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 the attacker to already hold high-level privileges within Oracle E-Business Suite (CVSS PR:H) - specifically administrative access to the Oracle Applications DBA product - and network reachability to the EBS application tier over HTTP (AV:N). No user interaction is needed (UI:N) and attack complexity is low (AC:L), so the operation is straightforward once the privilege and network prerequisites are satisfied. The limiting factors are the mandatory pre-existing high privileges and exposure being confined to supported versions 12.2.3-12.2.15; instances where DBA-level access is tightly controlled and the HTTP tier is network-segmented sharply reduce realistic exploitability. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, score 7.2) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity attack that nonetheless requires high existing privileges (PR:H) - the single most important mitigating factor, since the attacker must already hold elevated administrative rights within EBS. The full C:H/I:H/A:H triad and Oracle's own 'takeover' language make the technical impact total once those privileges are held. No EPSS score, KEV entry, POC, or SSVC decision data was provided, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified; the absence of KEV and public exploit code, combined with the PR:H barrier, suggests this is a real but privilege-gated priority rather than a mass-exploitable internet threat. Note a tension in the source data: the tags label this 'Information Disclosure,' but the vector and description assert full C/I/A takeover - treat the impact as full compromise per the CVSS vector and verify scope with the Oracle CPU advisory. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has already obtained a high-privileged Oracle Applications DBA account - for example a compromised administrator credential or a malicious insider - sends crafted HTTP requests to the Internal Operations component of an EBS 12.2.x instance. Leveraging the flawed operation, they escalate to full control of the Applications DBA product, reading and altering data and disrupting availability. No public POC is known, and the low attack complexity (AC:L) means the operation itself is reliable once the privilege prerequisite is met. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 22, 2026
Full compromise of the Oracle Applications DBA component (Internal Operations) in Oracle E-Business Suite versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 is possible for an authenticated, high-privileged attacker with HTTP network access, resulting in complete takeover with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. Rated CVSS 3.1 7.2 (High) by Oracle in the July 2026 Critical Patch Update. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and the flaw 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, though Oracle's CPU model does not expose a single discrete fix version in the provided data, so identify the exact patch for your 12.2.x level from the CPU patch matrix and apply the current EBS 12.2.x Release Update Pack and quarterly security patch. Because exploitation requires high EBS privileges, the strongest compensating controls are tightening administrative access: restrict and audit accounts holding DBA/Applications-DBA-level roles, enforce least privilege on Internal Operations functions, and place the EBS application tier behind network segmentation so the HTTP interface is not broadly reachable. As a trade-off, restricting the Internal Operations endpoints or DBA console access may impede legitimate administrative automation, so validate against operational workflows before enforcing.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle E-Business Suite is Oracle's flagship enterprise resource planning (ERP) suite; the affected 'Oracle Applications DBA' product is the administrative/DBA management layer within the suite, and the specific attack surface is the Internal Operations component exposed over HTTP through the EBS web/application tier. Because exploitation requires high privileges (PR:H), the root cause is most likely an improper access-control or privilege-handling weakness in an administrative operation rather than an unauthenticated input-parsing bug. Oracle did not assign a CWE (CWE: N/A) and provided no technical internals beyond the CVSS metrics, so the precise flaw class cannot be confirmed from the available data.

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 high privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Applications DBA. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle Applications DBA. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 7.2 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
Executive ViewAI
Oracle E-Business Suite (versions 12.2.3-12.2.15) contains a critical vulnerability in the DBA component that could allow authenticated high-privilege users to completely compromise the system, with full impact to data confidentiality, integrity, and operational availability. This poses an immediate risk to financial systems, operational continuity, and sensitive data protection for all affected organizations. Mitigation is urgent as no vendor patch is currently available.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include: (1) restrict HTTP network access to the DBA component's Internal Operations function to only explicitly authorized administrators; (2) remove unnecessary high-privilege access and minimize DBA-level account assignments; (3) implement enhanced audit logging and real-time monitoring of all privileged account activities; (4) enforce multi-factor authentication for all high-privilege accounts; (5) rotate administrative credentials immediately and implement credential rotation policies; (6) maintain active vendor contact for CVE-2026-61107 patch notification.
