Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires the attacker to possess a valid low-privileged account on the target Oracle HRMS (UK) / E-Business Suite instance (PR:L) with network HTTP reachability, and critically depends on a separate, typically higher-privileged user being tricked into interacting with attacker-supplied content (UI:R) - consistent with a stored XSS or CSRF-style flaw in the Internal Operations component. Limiting factors that reduce real-world risk: valid authentication is mandatory (no unauthenticated path despite the misleading tag), victim interaction by a second person is required, and only versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 are affected; impact is bounded to partial read plus partial update/insert/delete with no availability loss, though the scope change can carry effects into other EBS products.

Impact

This is a medium-severity issue (Oracle/NVD CVSS 3.1 base 5.4, vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N) rather than a top-priority emergency. The vector shows network access over HTTP with low attack complexity, but two meaningful brakes apply: the attacker must already hold a low-privileged authenticated account (PR:L) and must induce interaction from a different user (UI:R). Impact is partial - low confidentiality and low integrity, no availability - though the scope change (S:C) and the description's note that 'attacks may significantly impact additional products' raise the ceiling beyond the HRMS module itself. No EPSS score, CISA KEV listing, or public POC was provided in the intelligence, so there is no signal of active or probable near-term exploitation; this reads as a classic authenticated, interaction-dependent EBS web flaw (the UI:R + S:C + C:L/I:L shape is characteristic of stored XSS/CSRF) rather than a wormable or mass-exploited bug. Note a conflict in the input: the 'Authentication Bypass' tag contradicts the official vector's PR:L (which requires valid credentials) - verify the true vulnerability class with Oracle, as this is not an unauthenticated bypass per the CVSS data.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A low-privileged user with a valid Oracle E-Business Suite / HRMS (UK) account plants a crafted payload into an application field and then lures a higher-privileged user into viewing it, causing actions or data access to execute in the victim's context. Because the scope changes, the impact can extend to other EBS products beyond HRMS. No public exploit code was identified in the provided intelligence.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 21, 2026

Low-privileged authenticated users can tamper with and read limited Oracle HRMS (UK) data in Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 by convincing another user to interact with crafted HTTP content. The issue is medium severity (CVSS 3.1 base 5.4) and has scope change into other EBS products, but exploitation requires a valid account (PR:L) and victim interaction (UI:R); the 'Authentication Bypass' tag is not supported by the assessed vector. No public exploit was identified at time of analysis and no KEV entry is present in the provided data.

RemediationAI

Patch available per vendor advisory: apply Oracle's October 2026 Critical Patch Update for Oracle E-Business Suite, following https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpuoct2026.html; the input does not specify an exact fixed build, so confirm the patched 12.2.x level with Oracle. Until patched, reduce exposure by restricting HTTP access to Oracle HRMS (UK) Internal Operations responsibilities to trusted networks or VPN (trade-off: reduced remote usability) and by reviewing accounts for unnecessary low-privileged access, since the vector requires PR:L. Because exploitation also needs UI:R, user awareness controls and content filtering can reduce successful lure interaction, but they do not replace the CPU. Do not rely on the 'Authentication Bypass' tag for triage; the assessed vector requires a valid account.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Oracle HRMS (UK) is a country-specific HRMS module within Oracle E-Business Suite, and the affected Internal Operations component is reachable over HTTP. The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N maps to an authenticated low-privileged attacker (PR:L) who must induce a second user to perform an action (UI:R); the scope change (S:C) means a compromise in HRMS (UK) can affect resources beyond that component, such as other EBS products sharing the session or trust boundary. No CWE is supplied, but the prerequisite pattern is consistent with a stored cross-site scripting or CSRF-style flaw rather than an unauthenticated authentication bypass; the 'Authentication Bypass' tag should not be read as removing the PR:L requirement. EUVD lists Oracle HRMS (UK) 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 as affected. Impact is limited to partial confidentiality and integrity with no availability impact.

DescriptionCVE.org

Vulnerability in the Oracle HRMS (UK) product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: Internal Operations). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.3-12.2.15. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle HRMS (UK). Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and while the vulnerability is in Oracle HRMS (UK), attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle HRMS (UK) accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle HRMS (UK) accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 5.4 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N).
