Weakness
CWE
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 (a) network HTTP reachability to the Oracle Identity Manager Connector instance running the Mainframe Connectors component on version 12.2.1.4.0 or 14.1.2.1.0, and (b) valid credentials for any low-privileged account that the connector accepts (PR:L), with no user interaction needed (UI:N) and low attack complexity (AC:L). Limiting factors: deployments that expose the connector only to internal OIM hosts behind network segmentation, sites already on a fixed CPU level, and environments where the low-privileged role surface is tightly scoped will materially reduce the realistic attack surface.

Impact

Signals converge on high real-world risk: AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N means a single low-privileged HTTP session is enough, S:C reflects impact on downstream identity-connected systems (mainframes, target apps), and C:H/I:H/A:H means complete takeover. EPSS and CISA KEV data were not provided, so exploitation probability and active-exploitation status are unknown, and no public PoC was found at time of analysis - so this is currently a 'patch urgently because of impact and ease', not a 'patch because attackers are already using it'. Note one inconsistency to verify: Oracle tags it 'Information Disclosure' but the CVSS shows full CIA impact and 'takeover' wording, so the tag understates the true severity and should not be relied on for triage.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who has obtained any low-privileged OIM account (e.g., via phishing of a helpdesk user) sends crafted HTTP requests to the Mainframe Connector endpoint and abuses the flaw to take over the connector process. Because of the scope change, the attacker then leverages the connector's standing privileges to create or elevate accounts on the downstream mainframe identity source, achieving persistent privileged access to systems the connector trusts.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jun 16, 2026

Account takeover in Oracle Identity Manager Connector (Fusion Middleware, Mainframe Connectors component) versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0 allows an authenticated low-privileged attacker to fully compromise the connector over HTTP and pivot to other products via a CVSS scope change. The flaw carries a 9.9 CVSS 3.1 score with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact; no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and CISA KEV does not list it.

RemediationAI

Apply Patch available per vendor advisory - install the June 2026 Oracle Critical Patch Update fixes for Identity Manager Connector 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0 as listed at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cspujun2026.html. Until patching, restrict network reachability of the connector's HTTP endpoint to OIM servers and trusted administration hosts only (network ACLs or reverse-proxy allow-lists), which removes the AV:N exposure but breaks any out-of-zone provisioning agents; tighten OIM connector account roles so no low-trust users hold the low-privilege role that satisfies PR:L, accepting that this may interrupt delegated administration workflows; and increase audit logging on connector provisioning operations to detect post-compromise changes to mainframe identity stores.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Oracle Identity Manager (OIM) Connectors are the integration layer between OIM and target systems; the Mainframe Connectors subcomponent bridges OIM with legacy mainframe identity stores (e.g., RACF, ACF2, Top Secret) over HTTP-based provisioning APIs. Because the connector mediates identity provisioning and de-provisioning, compromise effectively grants control over downstream identity sources, which is why Oracle scores it with Scope:Changed. The CWE was not assigned by the reporter, so the precise root cause class (e.g., authorization bypass, injection, deserialization) cannot be confirmed from the published advisory; the CPE string cpe:2.3:a:oracle_corporation:identity_manager_connector covers all releases, but Oracle limits the affected list to 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0.

DescriptionCVE.org

Vulnerability in the Identity Manager Connector product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: Mainframe Connectors). 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 HTTP 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

Why It Matters

A critical vulnerability in Oracle Identity Manager Connector (versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0) allows low-privileged users to hijack any user account within the connector and pivot to downstream identity-dependent systems. Organizations using affected versions face immediate risk to user access controls and downstream application integrity.

Business Impact: Severe
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Restrict network access to affected connectors via segmentation and firewall rules; (2) Require mutual TLS and client certificate authentication on all connector connections; (3) Disable low-privileged user direct access to connector administration interfaces; (4) Deploy behavioral analytics to detect unusual account takeover patterns (mass permission grants, cross-system logon bursts); (5) Enforce principle of least privilege for all service accounts running the connector; (6) Implement strict access controls on identity sync operations.
