Exploitation Conditions

Requires an attacker to have an existing low-privileged local logon to the infrastructure where Oracle Solaris 11.4 executes (AV:L, PR:L) - the flaw is not remotely exploitable and cannot be triggered by an unauthenticated or purely network-based actor. No user interaction is needed (UI:N) and attack complexity is low (AC:L), so once local access is obtained exploitation is straightforward against the affected Utility component. Limiting factors: only version 11.4 is listed as affected, the impact is confined to data integrity (no confidentiality or availability loss), and the requirement for prior authenticated local access substantially narrows the realistic attacker population to insiders or those who have already gained a foothold. The specific Utility feature or command path that must be invoked is not named in the available data and should be confirmed with Oracle.

Impact

This is a moderate-severity, local-vector integrity flaw in Oracle Solaris 11.4's Utility component, with Oracle's CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.5 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:H/A:N). The signals are internally consistent and point to a real but bounded risk: exploitation requires local logon with low privileges (PR:L), so it is not remotely reachable, but attack complexity is low (AC:L) and no user interaction is needed, making it reliably exploitable once an attacker has any authenticated foothold. The high-integrity-only impact (C:N/I:H/A:N) combined with a scope change (S:C) is the notable escalation factor - Oracle states attacks 'may significantly impact additional products,' implying the integrity compromise can cross a trust boundary beyond Solaris itself. No EPSS score, CISA KEV listing, or POC was provided in the input, so there is no evidence of active exploitation or public exploit code; this reads as a credential-gated local privilege/integrity issue rather than an urgent internet-facing emergency. Key missing data: no EPSS probability to gauge likelihood, no CWE to characterize the flaw class, and the 'Authentication Bypass' tag conflicts with the CVSS vector (which requires PR:L logon and shows integrity-only impact) - verify the flaw classification with Oracle, as it does not read as a classic auth bypass.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A low-privileged local user already logged into a Solaris 11.4 host invokes the vulnerable Utility component to perform unauthorized creation, deletion, or modification of critical data. Because the scope changes, the integrity impact can extend to additional products or trust domains beyond the originally compromised Solaris instance. No public exploit code was identified in the provided data, and exploitation requires an existing authenticated local foothold.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 21, 2026

Local integrity compromise in Oracle Solaris 11.4's Utility component allows a low-privileged user with an existing logon to create, delete, or modify critical data, with scope change potentially affecting additional products. Oracle rates this CVSS 3.1 6.5 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:H/A:N); no public exploit code or CISA KEV confirmation was identified in the available intelligence. The flaw is not remotely exploitable and requires authenticated local access, narrowing realistic risk to insiders or attackers who already have a foothold.

RemediationAI

Apply the Oracle Critical Patch Update (CPU) October 2026 fixes for Oracle Solaris 11.4 per https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpuoct2026.html; the input data does not specify an exact patched version, so confirm the fixed Solaris 11.4 release or patch ID in the advisory. Until patched, restrict local logon on Solaris 11.4 systems to trusted users and roles (trade-off: may constrain legitimate multiuser or administrative workflows), audit and monitor use of Utility component commands for unexpected data modification (trade-off: added logging overhead and potential noise), and isolate Solaris 11.4 hosts from other products where the scope-change impact could propagate (trade-off: segmentation effort and possible connectivity disruption). Because the affected Utility feature or command path is not named, do not attempt to disable broad system utilities without confirming the specific vector with Oracle.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Oracle Solaris is a Unix operating system; the affected 'Utility' component is a set of bundled system utilities. The root cause class is not specified (CWE: N/A), but the assessed vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:H/A:N) describes a local, low-complexity path in which a low-privileged authenticated user can cause high integrity impact, with a scope change indicating that the compromised Solaris instance may affect other products. EUVD lists only Oracle Solaris 11.4 as affected, and no CPE strings were supplied. The feed tag 'Authentication Bypass' should be read cautiously: the authoritative assessment requires prior local logon (PR:L) and does not support an unauthenticated bypass interpretation. The specific Utility feature or command path requiring invocation is not named in the available data and should be confirmed with Oracle.

DescriptionCVE.org

Vulnerability in the Oracle Solaris product of Oracle Systems (component: Utility). The supported version that is affected is 11.4. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle Solaris executes to compromise Oracle Solaris. While the vulnerability is in Oracle Solaris, 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 Solaris accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 6.5 (Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:H/A:N).
