Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires an affected Oracle REST Data Services instance (versions 24.2.0 through 26.1.0) reachable over HTTP, AND successful social-engineering of a separate victim user into interacting with attacker-supplied content (UI:R) - the attacker cannot complete the attack unassisted. No authentication is required of the attacker (PR:N), and attack complexity is low (AC:L), but the mandatory human-interaction step is the primary limiting factor and means the attack fails against users who do not take the bait. The granted access is partial: read of only a subset of ORDS data and modification of only some data, with no availability impact, bounding the realistic damage.

Impact

This is a moderate-severity issue (CVSS 3.1 base 5.4) in Oracle REST Data Services (ORDS). The vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N describes a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated flaw whose critical gating factor is required user interaction (UI:R) from a victim other than the attacker - a signature consistent with a client-side injection class (e.g. reflected/stored XSS or request forgery) rather than a direct server compromise. Impact is partial: low confidentiality and low integrity (unauthorized read of a data subset, plus unauthorized update/insert/delete of some data), with no availability impact. No EPSS score, CISA KEV listing, or public POC was provided in the input, so there is no positive signal of active or imminent exploitation; the only available risk signals are the CVSS metrics themselves. The scope is Unchanged (S:U), limiting blast radius to the ORDS component. The 'Authentication Bypass' tag in the input conflicts with the vulnerability data - unauthorized data access here stems from tricking an interacting user (UI:R), not from bypassing authentication, so that tag appears mislabeled and should not drive prioritization. Net assessment: a real but mid-tier issue appropriate for routine Oracle Critical Patch Update (CPU) cycle remediation rather than emergency response, absent any exploitation evidence.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker crafts a malicious HTTP link or request targeting an ORDS endpoint and lures an authenticated or privileged ORDS user into clicking it. When the victim's browser processes the attacker-controlled content, it triggers unauthorized read of a subset of ORDS-accessible data and unauthorized update, insert, or delete of some data in the victim's context. No public exploit code was identified in the provided intelligence, and success depends entirely on the victim interacting with the attacker's content.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 21, 2026

Limited unauthorized read and update/delete access to Oracle ORDS data is possible for unauthenticated network attackers who convince a separate user to interact with attacker-supplied content in Oracle REST Data Services 24.2.0 through 26.1.0. The CVSS 3.1 score is 5.4 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N), reflecting partial confidentiality and integrity impact with no availability impact, and the attack cannot succeed without that human interaction. No public exploit code was identified at time of analysis, and no CISA KEV confirmation was provided.

RemediationAI

Apply the ORDS fix identified in Oracle's October 2026 Critical Patch Update at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpuoct2026.html; the provided data does not specify an exact fixed version, so verify the patched release in the advisory before upgrading. Until patched, reduce exposure by placing ORDS HTTP endpoints behind VPN or IP allowlists and restricting untrusted internet access, with the trade-off of reduced accessibility for legitimate remote users. Because exploitation requires a victim to interact with attacker-supplied content, reinforce user awareness and block or inspect suspicious links/content reaching ORDS users, but treat that as a supplement to patching rather than a substitute. Monitor ORDS logs for anomalous read or update activity from unauthenticated sessions. No public exploit code was identified in the provided intelligence.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Oracle REST Data Services (ORDS) is Java-based middleware that exposes Oracle Database data and PL/SQL as RESTful HTTP endpoints. The vulnerable component is ORDS Core, and affected releases are 24.2.0 through 26.1.0. No CWE or root-cause detail is provided, so the precise coding flaw cannot be confirmed from the available data. The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N shows an unauthenticated network attacker with low attack complexity who still must induce a separate user to interact with attacker-supplied content; only limited confidentiality and integrity impacts are possible, with no availability impact. The intelligence feed carries an Authentication Bypass tag, but no CWE is supplied, and the vector confirms only that no attacker authentication is required rather than proving a full authentication bypass.

DescriptionCVE.org

Vulnerability in Oracle REST Data Services (component: Core). Supported versions that are affected are 24.2.0-26.1.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle REST Data Services. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker. 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:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N).
