Vulnerability Assessment

Exploitation Conditions

Requires a valid low-privileged authenticated account on the target Oracle REST Data Services instance (PR:L) plus interaction from a separate, typically higher-privileged user who must view or render the attacker-supplied content (UI:R) - exploitation is specifically tied to the Database Actions component. Limiting factors: this is not a drive-by unauthenticated flaw; the attacker cannot complete the attack alone and depends on social-engineering or workflow-based delivery to a victim, which meaningfully reduces real-world exploitability despite the network attack vector. The scope change means successful exploitation can extend impact to additional products beyond ORDS.

Impact

This is a moderate-severity (CVSS 5.4), medium-priority issue rather than a top-tier emergency. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N) describes a network-reachable but constrained flaw: it requires an authenticated low-privileged account (PR:L) AND human interaction from a different user (UI:R), with partial confidentiality and integrity impact and no availability impact. The scope change (S:C) combined with UI:R, C:L, I:L and A:N is the textbook signature of a cross-site scripting / content-injection class flaw, where an attacker-planted payload executes in a victim's context and crosses a trust boundary - note that the input Tags label this 'Authentication Bypass', which conflicts with the CVSS/description signals and should be verified with Oracle. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public POC were provided, so there is no evidence of active or at-scale exploitation; the two gating requirements (valid low-priv credentials plus a tricked victim) make opportunistic mass exploitation unlikely. Priority is driven by the scope-change multi-product impact and the broad affected-version range (24.2.0-26.1.0), not by exploitation likelihood. Patch via the Oracle CPU in normal cycle; this is not a drop-everything item absent new exploitation signals.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A low-privileged but authenticated Oracle REST Data Services user injects a malicious payload through the Database Actions component; when a higher-privileged user (e.g., an administrator) subsequently views that content, the payload executes in the victim's authenticated session. Because the scope changes, the attacker can read a subset of data and perform unauthorized update/insert/delete actions in the victim's context, potentially affecting products beyond ORDS itself. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 21, 2026

Oracle REST Data Services 24.2.0 through 26.1.0 contains a moderate-severity Database Actions flaw that lets an authenticated low-privileged attacker with network access and a victim's interaction alter or read limited data, with scope change potentially affecting additional products. Exploitation requires the attacker to hold a valid low-privileged ORDS account and persuade a separate, typically higher-privileged user to view or render attacker-supplied content; it is not an unauthenticated drive-by. No public exploit was identified at time of analysis, and Oracle has published a CPU advisory for the affected range.

RemediationAI

Patch available per vendor advisory: apply Oracle's October 2026 Critical Patch Update (CPU) for Oracle REST Data Services; the advisory at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpuoct2026.html covers the affected 24.2.0-26.1.0 range, but the supplied data does not specify the exact fixed ORDS release, so verify the minimum patched version in Oracle's CPU matrix before upgrading. If immediate patching is not possible, restrict HTTP access to Database Actions endpoints to trusted administrative networks or VPN segments (trade-off: reduces legitimate remote access), disable the Database Actions component when it is not required (trade-off: removes the browser-based SQL/development interface for users), and review and remove unnecessary low-privileged ORDS accounts while enforcing least privilege (trade-off: administrative overhead and possible workflow disruption). Because exploitation needs a victim to interact with attacker-supplied content, add user awareness for unsolicited Database Actions links and enforce content-security controls where feasible; no public exploit was identified at time of analysis, but these controls reduce exposure until the CPU is applied.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Oracle REST Data Services is a Java middleware layer that publishes Oracle Database objects and SQL over HTTP and includes Database Actions, a browser-based database development and administration interface. The issue is specifically in the Database Actions component of ORDS, not in the core database engine, but the CVSS scope-change flag means a successful exploit can affect resources beyond the vulnerable ORDS component. The assessed vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N) describes an authenticated low-privileged attacker who must get a separate user to render attacker-influenced content; impact is limited to partial confidentiality and integrity loss, with no availability impact. No CWE is assigned in the supplied data, so the precise root-cause class cannot be confirmed; the 'Authentication Bypass' tag is a vendor/intelligence label, but the PR:L requirement means this is not an unauthenticated bypass.

DescriptionNVD

Vulnerability in Oracle REST Data Services (component: Database Actions). Supported versions that are affected are 24.2.0-26.1.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle REST Data Services. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and while the vulnerability is in Oracle REST Data Services, 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 REST Data Services accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle REST Data Services 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).
