AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Network HTTP reachable but requires an authenticated low-privilege EBS account (PR:L) and hard-to-meet preconditions (AC:H); takeover yields C:H/I:H/A:H with unchanged scope.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the Oracle Cost Management product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: Cost Maintenance). 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 Cost Management. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle Cost Management. 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).
AnalysisAI
Full compromise of Oracle Cost Management (the Cost Maintenance component of Oracle E-Business Suite) is achievable over HTTP by a low-privileged, authenticated attacker, per Oracle's July 2026 Critical Patch Update. Successful exploitation yields complete takeover with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, though Oracle rates it difficult to exploit (AC:H). There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
Technical ContextAI
Oracle Cost Management is a costing and inventory-valuation module of the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) applications stack, typically fronted by Oracle HTTP Server / Oracle Application Server and served over HTTP. The affected Cost Maintenance component is reached through the EBS web tier, meaning an authenticated EBS user with even minimal application privileges can send crafted HTTP requests to the module. No CWE was assigned (CWE: N/A) by Oracle, so the precise root-cause class (e.g., injection, broken access control, or deserialization) cannot be confirmed from the provided data; the 'takeover' outcome combined with the Information Disclosure tag suggests a flaw that escalates a low-privilege session into full control of the module's data and functions.
RemediationAI
Apply the Oracle Critical Patch Update of July 2026, which is the vendor-released fix, following the patch matrix in https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html for your EBS 12.2.x release level (an exact standalone fix version is not enumerated in the provided data beyond the CPU bundle, so patch is available per vendor advisory). Because exploitation requires an authenticated low-privilege EBS session over HTTP, interim compensating controls while patching include restricting network access to the EBS web tier and the Cost Management / Cost Maintenance URLs to trusted internal segments or VPN, tightening EBS user provisioning and removing unnecessary low-privilege application accounts, and enabling web-tier logging or WAF monitoring on Cost Management endpoints to detect anomalous requests; note that URL-level restrictions may disrupt legitimate costing users and should be scoped to the affected function pages. These workarounds are not a permanent substitute for the CPU patch.
