CWE
MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Attacker must hold a low-privileged account (PR:L) that can reach the Identity Manager Connector's SSH interface over the network, and the target must be running Identity Manager Connector 12.2.1.4.0 or 14.1.2.1.0 with the Generic Unix Connector component deployed and reachable. No user interaction is required (UI:N) and complexity is low (AC:L), so the only meaningful limiters are network reachability of the connector's SSH endpoint and possession of any valid low-tier credential - both of which are routinely satisfied inside an enterprise IAM deployment. |
| Impact | Signals are uniformly elevated: CVSS 3.1 is 9.9 with AV:N, AC:L, PR:L, UI:N and S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H, meaning a single set of low-tier credentials over the network is enough for a non-interactive, cross-scope full compromise. No EPSS score, KEV listing, SSVC decision, or POC was supplied in the input - absence of these does not imply low risk, only that exploitation telemetry is not yet published; Oracle CPU vulnerabilities of this severity historically attract reverse-engineering against the patch within weeks. One data tension worth flagging: the description specifies the attack vector as SSH, which is typically modeled as network in CVSS, but defenders should confirm whether the SSH endpoint is the OIM connector's own listener or the downstream Unix target - that distinction changes which network segment must be hardened. Treat as a top-priority patch in any environment running OIM Connector 12.2.1.4.0 or 14.1.2.1.0. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An insider or a foothold-holding attacker who has obtained any low-privilege account that can reach the OIM Connector over SSH authenticates to the connector and abuses the flaw to seize control of the connector process; because the connector stores privileged credentials for every managed Unix host and runs within Fusion Middleware, the attacker then pivots to mass-provision rogue accounts on downstream targets or extracts target-system credentials, realizing the S:C scope change. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the low attack complexity and Oracle's own 'easily exploitable' wording suggest a working exploit is well within reach of a competent researcher once the CPU patch is diffed. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jun 16, 2026
Privilege escalation to full takeover in Oracle Identity Manager Connector (Fusion Middleware) allows a low-privileged remote attacker with SSH network access to compromise the Generic Unix Connector and pivot into additional Fusion Middleware components via a CVSS scope change. Versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0 are affected, with Oracle rating the issue 9.9 due to high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact across product boundaries. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the AV:N/AC:L profile and SSH-reachable attack surface make this a high-priority Oracle CPU item.
RemediationAI
Apply the Oracle Critical Patch Update for June 2026 (Patch available per vendor advisory at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cspujun2026.html) to Identity Manager Connector 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0 - Oracle does not publish standalone fix version strings outside the CPU bundle, so the CPU release itself is the authoritative remediation. Until the CPU can be applied, restrict network reachability of the OIM Connector SSH interface to a dedicated management VLAN or jump host, rotate and tier-isolate the low-privilege service accounts that can reach the connector (since PR:L is the entire barrier to exploitation), and increase audit logging on SSH sessions to and from the connector and on any target Unix systems it manages; the trade-off is that tightening service-account scope can temporarily break legitimate provisioning workflows, so coordinate with the IAM operations team before pulling credentials.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle Identity Manager (OIM) Connectors are the integration adapters that let OIM provision, reconcile, and manage accounts on downstream target systems; the Generic Unix Connector specifically uses SSH to push user/account operations to Linux and Unix endpoints. Because the connector authenticates to remote systems with privileged service credentials and runs inside the Fusion Middleware/WebLogic stack, a flaw in its SSH-facing logic sits at a trust boundary between the IAM control plane and managed hosts. The CVSS scope change (S:C) indicates the vulnerable component (the connector) can affect resources beyond its own security authority - consistent with abusing the connector's stored target-system credentials or its host WebLogic context. No CWE was assigned by the reporter, so the precise weakness class (command injection, deserialization, auth bypass, etc.) is not disclosed in the Oracle advisory metadata.

DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the Identity Manager Connector product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: Generic Unix Connector). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via SSH to compromise Identity Manager Connector. While the vulnerability is in Identity Manager Connector, attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Identity Manager Connector. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 9.9 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H).
Executive ViewAI
A critical privilege escalation vulnerability in Oracle Identity Manager Connector allows attackers to seize complete administrative control of Fusion Middleware systems, compromising the foundational identity and access management infrastructure that guards business applications and data. Organizations running versions 12.2.1.4.0 or 14.1.2.1.0 face immediate risk of unauthorized access, credential compromise, and lateral movement into downstream systems. No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis, making urgent operational controls essential.
Restrict SSH network access to Oracle Identity Manager Connector systems using IP allowlisting and deny all other network access. Implement network segmentation to isolate affected systems from other Fusion Middleware components. Deploy enhanced logging and real-time alerting for authentication events, privilege escalation attempts, and account modifications. Enforce strong authentication including multi-factor authentication for all access to affected systems. Mandate credential rotation for all privileged accounts with access to these systems. Establish daily log review procedures for suspicious activity on affected systems.
