MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Defense Evasion, Initial Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires network reachability to the LDAP Gateway component of the Oracle Identity Manager Connector (affected versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0); the gateway must be deployed and accessible over LDAP to the attacker. No authentication, no privileges, and no user interaction are required (PR:N/UI:N), so default network-exposed deployments of the LDAP Gateway are exploitable. The primary limiting factor is network exposure: environments that restrict LDAP Gateway access to trusted internal segments or front it with network controls substantially reduce reachability. Impact is confined to confidentiality - unauthorized read access to connector-accessible data - with no integrity or availability effect. |
| Impact | This is a genuine but bounded priority. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) describes an easily exploitable, network-reachable, unauthenticated flaw requiring no user interaction - the most favorable possible conditions for an attacker - which is why Oracle rates it 7.5. However, impact is strictly confidentiality (C:H/I:N/A:N): the flaw yields unauthorized read access to Identity Manager Connector data, not code execution or data tampering. Critically, several escalation signals are MISSING rather than negative: no EPSS probability, no SSVC decision data, and no CISA KEV listing were provided, and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The absence of KEV/POC data means this is not confirmed to be under active exploitation - it should be treated as a high-value patching target (unauthenticated confidentiality breach of an identity/IAM product is serious given the sensitivity of IAM data) but not an emergency on exploitation-probability grounds. One conflict to verify: the input Tag 'Authentication Bypass' is not corroborated by the CVSS vector, which shows no integrity impact (I:N); verify with Oracle whether this is true authentication bypass or simply pre-authentication data disclosure. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with network access to the Oracle Identity Manager Connector's LDAP Gateway sends crafted LDAP requests without any credentials and, because no authentication or user interaction is required, retrieves critical identity-related data accessible to the connector. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, so exploitation would currently require independent research or reverse-engineering of the Oracle October 2026 CPU fix. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 20, 2026
Unauthenticated LDAP requests to the LDAP Gateway in Oracle IDM Connector 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0 can expose critical connector-accessible data, giving remote attackers a confidentiality-only read primitive rated CVSS 7.5. The flaw is network-reachable and requires no credentials or user interaction, but exploitation depends on the gateway being deployed and accessible over LDAP. No public exploit code or CISA KEV entry was identified at time of analysis, so risk is bounded by network exposure rather than by confirmed active exploitation.
RemediationAI
Apply the Oracle Identity Manager Connector fix listed in Oracle's October 2026 Critical Patch Update advisory at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpuoct2026.html for the affected 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0 versions; the exact patched version is not specified in the provided data, so confirm it in the advisory before upgrading. If immediate patching is not possible, restrict network access to the LDAP Gateway to trusted identity-integration segments, block LDAP ports from untrusted networks, or front the gateway with an LDAP-aware proxy or firewall allowlist-each option reduces reachability but can break legitimate directory synchronization and adds operational overhead. If the LDAP Gateway is not required, disable it to remove exposure, accepting that dependent connector features may stop working, and monitor LDAP Gateway logs for anomalous unauthenticated queries.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected component is the LDAP Gateway shipped with Oracle Identity Manager Connector, which provides an LDAP-facing interface for identity integration. The provided data has no CWE assignment, but the Authentication Bypass tag and the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) describe a pre-authentication access-control weakness reachable over LDAP: an attacker who can send LDAP requests to the gateway can read data the connector can access, with no integrity or availability impact. No CPE strings were supplied, so exact platform and deployment identifiers should be confirmed against Oracle's advisory.

Severity by source
AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
LDAP is network-reachable (AV:N) and exploitation is described as easy with no auth or interaction (AC:L/PR:N/UI:N); impact is data disclosure only, so C:H with I:N/A:N.

DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the Oracle Identity Manager Connector product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: LDAP Gateway). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via LDAP to compromise Oracle Identity Manager Connector. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle Identity Manager Connector accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 7.5 (Confidentiality impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N).
Executive ViewAI
Oracle IDM Connector 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0 expose connector-accessible identity data through the LDAP Gateway, creating a confidentiality risk for identity infrastructure and dependent business services. No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, so leadership should focus on reducing LDAP Gateway exposure and monitoring for misuse while vendor remediation is tracked.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; restrict LDAP Gateway access to trusted networks, disable unused gateway deployments, segment and monitor LDAP traffic, and validate least-privilege access to connector-accessible data.
