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 | The vulnerability is in the Oracle Access Manager Authentication Engine and is reachable by an unauthenticated attacker over HTTP; per the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) there are no special conditions - remote unauthenticated exploitation is possible against affected Oracle Access Manager 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0 instances whose OAM authentication endpoints are network-reachable. The practical limiting factor is exposure: the target OAM instance must be reachable by the attacker over HTTP, so instances confined to trusted internal networks or fronted by restrictive proxies are materially harder to reach. Only the two listed supported versions are stated as affected. No authentication, no user interaction, and no non-default configuration are required by the CVSS metrics. |
| 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 HIGH) is a strong exploitation signal: network attack vector, low complexity, no privileges, and no user interaction mean a remote unauthenticated attacker can trigger it against exposed instances, and the scope change amplifies impact to connected products. Impact is confidentiality-only (C:H, I:N, A:N) - this is a data-exposure/access issue, not a code-execution or availability threat. No EPSS score, KEV listing, or POC was supplied, so there is no evidence of active exploitation or public weaponization at this time; the risk is currently driven by the high exploitability profile rather than confirmed in-the-wild activity. Given OAM's role as an internet-facing SSO gateway in many deployments, this should be treated as a high-priority patch despite the absence of a published exploit. No SSVC or EPSS decision data was provided to further refine automatability. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with only network access sends crafted HTTP requests to an internet-exposed Oracle Access Manager Authentication Engine and bypasses authentication, obtaining access to protected data without any credentials or user interaction. Leveraging OAM's role as an SSO trust anchor (scope change), the attacker then reaches confidential data in downstream applications that rely on OAM for access decisions. No public POC is currently identified, but the low-complexity, no-privilege vector makes reliable exploitation plausible once details emerge. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 22, 2026
Unauthenticated authentication-bypass in Oracle Access Manager (Oracle Fusion Middleware, Authentication Engine) versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0 lets a remote attacker reach protected data over HTTP without credentials. Because the scope changes, a successful attack can pivot beyond OAM itself and compromise other products that rely on it for single sign-on, exposing critical data across the integrated environment. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; Oracle addressed the flaw in its July 2026 Critical Patch Update.
RemediationAI
Apply the fixes delivered in the Oracle 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 branches; consult that advisory for the exact patch/bundle identifiers for your version, as the input does not enumerate a discrete fixed build number. Until patching completes, reduce exposure by restricting network reachability of the OAM Authentication Engine - place OAM behind a VPN or reverse proxy, limit HTTP access to trusted networks, and block direct internet exposure of the authentication endpoints, accepting that this may disrupt external SSO flows and federated partners. Increase monitoring of OAM authentication logs for anomalous unauthenticated access to protected resources. Because scope change means downstream applications trust OAM's decisions, also review session and access logs on integrated products for signs of unauthorized data access.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle Access Manager is Oracle's enterprise access-management and single sign-on component within Oracle Fusion Middleware, brokering authentication and session establishment for downstream web applications and services. The defect resides in OAM's Authentication Engine, the subsystem that validates identities and issues session tokens, and is tagged as an Authentication Bypass - meaning an attacker can obtain access decisions or protected data without presenting valid credentials. No CWE is assigned in the source data, but the behavior is consistent with an improper-authentication / access-control weakness (CWE-287/CWE-284 class). Because OAM sits as a trust anchor for other applications, the CVSS scope-change flag (S:C) reflects that a compromise of the engine breaches the security boundary of the systems it protects.

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 versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0 are vulnerable to an authentication bypass allowing unauthenticated remote access to sensitive data and pivoting through the SSO infrastructure to compromise other connected systems. This threatens the organization's entire authentication infrastructure and all dependent systems; while no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, the vulnerability's critical nature demands immediate patch deployment.
