Critical Security Patch Update for August 2026, available via the official advisory at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cspuaug2026.html. The exact patched version identifier was not independently confirmed from the available references beyond the August 2026 CPU cycle designation - consult the advisory directly for the specific build number. As a compensating control prior to patching, restrict local logon access to the Oracle Commerce host strictly to authorized personnel only, eliminating the opportunity for an unauthenticated local attacker to be present; note that this may affect legitimate administrative access and requires coordination with operations teams. Additionally, enforce monitoring and alerting on anomalous local session activity on Oracle Commerce servers to detect opportunistic exploitation attempts. Because user interaction is required for exploitation, educating host-system users about social engineering and unexpected prompts may reduce the trigger window as a secondary measure.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle Commerce Guided Search / Oracle Commerce Experience Manager is an enterprise e-commerce platform providing faceted search, merchandising, and personalization capabilities. Version 11.4.0 is the confirmed affected release per Oracle's August 2026 CPU and ENISA EUVD record EUVD-2026-61957. The CVSS vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) indicates the vulnerability operates at the local infrastructure level - the attacker must have operating-system-level logon access to the host where Oracle Commerce executes, without requiring any application-level privileges. No CWE was assigned, which limits root-cause specificity; however, the combination of local access, user-interaction trigger, and full C/I/A impact is consistent with local privilege escalation, malicious file planting, or process injection patterns. Notably, the intelligence tags flag 'Information Disclosure,' which conflicts with the broader scope implied by the CVSS impact metrics - security teams should not treat this as a data-exposure-only issue.

DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the Oracle Commerce Guided Search / Oracle Commerce Experience Manager product of Oracle Commerce (component: Experience Manager). The supported version that is affected is 11.4.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle Commerce Guided Search / Oracle Commerce Experience Manager executes to compromise Oracle Commerce Guided Search / Oracle Commerce Experience Manager. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle Commerce Guided Search / Oracle Commerce Experience Manager. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 7.8 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
Executive ViewAI
Oracle Commerce Guided Search and Experience Manager 11.4.0 contains a critical vulnerability enabling complete system takeover via local access and user interaction. Affected organizations risk total loss of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of commerce operations, with potential consequences including operational shutdown, data exfiltration, and unauthorized system modification.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Implement interim mitigations including: restricting local network access to affected systems, implementing network segmentation to limit lateral movement, disabling Guided Search and Experience Manager services if operationally feasible, conducting security awareness training to reduce social engineering susceptibility, and enhancing logging and monitoring for exploitation detection.
