MITRE ATT&CK
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 | Exploitation requires network access to the Oracle Identity Manager Connector over HTTP and possession of at least a low-privileged account on the OIM instance (CVSS PR:L), with no user interaction and low attack complexity. The affected deployments are specifically Connector versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0 of Oracle Fusion Middleware. Limiting factors: the attacker must already authenticate as a low-privileged user (this is not unauthenticated access), and the OIM Connector HTTP interface must be reachable from the attacker's position - instances isolated to internal management networks materially reduce exposure. The exact triggering feature or configuration is not specified because no CWE was assigned and Oracle does not publish exploitation details. |
| Impact | The signals point to genuinely high priority but with important caveats. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity attack needing only low privileges and no user interaction, yielding full CIA impact plus a scope change - hence the 9.9 score. However, several corroborating signals are absent: no EPSS score was provided, the CVE is not in CISA KEV, and no POC or exploit code was identified, so real-world exploitation is not demonstrated. There is no SSVC decision data supplied. The PR:L requirement is a meaningful limiter - an attacker must first hold at least a low-privileged account on the OIM instance - so this is not blind unauthenticated RCE despite the near-maximum score. Net: treat as a critical patch-now item because of the product's sensitivity (it holds credentials to many downstream systems), while recognizing that the elevated score is driven partly by scope change and that no active exploitation is confirmed. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has obtained a low-privileged OIM account (for example a self-service or delegated user credential) sends crafted HTTP requests to the Identity Manager Connector Core interface to abuse the flaw and take over the connector. Leveraging the scope change, the attacker then pivots to the privileged credentials and downstream target systems the connector manages, impacting identity data across additional products. No public POC exists at time of analysis, so an attacker would need to develop the exploit independently. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 22, 2026
Privilege escalation to full takeover in Oracle Identity Manager Connector (Fusion Middleware Core component) versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0 lets a low-privileged attacker with HTTP network access fully compromise the connector, with a scope change that lets the attack significantly impact other products. Oracle rates it CVSS 3.1 9.9 (Critical) with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, so exploitation status is currently theoretical based on the vendor's July 2026 Critical Patch Update disclosure.
RemediationAI
Apply the fixes in Oracle's July 2026 Critical Patch Update (https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html), which is the vendor-released patch for the affected 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0 Connector versions; Oracle does not publish an isolated fixed version number, so 'Patch available per vendor advisory' via the CPU is the correct target. Because exploitation requires a low-privileged authenticated session and HTTP reachability, interim compensating controls while patching include restricting network access to the OIM Connector/administration endpoints to trusted management networks or a VPN (trade-off: may disrupt legitimate remote provisioning integrations), tightening and auditing low-privilege OIM account provisioning and disabling unused or stale accounts to shrink the pool of accounts that meet the PR:L prerequisite, and increasing monitoring of Connector provisioning/reconciliation activity for anomalous privileged actions. Given the scope-change impact, also review and rotate credentials that OIM Connectors hold for downstream target systems if compromise is suspected.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle Identity Manager (OIM) is the identity governance and administration component of Oracle Fusion Middleware, and Connectors are the integration modules that provision and reconcile identities/entitlements between OIM and external target systems (Active Directory, databases, SaaS apps, etc.). The flaw sits in the Connector 'Core' component and is reachable over HTTP, meaning it is exposed through OIM's web-facing management/provisioning interfaces. No CWE was assigned by NVD, so the precise weakness class (e.g., access-control bypass, injection, or deserialization) is not specified in the available data; the CVSS scope-change flag (S:C) indicates the vulnerable component can affect resources beyond its own security authority - consistent with an identity broker that holds privileged credentials for downstream systems it provisions.

DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the Oracle Identity Manager Connector product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: Core). 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 Oracle Identity Manager Connector. While the vulnerability is in Oracle Identity Manager Connector, attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle 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
Critical privilege escalation in Oracle Identity Manager Connector (CVE-2026-60531, CVSS 9.9) allows low-privileged attackers to fully compromise identity management systems; no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but currently unpatched status creates extreme organizational risk. Affected versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0 require immediate isolation and access restrictions to prevent authentication bypass and lateral movement across dependent enterprise systems.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: restrict network access to the connector to trusted internal networks only and deny all external HTTP connections; implement network segmentation to isolate the connector from less-critical systems; disable the service if operationally feasible; deploy intrusion detection signatures to monitor for exploitation attempts; establish real-time alerting on failed authentication and privilege escalation events; require multi-factor authentication on all downstream systems consuming identity services; conduct daily security reviews of connector access logs and privilege actions.
