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 that a person other than the attacker actively interacts with the malicious HTTP request - most likely by clicking an attacker-crafted link or visiting a page that issues the request on their behalf (UI:R is mandatory per the CVSS vector). The attacker requires no authentication (PR:N) and no special network position beyond standard HTTP access to the OAM authentication endpoint. The vulnerability is present in default-supported deployments of OAM 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0 with no non-default configuration required. Exploitation is limited to the confidentiality and integrity planes (C:L/I:L); no availability impact is possible. The human interaction requirement prevents fully automated, worm-style propagation. Environments where the OAM authentication portal is not internet-facing reduce attacker reach but do not eliminate insider or phishing-driven risk vectors. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.1 (Medium) reflects a meaningful but bounded risk profile: network-accessible (AV:N), low complexity (AC:L), no required privileges (PR:N), but dependent on victim interaction (UI:R), with limited confidentiality and integrity impact (C:L/I:L/A:N). The scope change (S:C) is the most significant amplifying factor - OAM acting as an SSO gateway means exploitation could affect all applications federating authentication through it, not just OAM itself. No EPSS score was provided in the source data, so probabilistic exploitation likelihood cannot be quantified here. No CISA KEV listing and no public POC code have been identified, which reduces urgency for emergency patching but does not eliminate risk given OAM's position in identity infrastructure. The UI:R requirement is a meaningful limiting factor: mass exploitation is infeasible without a social engineering component. Environments using OAM as the authentication front-end for sensitive internal applications should treat this as elevated priority despite the moderate base score, given the scope change potential. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker crafts a malicious URL targeting Oracle Access Manager's login or authentication redirect endpoint, embedding a reflected payload in a query parameter processed by the Authentication Engine. The attacker delivers this URL to a legitimate OAM user via phishing email or a compromised third-party site; when the victim clicks the link and their browser processes the authentication response, the injected content executes in the context of the OAM session, potentially exfiltrating session tokens, authentication artifacts, or injecting content into downstream applications sharing the SSO scope. No public POC has been identified, but the low attack complexity (AC:L) suggests the technique would not require advanced skill once the injection point is identified. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 22, 2026
Unauthorized read and write access to Oracle Access Manager data is achievable by unauthenticated remote attackers through a network-accessible HTTP attack against the Authentication Engine component, affecting versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0. The vulnerability carries a scope change, meaning successful exploitation can impact products beyond Oracle Access Manager itself - consistent with an authentication-layer flaw such as open redirect or reflected cross-site scripting that can compromise dependent applications sharing the SSO context. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and this CVE is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
RemediationAI
Apply the patches distributed as part of Oracle's Critical Patch Update for July 2026, available at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html. Oracle does not publish granular patched version strings independently of the CPU; the advisory is the authoritative reference for obtaining and applying the fix. No exact patched version number is independently confirmed beyond the CPU advisory reference. If immediate patching is not feasible, consider implementing a Web Application Firewall (WAF) rule set targeting the OAM authentication endpoint to detect and block reflected parameter injection patterns - note this may cause false positives on legitimate SSO redirects and requires tuning. Additionally, restricting external access to the OAM authentication portal to known IP ranges reduces exposure by limiting the attacker's ability to deliver malicious links to users originating from untrusted networks, though this does not eliminate risk from phishing scenarios where victims initiate requests themselves.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle Access Manager (OAM) is an enterprise identity and access management platform within the Oracle Fusion Middleware stack, responsible for centralized authentication, single sign-on (SSO), and policy enforcement across downstream applications. The affected component is the Authentication Engine - the subsystem that handles credential collection, session establishment, and authentication flow routing via HTTP. The CPE string (cpe:2.3:a:oracle_corporation:oracle_access_manager:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) confirms the flaw spans all sub-versions within the two named release branches. No CWE is assigned in the advisory, but the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L) is structurally consistent with a client-side injection class such as reflected XSS or open redirect embedded in the login/authentication flow, which would explain the mandatory user interaction, scope change, and split confidentiality/integrity impact without any availability component. Oracle tags this as an Authentication Bypass, suggesting the injection may allow manipulation of authentication state or session tokens visible to the browser.

DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the Oracle Access Manager product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: Authentication Engine). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Access Manager. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and while the vulnerability is in Oracle Access Manager, attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle Access Manager accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle Access Manager accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 6.1 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N).
