MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Execution 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 network-reachable Oracle E-Business Suite deployment running Oracle Human Resources versions 12.2.3-12.2.15 with the Person component exposed over HTTP, plus user interaction (UI:R) from a person other than the attacker - typically an authenticated HR user who must be induced to load attacker-supplied content. The attacker themselves needs no credentials (PR:N), but high attack complexity (AC:H) indicates additional conditions outside the attacker's control must align, such as a specific session state or configuration of the Person flow. Limiting factors: instances reachable only via VPN, strict same-site cookies, no concurrent authenticated HR session, or upgraded versions (post-12.2.15 or June 2026 CPU applied) prevent the chain. |
| Impact | CVSS 3.1 is 7.5 (High) with vector AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H - network-reachable and unauthenticated, but tempered by high attack complexity and the need for a second user (not the attacker) to interact. EPSS, KEV status, and SSVC inputs were not supplied, and no POC is referenced; the only source is Oracle's quarterly Critical Patch Update advisory. Real-world risk is meaningful for internet-exposed or partner-accessible EBS HR portals because impact is full module takeover, but the AC:H plus UI:R combination makes opportunistic mass exploitation unlikely - this is a patch-on-CPU-cycle item rather than an emergency unless an exploit surfaces. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote attacker crafts a malicious HTTP request or link targeting the Person component and lures an authenticated HR user - for example a payroll administrator - into visiting it via phishing or a watering-hole page. When that second user's browser issues the request against the EBS instance, the attacker leverages their session to alter or read employee records and ultimately take over the Oracle Human Resources module. No public exploit identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jun 16, 2026
Takeover of Oracle Human Resources in Oracle E-Business Suite versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 is possible when a remote unauthenticated attacker tricks a separate user into interacting with a crafted HTTP request targeting the Person component. Despite high attack complexity, successful exploitation yields full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact on the HR module. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Patch available per vendor advisory: apply the fixes bundled in Oracle's June 2026 Critical Patch Update for E-Business Suite as detailed at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cspujun2026.html, which covers all listed 12.2.3-12.2.15 releases. Until the CPU can be applied, restrict network reach to the EBS HR Person pages by placing the application behind VPN or an authenticated reverse proxy and blocking direct internet exposure (trade-off: external self-service HR flows break), enforce strict same-site cookies and Referer checks at the load balancer to blunt cross-user request-forgery style chains, and instruct HR operators to avoid clicking untrusted links while authenticated to EBS (trade-off: training-dependent, not a technical control). Do not skip the CPU - Oracle does not publish standalone hotfixes for E-Business Suite.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw resides in the Person component of the Oracle Human Resources product, an HCM module within Oracle E-Business Suite (CPE cpe:2.3:a:oracle_corporation:oracle_human_resources). E-Business Suite is a large web-based ERP platform delivered over HTTP via Oracle Application Server/WebLogic, and the Person subcomponent manages employee identity and demographic records. No CWE is assigned by Oracle, but the combination of remote HTTP delivery, required user interaction by a separate user, and full CIA compromise of the module is consistent with a client-assisted server-side flaw such as stored XSS leading to session/privilege abuse or a CSRF-style request-forgery chain against an authenticated HR operator.

DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the Oracle Human Resources product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: Person). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.3-12.2.15. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Human Resources. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle Human Resources. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 7.5 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
Executive ViewAI
Oracle E-Business Suite Human Resources module (versions 12.2.3-12.2.15) is vulnerable to complete account takeover via social engineering, allowing unauthenticated attackers to gain full control of HR data and functions. Exploitation requires tricking a user into clicking a malicious link but requires no valid credentials. Affected organizations face exposure of sensitive employee records, payroll data, and operational disruption to critical HR processes.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: restrict HR module network access to internal corporate networks only; implement email and web filtering to block external requests to affected components; deploy user awareness training on social engineering tactics; enable comprehensive audit logging of all HR module access; implement browser security controls requiring user re-authentication for sensitive HR transactions.
