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 | Exploitation requires network access to the Oracle iRecruitment HTTP interface plus a valid low-privilege account (CVSS PR:L) - it is authenticated, not fully anonymous, despite the 'Authentication Bypass' tag; the vector's PR:L means the attacker must already be able to log in at a low level. Only Oracle E-Business Suite deployments running iRecruitment versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 with the Internal Operations component reachable are affected. Limiting factors: an account is needed (though in EBS this bar is low where self-registration or broad internal access exists), the impact is confined to iRecruitment-accessible data (scope unchanged), and there is no availability impact. No user interaction and low attack complexity mean that, given a credential and network path, no special non-default configuration is required. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N) describes a genuinely high-severity, low-friction issue: network-reachable over HTTP, low attack complexity, no user interaction, and only a low-privilege account needed - a low bar in EBS environments where many internal users or self-registered applicants hold accounts. Confidentiality and integrity are fully impacted (availability is not). No EPSS score was provided in the input, and the CVE is not listed in CISA KEV, so there is no evidence of active exploitation; likewise no POC was reported, so this is not confirmed weaponized. The main tension in the data is the 'Authentication Bypass' tag versus PR:L in the vector - the vector clearly requires an existing low-privilege credential, so treat this as authenticated authorization abuse, not fully unauthenticated bypass; verify the exact privilege prerequisite against Oracle's advisory. Given EBS's exposure in enterprise environments and the low exploitation bar, this warrants prompt patching even absent public exploit code. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who holds or self-registers a low-privilege iRecruitment account (for example, an external applicant or a rank-and-file internal user) sends crafted HTTP requests to Internal Operations functionality and, through the authorization weakness, reaches records and actions outside their entitlement. They exfiltrate sensitive recruiting/candidate data and tamper with or delete iRecruitment records. No public exploit code has been reported, and low attack complexity with no user interaction means the technique, once known, requires little effort to repeat. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 22, 2026
Unauthorized data access and manipulation in Oracle iRecruitment (Oracle E-Business Suite, Internal Operations component) versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 lets a low-privileged, network-adjacent attacker read, create, delete, or modify all iRecruitment-accessible data over HTTP. The high CVSS 3.1 score of 8.1 reflects complete confidentiality and integrity compromise of the module with only a low-privilege account required and no user interaction. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and it is not on CISA KEV; the vendor-supplied fix ships in the Oracle Critical Patch Update of July 2026.
RemediationAI
Apply the fix delivered in the Oracle Critical Patch Update of July 2026 (Patch available per vendor advisory; no discrete fixed EBS point-release version was stated in the input) - consult https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html and its linked patch documents for the exact patch numbers matching your 12.2.x level. Oracle CPUs are cumulative, so applying the current CPU also remediates prior fixes. As interim compensating controls until patching, restrict network reachability of the iRecruitment pages - for example, place the iRecruitment external/self-service URLs behind a WAF or reverse proxy with tightened access rules, disable or limit external/anonymous applicant self-registration if that responsibility is not needed, and review and minimize the responsibilities/roles that grant iRecruitment access to low-privilege accounts; note these controls may block legitimate external applicants and reduce recruiting functionality, so they are stopgaps rather than substitutes for the patch.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle iRecruitment is the recruiting/applicant-tracking module of Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS), a large Java/PL-SQL enterprise ERP application served over HTTP/HTTPS via the Oracle Application Server tier and backed by the EBS database. The affected code lives in the 'Internal Operations' component. Oracle assigned no CWE, but the vendor-supplied tag 'Authentication Bypass' combined with the CVSS PR:L metric points to a broken access-control / authorization flaw: an authenticated low-privilege EBS user can reach functionality or data that should be restricted, escalating horizontally or vertically within iRecruitment rather than defeating authentication entirely. Because impact spans C:H and I:H with scope unchanged (S:U), the exposure is bounded to data and functions accessible through the iRecruitment module itself.

DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the Oracle iRecruitment 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 network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle iRecruitment. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or all Oracle iRecruitment accessible data as well as unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle iRecruitment accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 8.1 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N).
Executive ViewAI
Oracle iRecruitment (versions 12.2.3-12.2.15) contains a vulnerability enabling authenticated low-privileged users to read, create, delete, and modify all recruitment data without restriction, with a CVSS score of 8.1. This threatens confidentiality and integrity of candidate information, creates potential regulatory exposure for data handling, and risks operational disruption to recruitment processes.
Restrict iRecruitment module network access via firewall rules to authorized users and networks only; limit user accounts with iRecruitment privileges to essential personnel with documented business justification; implement continuous monitoring and alerting for suspicious iRecruitment data access, creation, deletion, and modification activities; conduct immediate access reviews of low-privileged user accounts with iRecruitment privileges.
