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 | Exploitation requires an authenticated but only low-privileged PeopleSoft account (PR:L) with HTTP network access to the Talent Acquisition Manager's Job Opening component of PeopleSoft Enterprise HCM version 9.2; no user interaction and no high privileges are needed (AC:L, UI:N). The limiting factors that reduce real-world risk are the requirement for valid credentials on the PIA and network reachability of the recruiting module - an internet-exposed PeopleSoft portal makes this readily exploitable, whereas deployments that restrict PIA access to internal/VPN users and tightly control account provisioning meaningfully raise the bar. The specific affected version is 9.2 only. |
| Impact | All available signals point to genuine high priority rather than inflated scoring. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H, 9.9) indicates network reach, low attack complexity, only low privileges, no user interaction, a scope change, and total confidentiality/integrity/availability impact - Oracle itself flags it as 'easily exploitable.' The one mitigating factor is PR:L: an attacker needs some level of authenticated access (a valid low-privileged PeopleSoft account), which reduces the fully-anonymous internet-worm risk. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no POC were provided, so there is no confirmation of active exploitation or public exploit code; the 'Information Disclosure' tag understates the true takeover impact reflected in the CVSS I/A metrics. The main uncertainty is CWE (N/A) and the lack of technical detail from Oracle, which is normal for CPU advisories but limits root-cause certainty. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who holds or phishes a low-privileged PeopleSoft HCM account logs into the Internet-facing PIA and sends crafted HTTP requests to the Talent Acquisition Manager's Job Opening component. Exploiting the flaw, they escalate from ordinary user to full control of the module and, via the scope change, pivot into the shared application environment to compromise connected PeopleSoft products, exfiltrating HR/PII data and altering or disabling services. No public POC is currently known, but the low complexity means exploit development would be straightforward once technical details surface. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 22, 2026
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.
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.

Technical ContextAI · show details
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.

DescriptionCVE.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).
Executive ViewAI
Oracle PeopleSoft Enterprise HCM Talent Acquisition Manager 9.2 is vulnerable to a critical flaw enabling attackers to gain complete control of your talent management system with potential spillover to payroll and benefits platforms. The threat is particularly acute because low-privilege accounts can trigger exploitation, and no vendor patch is currently available. Urgent mitigation is required to protect business-critical HR systems and sensitive employee data during this interim period.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Implement network segmentation to restrict access to the Job Opening component and Talent Acquisition Manager module; deploy enhanced monitoring with real-time alerting for suspicious access and privilege escalation attempts; apply intrusion detection signatures specific to CVE-2026-61076; configure application-layer access controls limiting module functionality to only verified business-critical operations; and maintain expedited vendor communication to confirm patch timeline and interim fix availability.
