1 technique across 1 tactic: Initial Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | The exploitable prerequisite is network HTTP access to an Oracle Access Manager instance running the Authentication Engine on affected versions 12.2.1.4.0 or 14.1.2.1.0 - the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) indicates no authentication, no user interaction, and low complexity against reachable instances. Limiting factors that reduce realistic risk: the target OAM authentication/SSO endpoints must be network-reachable by the attacker (internal-only or VPN-gated deployments substantially shrink exposure), and only the two named supported versions are confirmed affected. The scope change (S:C) means impact is not limited to OAM itself but can extend to products that rely on it for authentication, so downstream exposure depends on which applications trust the compromised OAM instance. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N, base 8.6) describes an easily exploitable, network-facing, unauthenticated attack with a scope change and high confidentiality impact but no integrity or availability impact - consistent with credential/token bypass leading to data disclosure rather than destructive compromise. The scope change (S:C) is the key aggravator: OAM is an identity broker, so bypassing it can expose downstream applications, which raises real priority for internet- or intranet-exposed SSO endpoints. Countervailing signals: no EPSS score was provided, the CVE is not in CISA KEV, and no POC or in-the-wild exploitation is indicated, so this is currently a high-severity-by-vector issue without confirmed active exploitation. Missing data to note explicitly: no CWE, no EPSS, no SSVC decision, and no CPE - so automatability and technical-impact framing are inferred from the CVSS vector alone and should be verified against the Oracle July 2026 CPU advisory. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with only network reachability to the OAM HTTP endpoints sends crafted authentication requests to the Authentication Engine and obtains access without valid credentials, then reads protected data or pivots into applications that trust OAM for SSO. No user interaction or prior authentication is required per the CVSS vector, and the scope change means downstream OAM-protected resources may also be reached. No public POC is identified at time of analysis, so exploitation would currently require independent research. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 22, 2026
Unauthenticated authentication-bypass in Oracle Access Manager (Fusion Middleware Authentication Engine, versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0) lets a remote attacker over HTTP compromise the identity/SSO tier and read all data it can access. Because of a CVSS scope change, successful attacks can significantly impact other products that rely on OAM for authentication, magnifying the blast radius. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and this CVE is not listed in CISA KEV; risk is driven by the low-complexity, no-authentication network vector (CVSS 3.1 base 8.6).
RemediationAI
Apply the fixes from the Oracle Critical Patch Update of July 2026 (Patch available per vendor advisory; no exact fixed build number is given in the input) documented at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html, prioritizing the affected 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0 deployments - do not invent a version number, obtain the exact patch level from the CPU matrix. Until patched, reduce exposure by restricting network access to the OAM authentication endpoints and administration console to trusted networks or a VPN, placing OAM/WebGate behind a WAF or reverse proxy that can filter anomalous authentication requests, and monitoring authentication logs for sessions issued without corresponding successful credential validation; note the trade-off that tightening access to the SSO tier can disrupt federated or remote logins if trusted-network ranges are scoped too narrowly. Because OAM is an identity broker with a scope-changing flaw, also review and rotate downstream trust material (session/OAuth tokens) after patching.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle Access Manager is the centralized authentication, single sign-on (SSO), and access-control component of Oracle Fusion Middleware, commonly fronting Oracle applications (WebGate/OHS-protected resources) and enterprise identity federation. The flaw sits in the Authentication Engine, the subsystem that validates credentials and issues session/authentication tokens; the Oracle-supplied 'Authentication Bypass' tag indicates the engine can be tricked into granting access without valid credentials rather than a memory-safety defect. No CWE was assigned in the input, but the behavior maps to the CWE-287/CWE-290 (Improper Authentication / Authentication Bypass) class. No CPE strings were supplied; affected products are identified only from the Oracle/ENISA version list (12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0).

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. 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 access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle Access Manager accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 8.6 (Confidentiality impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N).
Executive ViewAI
Oracle Access Manager (OAM) versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0 contain a critical unauthenticated authentication bypass allowing remote attackers to compromise your organization's identity and SSO layer without any credentials. While no public exploit identified at time of analysis, the vulnerability requires only network access to trigger, making all systems relying on OAM for authentication immediately at risk. No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis, leaving this an unmitigated threat to your authentication infrastructure's integrity.
Restrict network access to OAM via firewall rules and IP whitelisting to authorized systems only; implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block authentication bypass attempts; enable comprehensive audit logging and real-time alerting on OAM authentication endpoints; consider rotating service account credentials that access OAM; evaluate and prepare temporary authentication failover to alternate directory services if available as an emergency contingency.
