Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires the attacker to already hold HIGH privileges (administrative/operator-level access) within Oracle REST Data Services, per PR:H - this is the primary limiting factor and rules out unauthenticated or external-only attackers. The attack targets the Database Actions component and is carried out over HTTP (AV:N), with no user interaction (UI:N) and low attack complexity (AC:L) once privileges are held. Only ORDS versions 24.2.0 through 26.1.0 are affected; environments outside this range or without the Database Actions component exposed are not impacted. Impact is bounded to partial read, partial write, and partial DoS of ORDS-accessible data only (scope unchanged, S:U).

Impact

This is a genuinely low-to-moderate priority issue despite being network-reachable. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 4.7 (MEDIUM), and the vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L reveals the key constraint: PR:H means the attacker must already hold high-privilege (administrative) access to Oracle REST Data Services before exploitation. All three impacts (C:L/I:L/A:L) are only LOW/partial - limited read, limited update/insert/delete, and a partial denial of service rather than full compromise. No EPSS score, KEV listing, or POC is present in the provided data, so there is no evidence of active exploitation or public exploit tooling. The 'easily exploitable' wording in Oracle's description aligns with AC:L (low attack complexity) but is heavily offset by the PR:H precondition - a signal worth highlighting because Oracle's 'easily exploitable' phrasing can be misread as low-barrier when it in fact assumes the attacker is already privileged. Net: a defense-in-depth concern (a privileged user escalating their limited reach), not an externally-driven emergency. No conflicting signals were found, but note the absence of EPSS/KEV/POC means exploitation likelihood is inferred, not measured.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who has already obtained high-privilege credentials for Oracle REST Data Services (e.g., a rogue or compromised admin/operator account) sends crafted HTTP requests to the Database Actions component to read a subset of accessible data, make limited unauthorized modifications (insert/update/delete), or degrade service availability. No public exploit code or active exploitation is identified in the provided data, and the attack cannot be performed by an unauthenticated outsider because high privileges are a prerequisite.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 21, 2026

High-privileged users of Oracle REST Data Services (ORDS) 24.2.0 through 26.1.0 can abuse the Database Actions component over HTTP to read and modify a limited subset of ORDS-accessible data and to cause a partial denial of service. The flaw is easily triggered once administrative or operator-level privileges are already held (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L, base score 4.7), so the privilege prerequisite rather than technical complexity is the main barrier. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no CISA KEV listing; Oracle addresses it in its October 2026 Critical Patch Update.

RemediationAI

Apply the Oracle Critical Patch Update for October 2026 (https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpuoct2026.html) and upgrade ORDS to a release later than 26.1.0 that Oracle lists as containing the fix; the advisory is the authoritative source for the exact patched build, and no standalone fix version is independently confirmed in the available data. Where upgrading cannot be done immediately, restrict network reachability of the Database Actions endpoints to trusted administrative networks or a bastion with strong authentication, accepting the trade-off that legitimate remote DBAs lose direct console access. Enforce least privilege so that only accounts that genuinely require administrative or operator roles hold them in ORDS, which reduces the population of accounts able to trigger the defect but may require re-mapping existing DBA workflows. Additionally, log and alert on anomalous insert, update, and delete activity and on error bursts indicative of partial denial of service originating from high-privileged sessions; front-end WAF filtering of Database Actions paths can add friction but risks breaking legitimate REST and SQL console traffic and should be validated in a staging environment first.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Oracle REST Data Services is a Java-based mid-tier that publishes Oracle Database objects and SQL as RESTful endpoints, and its Database Actions component is the browser-based SQL/development console exposed over HTTP. Oracle assigned no CWE for this entry, so the precise coding defect is undisclosed; the advisory characterizes it only as easily exploitable with network access, low attack complexity, no user interaction, and an unchanged scope. The CVSS vector's PR:H places the defect in the privileged-functionality class: the attacker must already operate an account with high privileges inside ORDS, after which the Database Actions surface permits limited read, limited write, and partial denial-of-service effects against ORDS-accessible data. Because scope is unchanged (S:U), the impact stays within the ORDS trust boundary and does not imply database-wide compromise or host takeover; the confidentiality, integrity, and availability ratings are each Low, which bounds the blast radius to a subset of accessible data and a partial service disruption.

DescriptionCVE.org

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 high privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle REST Data Services. 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 and unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of Oracle REST Data Services. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 4.7 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L).
