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 | The attacker must possess a valid low-privileged account within the Oracle E-Business Suite instance, confirmed by the CVSS PR:L metric - unauthenticated external exploitation is not possible. Network connectivity to the EBS application tier over HTTP is required (AV:N), and the Workflow Notification Mailer component must be active and accessible, which is the default configuration for EBS deployments utilizing workflow-driven business processes. No user interaction is required (UI:N) and attack complexity is Low (AC:L), meaning no race conditions or special timing windows must be exploited. Exploitation is bounded by the unchanged scope (S:U): impact is limited to Oracle Workflow's own data and service availability, not broader EBS system compromise, database access, or operating system access. The primary limiting factor is the authentication requirement - any attacker lacking a valid EBS credential cannot exploit this vulnerability directly. |
| Impact | The vendor-assigned CVSS 3.1 score of 6.3 (Medium) is grounded in a favorable-for-attackers vector: network reachable (AV:N), low complexity (AC:L), low privilege required (PR:L), no user interaction (UI:N), and unchanged scope (S:U) - but impact is bounded at partial across all three CIA dimensions (C:L/I:L/A:L). No EPSS score was available in the provided intelligence, limiting probabilistic exploitation estimation. The vulnerability is absent from CISA KEV and no public proof-of-concept code is referenced, which meaningfully reduces near-term exploitation likelihood. However, AC:L means that once an attacker holds any valid EBS credential - which in large enterprise environments can include thousands of internal users or federated external portal users - the exploitation path is mechanically simple. Oracle EBS environments often hold sensitive financial, HR, and supply chain data, so even partial read and write access to workflow records may have disproportionate business impact relative to the CVSS score. The absence of a CWE prevents confident assessment of exploitability nuances such as memory safety implications or chaining potential. No conflicting signals exist in available data, but the missing CWE and lack of EPSS are notable data gaps. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with any low-privileged EBS account - such as a standard employee self-service user or a compromised service account - sends crafted HTTP requests to the Workflow Notification Mailer endpoint on the EBS application tier. The attacker reads a subset of in-flight workflow records (e.g., pending approvals or notification payloads), inserts or modifies workflow data to alter approval outcomes or inject content, and can partially degrade Workflow service availability for other users. No public proof-of-concept code has been identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 22, 2026
Oracle Workflow's Notification Mailer component within E-Business Suite 12.2.3-12.2.15 is exploitable by network-authenticated low-privileged users to partially read, modify, and disrupt workflow data over HTTP without user interaction. The CVSS 3.1 score of 6.3 (Medium) reflects constrained but multi-dimensional CIA impact (C:L/I:L/A:L) with low attack complexity, making exploitation straightforward for any valid EBS account holder. No confirmed active exploitation (CISA KEV) or public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis; remediation is available through the Oracle Critical Patch Update for July 2026.
RemediationAI
Apply the Oracle Critical Patch Update for July 2026, announced at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html; the specific patch number and installation instructions are available through My Oracle Support (MOS) for each EBS 12.2.x sub-release - Oracle does not publicly disclose exact patched version identifiers. If immediate patching is not feasible, restrict network-layer access to the EBS application tier's HTTP listener to authorized internal IP ranges only, reducing external attack surface while noting this will not block exploitation by internal users with valid credentials. Additionally, Oracle EBS function security can be used to limit which responsibility profiles have access to Workflow administration interfaces, reducing the pool of accounts capable of reaching the Notification Mailer component - though this trade-off may impair legitimate workflow processing for restricted users. No vendor-published workaround was identified in available references.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle Workflow is an embedded process automation and routing engine bundled with Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) 12.2.x, used to orchestrate approval chains, notifications, and business events across EBS modules. The Workflow Notification Mailer is a server-side background service responsible for sending and receiving email-based workflow notifications, processing inbound responses, and updating workflow item statuses via an HTTP-accessible interface. The affected version range spans EBS 12.2.3 through 12.2.15, a multi-year release window covering the majority of actively supported EBS 12.2 deployments. No CWE classification was provided by Oracle, which precludes definitive root-cause categorization; however, the multi-dimensional partial impact profile combined with a low-privilege network vector is consistent with an authorization control weakness or insufficient input validation within the mailer's HTTP-facing interface. The attack surface is the EBS application tier's HTTP listener rather than the database layer directly.

DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the Oracle Workflow product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: Workflow Notification Mailer). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.3-12.2.15. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Workflow. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle Workflow accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle Workflow accessible data and unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of Oracle Workflow. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 6.3 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L).
