The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

Requires (1) network reachability to the Oracle E-Business Suite HTTP tier serving the Oracle Universal Work Queue Work Provider Site Level Administration component, (2) a valid low-privileged EBS application account (PR:L - not anonymous), and (3) an EBS 12.2 instance running an affected UWQ version in the 12.2.3-12.2.15 range with UWQ deployed. Exploitation is limited by High attack complexity (AC:H), meaning success depends on conditions outside the attacker's direct control such as specific UWQ configuration, particular work-provider state, or precise request crafting; no user interaction is needed (UI:N) and scope is unchanged (S:U), so impact is confined to the UWQ module itself rather than the broader EBS stack.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H yields a 7.5 base score, driven by full CIA impact but tempered by high attack complexity and a required low-privileged account. No EPSS score, KEV listing, or POC is provided, and Oracle has not flagged active exploitation, so this currently looks like a serious-but-not-imminent issue rather than a drop-everything emergency. The realistic risk profile is highest for internet-exposed EBS deployments where standard application user accounts can reach the UWQ administration surface, since any authenticated user could attempt the chain; internal-only EBS instances with restricted UWQ access are materially lower risk. Key data gaps: no CWE, no independent technical write-up, and no patch version string beyond the June 2026 CPU bundle, so the precise root cause and exact patched build must be confirmed from the Oracle advisory itself.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who has obtained any low-privileged EBS application account (for example through phishing a help-desk user or reusing leaked credentials) authenticates to the EBS web tier and sends a crafted HTTP request to the Work Provider Site Level Administration function of UWQ, abusing the flaw to escalate within the module and take it over. Because AC is High, the attacker must satisfy non-trivial preconditions (specific configuration state, timing, or input crafting) before the exploit succeeds, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis means an attacker would need to derive the technique from the patch.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jun 16, 2026

Takeover of Oracle Universal Work Queue is possible in Oracle E-Business Suite versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 via the Work Provider Site Level Administration component, where a low-privileged attacker with HTTP network access can fully compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the module. Oracle classifies the issue as difficult to exploit (AC:H), and no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The flaw was disclosed in the Oracle Critical Patch Update of June 2026.

RemediationAI

Patch available per vendor advisory: apply the Oracle Critical Patch Update of June 2026 fixes for E-Business Suite 12.2.3-12.2.15 as documented at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cspujun2026.html, using the specific UWQ patch identifiers listed in the CPU patch availability matrix for your EBS release. Until the CPU can be applied, compensating controls include restricting network reach to the EBS HTTP tier (place the application behind a VPN or IP-allowlisted reverse proxy so only trusted operator subnets can reach /OA_HTML/ URLs), revoking the UWQ administration responsibility from non-administrative users in FND so low-privileged accounts cannot reach Work Provider Site Level Administration, and enabling WAF/URL-firewall rules to log and rate-limit requests to UWQ administration paths - note that tightening responsibilities may disrupt legitimate work-routing administrators, and front-end ACLs will not protect against malicious insiders already on the corporate network.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Oracle Universal Work Queue (UWQ) is an E-Business Suite module that dispatches and routes work items (service requests, leads, tasks) to CRM/ERP users, integrating with components such as TeleService, Sales, and Service Contracts. The vulnerable surface is the Work Provider Site Level Administration interface, an HTTP-accessible administration function used to register and configure work providers at the site level. No CWE was assigned, but the combination of a high-complexity, low-privileged HTTP path leading to full takeover of the module is consistent with an authenticated logic or injection flaw in the administrative endpoint rather than a memory-corruption bug. The single affected CPE (oracle_universal_work_queue) and the 12.2.3-12.2.15 range cover the entire currently supported EBS 12.2 release train.

DescriptionCVE.org

Vulnerability in the Oracle Universal Work Queue product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: Work Provider Site Level Administration). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.3-12.2.15. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Universal Work Queue. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle Universal Work Queue. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 7.5 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Oracle E-Business Suite deployments running versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 face a critical integrity risk: attackers with low-level account access can seize control of the Universal Work Queue module, potentially disrupting workflow processing and exposing sensitive business data. This poses both operational continuity and compliance risks for organizations dependent on E-Business Suite for order management, procurement, and other mission-critical workflows.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include: network segmentation to restrict access to the Work Provider Site Level Administration component; enforcement of strong authentication controls and multi-factor authentication for module access; application of least privilege principles to administrative accounts; implementation of comprehensive audit logging and alerting for Work Provider module activities; and establishment of a process to apply patches immediately upon vendor release.
