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 | Requires a valid low-privileged Oracle Essbase account (PR:L) with network HTTP access to the Essbase server; exploitation targets the Security component of version 21.8.3.0.0. No user interaction and no elevated/admin privileges are required beyond the initial authenticated session, and no non-default feature toggle is named in the description. The key limiting factor is the prerequisite authenticated account - this is not exploitable by fully unauthenticated attackers - which, combined with only partial (Low) confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact and unchanged scope, bounds realistic risk to users who can already reach and log into the Essbase service. |
| Impact | This is a moderate-severity, low-priority vulnerability by current signals. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.3 (Medium) with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L, meaning network-reachable over HTTP, low attack complexity, no user interaction, but requiring an existing low-privileged authenticated account. Impacts are all 'Low' across confidentiality, integrity, and availability (partial data read/modify and partial DoS), and scope is unchanged - so this is not a full-system-compromise bug. No EPSS score is present in the input, the CVE is NOT in CISA KEV, and no public POC is referenced, so there is no evidence of active or imminent exploitation. The single reference is Oracle's October 2026 Critical Patch Update (cpuoct2026.html), consistent with a routine quarterly patch rather than an emergency fix. The main caveat is the PR:L requirement: 'low privileged attacker' means an attacker must already hold a valid Essbase account, which meaningfully limits mass exploitation and points toward insider or post-foothold abuse rather than widespread unauthenticated attacks. No conflicting signals were detected between the description and the CVSS vector. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who already possesses a low-privileged Oracle Essbase account sends crafted HTTP requests that abuse a flaw in the Security component to read a subset of data, perform unauthorized inserts/updates/deletes on some accessible data, and degrade availability (partial DoS). No user interaction or elevated privileges are needed beyond the initial authenticated session. No public exploit code is referenced, so exploitation would currently require independent research. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 20, 2026
Oracle Essbase 21.8.3.0.0 exposes a Security-component flaw that lets an authenticated low-privileged attacker with network HTTP access read and modify a subset of accessible data and cause a partial denial of service. The CVSS 3.1 score is 6.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L), so exploitation requires a valid Essbase account but no user interaction or elevated privileges. No public exploit code or CISA KEV entry was identified at time of analysis, and no EPSS score was provided.
RemediationAI
Apply the Oracle Critical Patch Update October 2026 fix for Oracle Essbase 21.8.3.0.0 as documented at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpuoct2026.html; the provided data does not specify a distinct patched version number, so confirm the target release in the advisory before upgrading. Until patching is complete, restrict HTTP access to Essbase to trusted networks or jump hosts, which reduces exposure but can break legitimate BI and client connectivity; enforce least privilege and review Essbase Security-component roles and accounts to limit the low-privileged foothold the vector requires, though this adds operational overhead; and monitor Essbase HTTP logs for anomalous requests from low-privileged accounts, accepting that detection is not prevention. No vendor workaround is identified in the provided data.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle Essbase is a multidimensional OLAP server used for analytics, and its Security component governs authentication, authorization, and role-based access to Essbase resources. The provided data does not map the issue to a CWE and the vendor does not disclose the root cause, but the assessed low confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact with unchanged scope is consistent with an authorization or input-handling weakness in a Security-component HTTP endpoint reachable by a valid low-privileged session. The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L indicates network reachability over HTTP, a low-privileged authenticated prerequisite, no user interaction, and impact confined to the Essbase security scope. No CPE identifiers were supplied; the only affected version identified in the input is 21.8.3.0.0.

DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in Oracle Essbase (component: Security). The supported version that is affected is 21.8.3.0.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Essbase. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle Essbase accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle Essbase accessible data and unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of Oracle Essbase. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 6.3 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L).
