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 a valid low-privilege authenticated account on Oracle BI Publisher (CVSS PR:L) and HTTP network reachability to the Web Server component; the affected versions are 8.2.0.0.0, 12.2.1.4.0 and 26.01.0.0.0. No user interaction is required (UI:N) and attack complexity is low (AC:L), so once authenticated the attack is straightforward. The primary limiting factor is the authentication requirement - this is not a remote-unauthenticated flaw - which means an attacker must already possess or acquire valid credentials; impact is confined to confidentiality (unauthorized data access), with no integrity or availability effect and no scope change to other components. |
| Impact | This is a moderate-priority issue, not a top-tier emergency. The Oracle-assigned CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.5 (MEDIUM) with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, meaning network-reachable over HTTP, low attack complexity, but requiring low-level privileges (PR:L, i.e. an authenticated account) and affecting confidentiality only (C:H, with no integrity or availability impact). No EPSS score was supplied in the input, there is no CISA KEV listing, and no public proof-of-concept was referenced, so all three of the strongest real-world-exploitation signals are absent. A notable conflict exists between the metadata and the metrics: the 'Authentication Bypass' tag implies no credentials are needed, yet the vendor CVSS vector specifies PR:L, which requires valid low-privilege authentication - these cannot both be true, and the PR:L vector (sourced directly from Oracle) should be treated as authoritative over the loosely-applied tag. Net assessment: a genuine confidentiality-exposure flaw in an enterprise reporting product that authenticated users could abuse to read sensitive data, but with no evidence of active or automated exploitation it warrants scheduled patching in the normal Oracle Critical Patch Update cycle rather than emergency response. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A user holding a low-privilege Oracle BI Publisher account (or an attacker who has obtained such credentials) sends crafted HTTP requests to the Web Server component and gains unauthorized read access to critical report data beyond their authorization level. No public exploit code was identified at the time of analysis, and the attack requires valid authentication (PR:L) but no user interaction and no special client-side conditions. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 20, 2026
Oracle BI Publisher 8.2.0.0.0, 12.2.1.4.0, and 26.01.0.0.0 expose a confidentiality-only flaw in the Web Server component that lets an authenticated low-privileged attacker with HTTP reachability read critical data or all BI Publisher-accessible data. The CVSS 3.1 score of 6.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) reflects low attack complexity and no user interaction, but the PR:L prerequisite means valid credentials are required, and there is no integrity, availability, or scope impact. No public exploit code or confirmed active exploitation was identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Apply the Oracle Critical Patch Update (October 2026) fixes for BI Publisher 8.2.0.0.0, 12.2.1.4.0, and 26.01.0.0.0; the supplied data does not specify exact patched build numbers, so verify the target version against the vendor advisory at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpuoct2026.html before upgrading. Because the flaw requires only low privileges, prioritize instances with many low-trust accounts or broadly reachable web tiers. While patching, restrict HTTP access to the BI Publisher Web Server to trusted networks or VPN via firewall/ACL rules (reduces exposure but does not fix the flaw and complicates legitimate remote reporting access); audit and minimize low-privilege accounts, removing dormant or unnecessary users and tightening role assignments (limits the PR:L attack surface but requires ongoing identity governance effort); and monitor web-server and application logs for anomalous data-access patterns by low-privileged users (detection only, with potential false positives and no preventive guarantee).

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle BI Publisher is Oracle's enterprise reporting and document-generation platform, delivered as part of Oracle Analytics, and the affected component in this record is its Web Server. No CWE identifier was supplied, so the precise defect class is not confirmed; however, the vector - network-reachable over HTTP (AV:N), low complexity (AC:L), low privileges required (PR:L), no user interaction (UI:N), unchanged scope (S:U), and high confidentiality impact with no integrity or availability impact (C:H/I:N/A:N) - is consistent with an access-control or authorization weakness in how the Web Server scopes data for low-privileged users, rather than with memory corruption or code execution. The affected builds are 8.2.0.0.0, 12.2.1.4.0, and 26.01.0.0.0 according to Oracle and ENISA EUVD. No CPE strings or deeper technical detail (root cause, affected endpoint, or proof-of-concept) were present in the supplied references beyond the Oracle Critical Patch Update advisory.
