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 | Exploitation requires an authenticated, low-privileged Oracle E-Business Suite account (PR:L) with HTTP network access to the EBS web tier hosting the Cost Management module, specifically the Cost Maintenance component. Oracle rates the vulnerability difficult to exploit (AC:H), indicating additional conditions outside the attacker's control - such as specific application state, timing, or configuration - must be met, which meaningfully limits real-world exploitation. No user interaction is needed (UI:N). The affected deployment must be EBS 12.2.3 through 12.2.15; releases outside that range and unauthenticated external attackers without an EBS login are not in scope per the CVSS vector. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.5 (High) with vector AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H. Two mitigating signals stand out: high attack complexity (AC:H), meaning exploitation depends on conditions outside the attacker's control or significant effort, and required low privileges (PR:L), meaning the attacker must already hold a valid EBS account. Offsetting these, the triple-high impact (C:H/I:H/A:H) equals full module takeover, the vector is network-reachable (AV:N), and no user interaction is needed (UI:N). No EPSS score, SSVC decision, KEV listing, or POC was provided, so real-world exploitation probability cannot be quantified - the absence of these signals suggests a vendor-disclosed issue not yet observed being exploited rather than an active threat. Net assessment: a real but not emergency priority for organizations running EBS, warranting inclusion in the standard Oracle CPU patch cycle rather than out-of-band response. Note that the 'Information Disclosure' tag versus the 'takeover' description language is a minor inconsistency - verify exact impact with Oracle. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has obtained or been granted a low-privilege Oracle EBS account authenticates to the application's web tier and sends specially crafted HTTP requests to the Cost Maintenance functionality of Oracle Cost Management. By meeting the difficult-to-satisfy preconditions (AC:H), the attacker escalates from limited access to full takeover of the module, reading and altering costing data and disrupting availability. No public proof-of-concept is known at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 21, 2026
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.
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.

Technical ContextAI · show details
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.

DescriptionCVE.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).
Executive ViewAI
Oracle Cost Management within Oracle E-Business Suite (CVE-2026-46941) is vulnerable to complete system compromise by any authenticated user, directly threatening the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of critical financial cost data and reporting systems. Without an available vendor patch, this high-severity vulnerability requires immediate access restrictions and enhanced monitoring to prevent unauthorized control of a system central to budgeting, cost allocation, and financial decision-making.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: restrict Cost Management access to internal networks only and require VPN for remote access; enforce principle of least privilege by limiting active user accounts to those with documented business need; deploy and actively monitor comprehensive audit logs and alerting for all authentication events and system configuration changes; consider temporary operational restrictions or read-only access for non-critical cost functions; implement network-based intrusion detection and prevention systems configured to detect exploitation of this vulnerability.
