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 (1) a reachable HTTP/HTTPS endpoint of an Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2.3-12.2.15 instance with the Public Sector Financials (International) localization module deployed and enabled, and (2) valid credentials for any low-privileged EBS account (PR:L) - anonymous exploitation is not in scope per the CVSS vector. No user interaction is needed (UI:N) and attack complexity is low (AC:L). Exploitation is naturally limited to environments that have specifically licensed and provisioned the Public Sector Financials (International) module - organizations using EBS Financials without this international/public-sector localization are not affected even on the same 12.2 versions. |
| Impact | The combined signals point to a high real-world priority for any organization running Oracle EBS 12.2 with this module enabled. CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N with C:H/I:H/A:H reflects a network-reachable, low-complexity attack that requires only a low-privileged account (any authenticated EBS user) and no user interaction, and Oracle explicitly characterizes it as 'easily exploitable' resulting in 'takeover' of the module. No EPSS score or KEV listing was provided in the input, and there is no evidence of a public POC, so right now exploitation is theoretical rather than mass-scanned. The mismatch worth flagging: Oracle classifies the impact as full takeover (C:H/I:H/A:H), yet the provided tags only mention 'Information Disclosure' - defenders should trust the CVSS impact metrics and Oracle's advisory text over the tag, which appears under-scoped. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has obtained or registered any low-privileged EBS account - for example, a self-service user, a former contractor, or a phished employee - sends crafted HTTP requests to the Public Sector Financials (International) module endpoints and bypasses authorization checks to perform privileged operations, ultimately gaining full takeover of the module's data and workflows. Because Oracle rates the issue as easily exploitable with AC:L and no user interaction, repeatable exploitation against an exposed instance is realistic once the patch is reverse-engineered, even though no public exploit identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jun 16, 2026
Authorization flaw in Oracle Public Sector Financials (International) versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 enables low-privileged authenticated attackers with HTTP network access to fully take over the affected component. Oracle's Critical Patch Update describes the issue as easily exploitable with high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CVSS 8.8). No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV.
RemediationAI
Apply the Oracle Critical Patch Update referenced in the June 2026 advisory at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cspujun2026.html; Oracle's CPU bundles the fix for CVE-2026-46967 across the 12.2.3-12.2.15 supported branches and specific patch numbers must be retrieved from My Oracle Support for the deployed version (exact patched build identifier not independently confirmed beyond the CPU advisory). Until the CPU is applied, restrict network reachability of the EBS application tier to trusted internal networks via firewall or WAF rules, tighten the EBS responsibility/role assignments so that low-privileged accounts cannot reach Public Sector Financials (International) menus or URLs, and increase audit logging on the FND_LOGINS/FND_LOG_MESSAGES tables to detect anomalous use of the module - note these controls reduce but do not remove exposure, since any authenticated EBS user with HTTP reachability remains a viable attack origin.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle Public Sector Financials (International) is a localization module within Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2, an on-premises ERP platform used by government and public-sector organizations for financial management. The affected component is Authorization, indicating a broken access control class of weakness (CWE-285/CWE-862-style) in which the module fails to properly verify that an authenticated user is permitted to perform a given action over HTTP. While Oracle did not publish a specific CWE and the CPE string (cpe:2.3:a:oracle_corporation:oracle_public_sector_financials_(international):*) does not enumerate sub-versions, Oracle's advisory text scopes the defect to EBS 12.2.3 through 12.2.15, meaning every supported 12.2 release line is in scope.

DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the Oracle Public Sector Financials (International) product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: Authorization). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.3-12.2.15. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Public Sector Financials (International). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle Public Sector Financials (International). CVSS 3.1 Base Score 8.8 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
Executive ViewAI
Oracle Public Sector Financials versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 contain an authorization flaw enabling low-privileged authenticated users to gain complete control over the affected system, creating direct risk to financial data integrity, system availability, and operational continuity for public sector organizations. With no patch currently available, this vulnerability requires immediate interim protective measures to prevent unauthorized manipulation of critical budgeting and financial systems. Organizations running vulnerable versions should treat this as a priority remediation item pending vendor patch release.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Restrict HTTP network access via firewall and VPN; (2) Deploy real-time alerting for unauthorized privilege escalation; (3) Enforce strong authentication policies and disable unnecessary user accounts; (4) Maintain comprehensive audit logging of all financial transactions and system access; (5) Establish offline backup procedures for critical financial data; (6) Maintain active communication with Oracle for patch availability and security guidance.
