2 techniques across 2 tactics: Collection, Discovery

The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

Requires the attacker to already have a valid low-privileged interactive login on the Oracle Solaris 11.4 host (AV:L, PR:L) and to be able to reach the X Window System component locally; no user interaction by a victim is needed (UI:N). Limiting factors: exploitation is impossible without an existing local account, cannot be performed over the network, and affects only Solaris 11.4 - hosts without local attacker accounts or running other versions are not exposed. Oracle characterizes it as 'easily exploitable' once local logon is held, consistent with AC:L.

Impact

This is a moderate-severity, low-real-priority local privilege issue, not an urgent remote threat. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.3 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L) describes a locally-exploitable flaw requiring an existing low-privileged account on the Solaris host; impact is partial across confidentiality, integrity and availability (all :L), with no scope change. All three exploitation-status signals point the same way: no CISA KEV listing, no public exploit code identified, and no EPSS score was provided in the input - so there is no evidence of active or imminent exploitation. No SSVC decision data was supplied. The one mild amplifier is Oracle's own wording ('easily exploitable'), consistent with AC:L, but local access (AV:L) plus a required login (PR:L) sharply limits reach: an unauthenticated or remote attacker cannot leverage this directly. Net: a legitimate patch-management item on the normal Oracle quarterly cadence, not an emergency. No signals conflict; the main gap is the absent EPSS value and CWE (listed N/A), which prevents a quantitative probability estimate.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A user who already holds a low-privileged local account on an Oracle Solaris 11.4 system interacts with the vulnerable X Window System component to gain unauthorized partial read and write/delete access to some Solaris-accessible data and to trigger a partial denial of service. No public proof-of-concept or exploit code has been identified, and the attack cannot be launched remotely or without a valid login. Realistically this is a post-authentication escalation/abuse step rather than an initial-access vector.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 21, 2026

Low-privileged local users on Oracle Solaris 11.4 can abuse the X Window System component to modify or delete some accessible data, read a subset of Solaris data, and cause a partial denial of service. The CVSS 3.1 score is 5.3 with the vector AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L, so an attacker must already hold a valid interactive login on the host, no victim interaction is required, and the issue cannot be reached remotely. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and exposure is limited to Solaris 11.4 systems where an attacker already has a local account.

RemediationAI

Patch availability is per the vendor advisory: apply the Oracle Solaris 11.4 fixes published in the Oracle Critical Patch Update for October 2026 at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpuoct2026.html, and treat that CPU as the authoritative source for the fixed SRU or patch revision because the provided data does not specify an exact build number. Until the host is patched, reduce exposure by limiting interactive logon on Solaris 11.4 systems to trusted users, auditing and removing unnecessary local accounts, and disabling or restricting X Window System services and display access where graphical sessions are not required. Trade-offs: disabling X11 breaks GUI desktops and X-dependent applications, and tightening local account access can disrupt legitimate multi-user workflows; neither compensating control eliminates the need for the vendor patch.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The affected component is the X Window System stack shipped with Oracle Solaris 11.4, which provides the graphical display and windowing services used by local sessions and X clients. The provided data assigns no CWE, so the precise root-cause class behind the local read, write/delete, and partial denial-of-service impacts cannot be attributed to a specific memory-safety or access-control defect from the available information. Oracle rates the issue as easily exploitable once a low-privileged attacker has logon access to the Solaris infrastructure, which is consistent with AC:L, while the AV:L and PR:L metrics confirm that no network path or unauthenticated access is involved. The confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts are each low, and the scope is unchanged, making this a local privilege-boundary and data-protection concern for multi-user Solaris 11.4 hosts rather than a remote compromise vector.

DescriptionCVE.org

Vulnerability in the Oracle Solaris product of Oracle Systems (component: X Window System). The supported version that is affected is 11.4. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle Solaris executes to compromise Oracle Solaris. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle Solaris accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle Solaris accessible data and unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of Oracle Solaris. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 5.3 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L).

Attack Technique

Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security.

Denial of Service attacks render applications or systems unavailable by overwhelming resources or triggering failure conditions.
