MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Defense Evasion The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the attacker to already hold valid low-privileged Oracle E-Business Suite credentials (PR:L - authenticated access), reaching the ADADMIN component of Oracle General Ledger over HTTP (AV:N). It applies to Oracle General Ledger versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15. The key LIMITING factor is HIGH attack complexity (AC:H): Oracle explicitly rates it 'Difficult to exploit,' meaning success depends on conditions beyond the attacker's direct control (e.g., specific state, timing, or configuration), not merely sending a request. No user interaction is required (UI:N) and scope is unchanged (S:U). The advisory does not name a specific feature toggle or non-default setting, so the primary gating conditions are valid authentication plus overcoming the high-complexity barrier. |
| Impact | This is a genuinely serious but not top-tier emergency issue. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.5 with vector AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H - network-reachable over HTTP, but with HIGH attack complexity (AC:H) and requiring low-level authentication (PR:L), while delivering full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact ('takeover'). The two mitigating signals (AC:H and PR:L) materially lower real-world risk: an attacker must already hold valid low-privilege credentials AND overcome conditions outside their control, which is why Oracle itself labels it 'Difficult to exploit.' No EPSS score was provided, there is no CISA KEV listing, and no public exploit code was identified at time of analysis, so there is no evidence of active or imminent widespread exploitation. The input Tags label this 'Information Disclosure,' which UNDERSTATES the impact - the description and CVSS vector both show C:H/I:H/A:H (full takeover), not mere disclosure; treat the tag as incomplete rather than the authoritative impact. Net: a real patch-priority item for Oracle EBS operators (full application takeover, authenticated internal threat or credential-phishing scenario), but the AC:H + PR:L combination means it is not a drop-everything internet-facing crisis absent further exploitation evidence. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who already possesses valid low-privileged Oracle E-Business Suite credentials (e.g., a compromised internal account or an over-provisioned business user) sends crafted HTTP requests targeting the ADADMIN component of Oracle General Ledger, exploiting a complex flaw to escalate to full control of the General Ledger application. Because attack complexity is HIGH, success depends on conditions the attacker cannot fully control, so this is more plausible as a determined insider or post-foothold lateral-movement step than opportunistic mass exploitation. No public proof-of-concept exploit code was identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 21, 2026
Authenticated low-privileged users can compromise Oracle General Ledger 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 over HTTP, with successful exploitation potentially leading to takeover of the General Ledger component. The CVSS 3.1 score is 7.5, reflecting high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, but Oracle rates the attack as difficult to exploit because it requires high attack complexity in addition to valid credentials. No public exploit code or active exploitation is identified at time of analysis, and remediation is available through Oracle's October 2026 Critical Patch Update.
RemediationAI
Patch available per vendor advisory: apply the Oracle Critical Patch Update for October 2026 and follow the E-Business Suite guidance at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpuoct2026.html for Oracle General Ledger 12.2.3 through 12.2.15; the input does not specify an exact patched build number, so confirm the applicable patch through Oracle Support/My Oracle Support. Until patched, restrict network access to General Ledger and ADADMIN HTTP endpoints to trusted users, enforce least privilege, and monitor low-privileged accounts for anomalous General Ledger administrative activity. These controls reduce exposure but do not eliminate the flaw; restricting or disabling ADADMIN-related functionality may affect application maintenance workflows and should be tested before production use.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle General Ledger is the core financial accounting application within Oracle E-Business Suite, and the ADADMIN component relates to application administration functions. The advisory assigns no CWE, so the precise defect class is not disclosed; the CVSS vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H describes a network-reachable HTTP attack that requires valid low-privileged E-Business Suite credentials (PR:L) and high attack complexity (AC:H), with no user interaction and unchanged scope. AC:H means success depends on conditions outside the attacker's direct control, such as specific application state, timing, or configuration, rather than a simple request. The supplied tags include Information Disclosure, but the assessed impact is high across confidentiality, integrity, and availability, so the practical consequence can extend beyond data disclosure to full component takeover.

DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the Oracle General Ledger product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: ADADMIN). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.3-12.2.15. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle General Ledger. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle General Ledger. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 7.5 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
Executive ViewAI
Oracle General Ledger versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 are affected by a high-severity vulnerability that could allow a user with valid credentials to compromise the General Ledger component, potentially leading to unauthorized access, data manipulation, or service disruption. Although exploitation is considered difficult and no public exploit or active attacks have been identified, the lack of a vendor patch until Oracle's October 2026 Critical Patch Update means financial reporting and related business processes remain at risk. Leadership should prioritize interim mitigations to protect sensitive financial data.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; interim mitigations include restricting network access to General Ledger systems, enforcing least privilege and strong authentication, enabling comprehensive logging and monitoring, applying Oracle's security hardening guidelines, and using a web application firewall with virtual patching if available. Remediation is expected via Oracle's October 2026 Critical Patch Update.
