Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the PeopleSoft Enterprise HCM Talent Acquisition Manager product of Oracle PeopleSoft (component: Job Opening). The supported version that is affected is 9.2. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise PeopleSoft Enterprise HCM Talent Acquisition Manager. While the vulnerability is in PeopleSoft Enterprise HCM Talent Acquisition Manager, attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of PeopleSoft Enterprise HCM Talent Acquisition Manager. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 9.9 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H).
AnalysisAI
Full takeover of Oracle PeopleSoft Enterprise HCM Talent Acquisition Manager 9.2 is achievable by a low-privileged, network-based attacker abusing the Job Opening component over HTTP. Because the flaw carries a scope change (S:C), successful attacks reach beyond the Talent Acquisition module and can significantly impact additional connected PeopleSoft products. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the 9.9 CVSS and trivial exploitability make this a top-priority patch from Oracle's July 2026 Critical Patch Update.
Technical ContextAI
PeopleSoft Enterprise HCM Talent Acquisition Manager is Oracle's recruiting/applicant-tracking module within the broader PeopleSoft HCM suite, delivered over the PeopleSoft Internet Architecture (PIA) - a Java/Tuxedo web application stack fronted by HTTP. The vulnerable Job Opening component processes recruiting-requisition data submitted by authenticated users. Oracle assigns no CWE (CWE: N/A) and its advisories are intentionally sparse, but the combination of a scope-changing takeover reachable by a low-privileged HTTP user is consistent with an authorization/injection weakness in the application tier that lets a user pivot to the underlying application server context shared across PeopleSoft modules.
RemediationAI
Apply the fixes from Oracle's July 2026 Critical Patch Update (Patch available per vendor advisory; no discrete fix version is enumerated in the input beyond the CPU) as documented at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html - Oracle strongly recommends applying CPU patches without delay and treats them as the primary remediation. As compensating controls until patching completes, restrict network access to the PeopleSoft PIA/Job Opening functionality to trusted networks or VPN only (reduces the AV:N exposure at the cost of blocking remote recruiter access), tighten and audit low-privileged PeopleSoft account provisioning since exploitation requires an authenticated account (trade-off: administrative overhead), and place a WAF or reverse proxy in front of PIA to inspect and rate-limit requests to the recruiting components (trade-off: possible false positives on legitimate requisition workflows). Do not rely on these controls as a substitute for the CPU patch given the total-takeover impact.
