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 | The attacker must have network reachability to the Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform console over HTTPS and must hold a low-privileged OEM user account (PR:L) - anonymous unauthenticated access is not sufficient. Only OEM Base Platform versions 13.5 and 24.1 are confirmed affected, and exploitation specifically requires interaction with the Metadata Plugin component. No user interaction is required (UI:N) and attack complexity is low (AC:L). The realistic limit on exploitation is the requirement to first obtain valid OEM credentials, which is a soft control in environments that hand out operator accounts liberally. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H yields a 9.9 score driven primarily by the scope change - successful exploitation does not stop at OEM itself but extends to the database, middleware, and infrastructure targets OEM manages, which in most enterprises means crown-jewel systems. Attack complexity is low and only a low-privileged OEM account is required, which is significant because OEM environments routinely provision read-only or operator accounts to DBAs, SREs, and auditors, making the prerequisite realistic. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, no CISA KEV listing, and no EPSS score in the provided intelligence; however, the absence of public exploit code should not lower priority given OEM's role as a high-value target and the historical pattern of Oracle CPU vulnerabilities being reverse-engineered from patches. Note that the vendor's 'Information Disclosure' tag conflicts with the description's 'takeover' impact and C:H/I:H/A:H - the CVSS vector and description should be treated as authoritative over the tag. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has obtained or been granted a low-privileged OEM account - for example a junior DBA, contractor, or compromised service account - connects to the OEM console over HTTPS and sends crafted requests to the Metadata Plugin component to escalate privileges within OEM and then pivot, via OEM's trust relationships and stored credentials, to managed Oracle databases and middleware. No user interaction is required and attack complexity is low. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but Oracle CPU patches are routinely reverse-engineered, so post-patch exposure windows are realistic. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jun 16, 2026
Privileged takeover of Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform versions 13.5 and 24.1 is possible through the Metadata Plugin component, allowing a low-privileged remote attacker over HTTPS to fully compromise the platform with a scope change that impacts additional products. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.9 reflects the broad confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not currently listed in CISA KEV.
RemediationAI
Apply the patches delivered in Oracle's June 2026 Critical Patch Update (Patch available per vendor advisory) by following the bulletin at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cspujun2026.html for OEM 13.5 and 24.1 - Oracle does not publish exact post-patch build numbers in advance of CPU consumption, so confirm the specific OEM bundle patch ID against your version in My Oracle Support. Until patching is complete, restrict network reachability of the OEM console and EM Agent communication ports (typically 7799/7802) to a management VLAN or jump-host segment to remove broad HTTPS exposure, and audit/remove unnecessary low-privilege OEM accounts since PR:L is sufficient for exploitation. Avoid disabling the Metadata Plugin component as a workaround because it is a core extensibility subsystem and breaking it will impair plugin deployment, target discovery, and monitoring; segmentation and account hardening are lower-impact compensating controls.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) Base Platform is Oracle's centralized management framework for Oracle databases, middleware, engineered systems, and cloud workloads, providing monitoring, configuration, patching, and lifecycle automation. The Metadata Plugin component is part of OEM's extensibility model, used to register and process plugin metadata describing target types, jobs, and management capabilities. CWE data is not provided, but the combination of network-reachable HTTPS attack vector, low privilege requirement, and scope change strongly suggests a server-side processing flaw (such as input handling, deserialization, or authorization bypass) in the Metadata Plugin pipeline that allows an authenticated low-privilege OEM user to escalate beyond OEM's trust boundary to managed targets.

DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform product of Oracle Enterprise Manager (component: Metadata Plugin). Supported versions that are affected are 13.5 and 24.1. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via HTTPS to compromise Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform. While the vulnerability is in Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform, attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform. 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
Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform versions 13.5 and 24.1 contain a critical privilege escalation vulnerability in the Metadata Plugin that allows low-privileged attackers to achieve complete platform compromise with scope changes affecting downstream systems. No patch is currently available from the vendor, creating immediate risk for organizations operating these versions-particularly those managing multi-product Oracle environments where Enterprise Manager serves as the central management hub.
Network segmentation: restrict Enterprise Manager access to isolated management network; require multi-factor authentication for all administrative access; disable unnecessary Metadata Plugin features if operationally feasible; implement real-time alerts on Metadata Plugin API access patterns; maintain offline backups of critical configurations; establish daily audit review of platform access logs for privilege escalation indicators.
