| Exploitation Conditions | The attacker must have an active local logon to the operating system or application infrastructure where Oracle Applications DBA executes (AV:L) - remote unauthenticated exploitation is not possible. A low-privileged account (PR:L) is sufficient; no administrative or DBA-level credentials are required to initiate the attack. The vulnerability is in the Internal Operations subcomponent of Oracle Applications DBA within E-Business Suite versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 - versions outside this range are not confirmed affected. The 'Authentication Bypass' tag suggests that while PR:L is the baseline requirement, the flaw may allow that low-privileged user to circumvent internal authorization controls that would otherwise restrict access to sensitive DBA operations or data. No user interaction is required (UI:N) and no special non-default configuration is stated as a prerequisite - any standard deployment of the affected EBS versions on a host accessible to low-privileged users is potentially exposed. Limiting factors: exploitation is constrained to actors with local system access; no integrity or availability impact limits the damage to data confidentiality only. |
| Impact | The NVD CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.5 (Medium) is technically accurate but may understate operational risk in EBS environments. The AV:L vector limits exposure to actors with local infrastructure access - reducing internet-facing attack surface - yet in large enterprises Oracle EBS application servers are frequently accessed by a broad pool of users, DBAs, and service accounts, widening the realistic attacker pool. The AC:L and UI:N combination, combined with Oracle's own 'easily exploitable' classification, means no exploit sophistication is required once local access is established. The S:C (Scope Changed) metric and C:H (High Confidentiality) rating are the most operationally significant signals: data exfiltration can extend beyond the Oracle Applications DBA process itself to other Oracle EBS subsystems, potentially exposing financial records, HR data, or application credentials depending on what the DBA component can access. No EPSS score was provided in the source data, and no KEV listing exists, so exploitation probability from threat intelligence signals is unconfirmed. The 'Authentication Bypass' tag implies that even the low-privilege prerequisite (PR:L) may be further weakened - a low-privileged user may be able to bypass internal authentication controls to impersonate higher-privileged DBA operations. The absence of a CWE classification and limited reference detail reduce analytical confidence. This is a medium-severity finding that should be prioritized in EBS environments with multi-tenant or broad internal user access. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with a low-privileged OS or application account on the Oracle E-Business Suite infrastructure host - such as a developer, junior DBA, or compromised service account - triggers the authentication bypass flaw within the Internal Operations component of Oracle Applications DBA. Without requiring any elevated credentials or user interaction, the attacker reads critical data accessible to the DBA component, potentially including database credentials, application configurations, or business data, and the scope change allows this access to cascade into co-located Oracle EBS subsystems. No public proof-of-concept code has been identified, but Oracle's own 'easily exploitable' classification suggests the attack path does not require advanced tooling. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 22, 2026
Local privilege abuse in Oracle Applications DBA (E-Business Suite component: Internal Operations) allows a low-privileged authenticated user with local system access to achieve full confidentiality compromise of DBA-accessible data, with scope change enabling impact on additional Oracle products beyond the directly targeted component. Affected versions span 12.2.3 through 12.2.15, covering a broad range of the E-Business Suite 12.2 release train. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, but Oracle's own advisory classifies the vulnerability as 'easily exploitable,' lowering the bar for threat actors with local infrastructure access.
RemediationAI
Apply Oracle's Critical Patch Update (CPU) for July 2026, available at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html. Oracle CPU patches for E-Business Suite 12.2 are applied via the AD/TXK online patching mechanism; consult Oracle Support for the specific patch number associated with CVE-2026-60761. An exact patched version number was not independently confirmed from the available reference data - validate the specific patch ID through Oracle My Oracle Support before deployment. As a compensating control prior to patching, restrict local logon access to the infrastructure hosts running Oracle Applications DBA to only authorized DBAs and administrators, reducing the pool of potential low-privileged attackers. Audit OS-level and application-level user accounts on EBS application and database tier hosts to identify over-provisioned accounts. Monitoring Internal Operations component activity via Oracle Unified Auditing or EBS audit trails may detect anomalous data access patterns indicative of exploitation.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle Applications DBA (AD/TXK) is an administrative infrastructure component of Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS), responsible for patch application, database tier management, and internal operations within the EBS stack. The vulnerability resides specifically in the Internal Operations subcomponent. The CVSS vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C) indicates a local attack requiring only low-privilege OS-level or application-level access with no complexity barrier and no user interaction - consistent with a flaw in how privileged operations or credentials are managed internally within the DBA tooling. The Scope:Changed metric confirms that successful exploitation transcends the Oracle Applications DBA trust boundary and can affect co-located Oracle components or adjacent database processes. No CWE is formally assigned, but the 'Authentication Bypass' tag from intelligence sources suggests an access control failure in the Internal Operations processing path - where a low-privileged principal can assume elevated data access rights without proper authorization checks.

DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the Oracle Applications DBA product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: Internal Operations). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.3-12.2.15. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle Applications DBA executes to compromise Oracle Applications DBA. While the vulnerability is in Oracle Applications DBA, 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 Applications DBA accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 6.5 (Confidentiality impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N).
