Vulnerability Assessment
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires a low-privileged authenticated account on Oracle Enterprise Manager for Oracle Database (CVSS PR:L) with network access to the HTTP interface of the Data Guard Management component; affected versions are 13.5 and 24.1. No user interaction is required and attack complexity is low (AC:L), so it works against standard deployments once an attacker has any low-privilege credential. The primary limiting factors are the need for that initial authenticated foothold and network reachability of the OEM web interface - exposure should be reduced if the console is not internet-facing and account access is tightly controlled. The scope change (S:C) means successful exploitation can impact products beyond OEM itself. |
| Impact | This is a genuine high priority, not a high-CVSS-but-low-risk issue. The vendor-supplied CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H, 9.9) describes network-reachable exploitation over HTTP with only low privileges, no user interaction, low attack complexity, a scope change, and full C/I/A impact resulting in takeover of Oracle Enterprise Manager for Oracle Database. Oracle explicitly notes the scope change can significantly impact additional products - meaning compromise of the management console can cascade to the databases and systems it manages. Countervailing signals: no EPSS probability was provided, the CVE is NOT on CISA KEV, and no public POC is referenced, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation. The single reference is the Oracle October 2026 Critical Patch Update advisory. Net: the signals that are present (easy, remote, scope-changing, full takeover) all point to high real-world risk, but the exploitation-likelihood signals (EPSS/KEV/POC) are simply absent rather than low - this should be treated as high priority to patch while recognizing that active exploitation is unconfirmed. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A low-privileged user with a valid Enterprise Manager account (or who has obtained one) sends crafted HTTP requests to the Data Guard Management component of OEM for Oracle Database. Because attack complexity is low and no user interaction is needed, the attacker escalates to full takeover of the OEM instance, and the scope change lets the impact extend to additional managed products. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 21, 2026
Takeover of Oracle Enterprise Manager 13.5 and 24.1 is achievable by a low-privileged authenticated attacker with HTTP access to the Data Guard Management component. Exploitation requires only network reachability and a low-privilege account, yields high confidentiality, integrity and availability impact, and can affect additional products because of the CVSS scope change; no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Apply the Oracle Critical Patch Update fixes published in the October 2026 advisory (https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpuoct2026.html); patch availability is indicated by the vendor advisory, but the provided data does not enumerate an exact patched build. Until patched, restrict HTTP access to the Oracle Enterprise Manager Data Guard Management interface to trusted management networks or VPNs and tightly limit low-privileged OEM accounts, accepting that this may disrupt legitimate remote administration workflows. Remove or disable unnecessary low-privilege accounts and monitor for unusual Data Guard Management actions; disabling the component entirely is the strongest workaround where it is not needed, but it removes Data Guard administration functionality.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle Enterprise Manager for Oracle Database is an enterprise management console used to monitor and administer Oracle Database environments, including Data Guard configuration and standby management. This issue resides in the Data Guard Management component and is reachable over HTTP by a low-privileged authenticated user (CVSS PR:L) with low attack complexity and no user interaction. The provided data does not assign a CWE, so the precise implementation flaw class is not disclosed. The CVSS scope change (S:C) indicates that successful exploitation can cross a trust boundary and significantly impact products beyond Oracle Enterprise Manager itself; affected versions are 13.5 and 24.1. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.

Severity by source
AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
Remote HTTP exploitation needs a low-privilege account (PR:L), is easy (AC:L) with no interaction, and causes full takeover with cross-product impact, justifying S:C and C/I/A:H.

DescriptionNVD
Vulnerability in the Oracle Enterprise Manager for Oracle Database product of Oracle Enterprise Manager (component: Data Guard Management). Supported versions that are affected are 13.5 and 24.1. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Enterprise Manager for Oracle Database. While the vulnerability is in Oracle Enterprise Manager for Oracle Database, attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle Enterprise Manager for Oracle Database. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 9.9 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H).
Executive ViewAI
Oracle Enterprise Manager 13.5 and 24.1 carries a critical management-platform takeover risk through the Data Guard Management component, with potential impact extending to dependent products. Because this is an enterprise management plane, a compromise could disrupt monitoring, administration, and operational resilience across teams rather than affect a single system. No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis, so leadership should prioritize exposure reduction and containment.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; restrict HTTP access to the Data Guard Management component to trusted networks, enforce least privilege for Oracle Enterprise Manager accounts, segment management-plane access, monitor and alert on anomalous administrative activity, and maintain immutable backups.
