MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation 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 already possess a valid low-privilege logon to the infrastructure where Oracle E-Business Tax executes (CVSS PR:L, AV:L) - it is not exploitable by an unauthenticated remote attacker over the network. The affected deployment must run Oracle E-Business Suite E-Business Tax at a version between 12.2.3 and 12.2.15. Limiting factors: mandatory local access confines exploitation to users or attackers who have already obtained an account or foothold on the host; there is no user-interaction requirement (UI:N) and attack complexity is low (AC:L), so once local access exists, exploitation is straightforward. |
| Impact | The signals point to a moderately-high but access-gated risk. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N, C:H/I:H/A:H, base 7.8) shows that once an attacker holds any low-privilege logon to the infrastructure, exploitation is easy (AC:L), needs no user interaction, and yields complete compromise of the module. The decisive mitigating factor is AV:L: this is not remotely exploitable by an anonymous network attacker, so mass internet-facing exploitation is unlikely. No EPSS score, SSVC decision, or POC indicator was provided, and the CVE is absent from CISA KEV, so there is no evidence of active or automatable exploitation - practical priority is high where many users hold host/application logons and lower where such access is tightly restricted. Oracle's own 'easily exploitable' phrasing aligns with AC:L and is credible as a vendor statement. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who already holds a low-privilege application or OS logon on a server running Oracle E-Business Tax leverages the flaw locally, with no user interaction, to escalate to full control of the module. From there they can read, alter, or destroy tax and financial data, breaking the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of E-Business Tax. No public proof-of-concept was identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 22, 2026
Local privilege-driven takeover in Oracle E-Business Tax (a component of Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2.3 through 12.2.15) lets a low-privileged attacker who can log on to the host infrastructure fully compromise the E-Business Tax module. Oracle rates it CVSS 3.1 7.8 with complete confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact and describes it as easily exploitable. No public exploit was identified at time of analysis, and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
RemediationAI
Apply the fixes delivered in the Oracle Critical Patch Update of July 2026 (https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html) - Patch available per vendor advisory; an exact standalone fix version was not included in the source data, so identify the specific patch for your 12.2.x level from the CPU matrix. Because exploitation requires a local logon, effective compensating controls until patching include tightly restricting and auditing interactive and application logon accounts on E-Business Tax hosts, enforcing least privilege for application and OS users, and monitoring for anomalous local activity by low-privilege accounts; the trade-off is operational overhead and possible disruption to legitimate batch or operations users if access is curtailed too aggressively. Given full CIA impact, prioritize patching hosts where many users hold logon rights.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle E-Business Suite is a large enterprise ERP/financials platform; the E-Business Tax module (component: Internal Operations) centralizes tax determination, calculation, and reporting across the suite's financial applications. The CVSS vector (AV:L) indicates the flaw is reached through the local infrastructure rather than the network, meaning the attacker leverages an existing foothold or account on a host where E-Business Tax executes. No CWE was assigned in the source data (CWE: N/A), so the precise root-cause class - e.g., improper authorization, injection, or insecure internal-operations handling - cannot be confirmed from the provided intelligence; Oracle's language ('takeover' with only low privileges required) is consistent with a privilege-escalation or authorization weakness inside the module.

DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the Oracle E-Business Tax 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 E-Business Tax executes to compromise Oracle E-Business Tax. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle E-Business Tax. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 7.8 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
Executive ViewAI
Oracle E-Business Tax (versions 12.2.3-12.2.15) contains a local privilege escalation vulnerability allowing any user with host-level access to completely compromise the tax module, exposing financial data and disrupting tax operations. With no vendor patch available, immediate access restrictions are critical to prevent insider exploitation.
Restrict host-level access via OS access control lists and SSH key management; enable audit logging of privilege escalation attempts; implement endpoint detection for abnormal process execution and credential access; network-segment E-Business Tax systems; establish rapid incident response procedures for suspected local compromise; require periodic recertification of who needs host access.
