MITRE ATT&CK

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

Exploitation requires (1) the attacker to hold valid low-privilege authenticated access to Oracle HRMS (US) within the Mobile Applications component (PR:L), and (2) human interaction from a separate victim who must view or act on attacker-controlled content (UI:R) - the attacker cannot complete the attack alone. These two factors (mandatory authentication plus required victim interaction) are the primary limiting conditions that reduce real-world risk below the raw network-reachable vector. Affected deployments are Oracle E-Business Suite releases 12.2.3 through 12.2.15; systems outside this range or already patched via the October 2026 CPU are not exploitable.

Impact

This is a moderate-severity (CVSS 3.1 base 5.4, MEDIUM) vulnerability in Oracle HRMS (US), part of Oracle E-Business Suite, disclosed in the Oracle Critical Patch Update of October 2026. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N) signals a network-reachable but privilege- and interaction-gated flaw: the attacker must already hold low-level authenticated access (PR:L) and must induce a separate victim to act (UI:R), while the scope change (S:C) plus partial confidentiality and integrity impact with no availability impact is the classic fingerprint of a stored/reflected cross-site scripting or similar injection issue rather than an authentication bypass. No EPSS score, CISA KEV listing, or public proof-of-concept was provided in the intelligence set, so there is no positive signal of active or imminent exploitation; the moderate CVSS is driven by impact scope and ease of access, not by demonstrated weaponization. Net assessment: a real but not top-priority issue for most defenders - patch in the normal CPU cycle rather than emergency-out-of-band - with the caveat that EBS is a high-value target and the required 'low privilege' is often trivially obtainable via self-service HR portals. CONFLICT TO NOTE: the input Tag 'Authentication Bypass' contradicts the CVSS vector, which requires PR:L (an authenticated low-privilege attacker) - this is not an unauthenticated bypass; verify the vulnerability class against the Oracle advisory.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A low-privileged authenticated EBS user (e.g. an employee with self-service HR access) injects a malicious payload through the Mobile Applications component of Oracle HRMS (US). When a different, more privileged user - such as an HR administrator - views the affected content, the payload executes in their authenticated session, allowing limited unauthorized read and update/insert/delete access to HRMS data and potentially impacting other EBS products due to the scope change. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 21, 2026

A moderate-severity flaw (CVSS 3.1 base 5.4, MEDIUM) in the Mobile Applications component of Oracle HRMS (US) within Oracle E-Business Suite, disclosed in the October 2026 Critical Patch Update, lets a low-privileged authenticated attacker who persuades another user to interact with attacker-controlled content alter or delete some HRMS data and read a limited subset of it, with scope change extending impact to other products. Deployments running E-Business Suite 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 are affected; exploitation requires network access over HTTP, valid low-privilege credentials, and victim interaction, so the attacker cannot succeed alone. No public exploit code or confirmed active exploitation (CISA KEV) was identified at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

Apply the October 2026 Oracle Critical Patch Update, which is the vendor-released patch addressing this flaw; confirm the E-Business Suite 12.2.x patch level is at or above the version specified in the Oracle CPU advisory at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpuoct2026.html (the advisory is the authoritative source for the exact patch identifier and should be consulted rather than relying on an inferred version number). Where patching must be staged, compensating controls include restricting network reachability of the HRMS (US) Mobile Applications endpoints to trusted networks or VPN segments so that only known user populations can reach them - accepting the trade-off that legitimate mobile access from untrusted networks will break - and reducing UI:R exposure by training or technically constraining users against following unsolicited links into HRMS (US) mobile pages. Because PR:L requires valid credentials, tightening entitlements so that only genuinely necessary users hold HRMS (US) mobile roles shrinks the pool of usable footholds, at the cost of administrative re-provisioning effort; and because S:C allows impact to spread to other products, isolating the E-Business Suite instance from unrelated trust domains limits lateral consequences. Monitor HRMS (US) audit logs for anomalous record updates from mobile sessions during the window before patching is complete.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Oracle E-Business Suite's HRMS (US) module exposes Mobile Applications endpoints over HTTP, and the flaw arises in that web-facing mobile layer rather than in a cryptographic or memory-safety primitive - no CWE is assigned in the available data, so the root cause is best characterized as a business-logic and access-control weakness in how the mobile component handles user-supplied requests. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N) confirms a network-reachable, low-complexity attack that nevertheless requires the attacker to already hold low-privilege authenticated access to the HRMS (US) application and to induce a separate user to perform some action (UI:R). The scope-change component (S:C) indicates that compromise of HRMS (US) can significantly affect other components or products sharing the E-Business Suite trust boundary, which matters for deployment-wide blast-radius planning even though the direct confidentiality and integrity impacts are rated Low. Because the vector is PR:L, this is not an unauthenticated pre-auth issue despite the 'Authentication Bypass' classification tag supplied with the intelligence.

DescriptionCVE.org

Vulnerability in the Oracle HRMS (US) product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: Mobile Applications). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.3-12.2.15. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle HRMS (US). Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and while the vulnerability is in Oracle HRMS (US), attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle HRMS (US) accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle HRMS (US) accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 5.4 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N).
