Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires a valid low-privilege account on the target Oracle E-Business Suite instance (CVSS PR:L) with HTTP access to the Oracle HRMS (UK) application tier - it is NOT anonymous or unauthenticated. The affected deployment must be running EBS 12.2.3-12.2.15 with the UK Payroll component of Oracle HRMS installed and reachable. No user interaction is needed (UI:N) and attack complexity is low (AC:L), so once a low-privilege account and network path exist, no special configuration toggle is required. Limiting factors: the mandatory pre-existing authenticated account, the UK-localized Payroll module must actually be deployed (a UK-specific HRMS install, not universal across all EBS customers), and network reachability of the EBS tier to the attacker.

Impact

The signals are moderate and internally consistent rather than alarming. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:L) shows a network-reachable, low-complexity attack requiring only low privileges and no user interaction, with high integrity impact but no confidentiality loss and only partial availability impact - hence the 7.1 base score. The critical mitigating factor is PR:L: the attacker must already hold a valid (even minimal) EBS/HRMS account, which limits this to insiders or attackers who have already obtained credentials, not anonymous internet attackers. No EPSS score, KEV listing, POC, or SSVC decision data was provided, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified; the absence of KEV and public exploit code suggests this is not under active exploitation. Net: a real integrity concern for organizations running EBS with many low-trust payroll users, but not an emergency 'drop everything' issue - prioritize within the normal Oracle CPU patch cycle unless untrusted users have HRMS access.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A disgruntled employee or a contractor holding a low-privilege Oracle EBS account - or an external attacker who has phished such credentials - sends crafted HTTP requests to the UK Payroll functions of Oracle HRMS. Exploiting the missing authorization check, they modify or delete critical payroll records (for example altering pay or bank details) and can partially disrupt the HRMS service. No public POC is known, but the low attack complexity means a knowledgeable insider could reproduce it with standard browser/HTTP tooling.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jul 22, 2026

Data tampering and partial denial of service in Oracle HRMS (UK) - the UK Payroll component of Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 - lets a low-privileged, authenticated attacker with HTTP network access create, modify or delete critical HRMS data and partially degrade the service. Oracle rates it CVSS 3.1 7.1 and describes it as 'easily exploitable' (AC:L), meaning any account holder on the EBS instance can abuse it. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, so exploitation is currently theoretical rather than observed.

RemediationAI

Apply the fixes in the Oracle July 2026 Critical Patch Update (https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html); Oracle addresses EBS flaws through cumulative CPU patches applied to the 12.2 application tier, so install the current CPU patch level for your EBS 12.2 release rather than a single point version - an exact standalone fix version was not published in the source data (Patch available per vendor advisory). Until patching, reduce exposure by tightening HRMS/Payroll responsibility and menu assignments so only trusted staff hold accounts that can reach the UK Payroll functions (this directly counters the PR:L requirement, at the cost of an administrative review of role grants), and restrict network reachability of the EBS application tier to trusted corporate networks/VPN rather than exposing it to the broader internet (may inconvenience remote or self-service users). Increase auditing on payroll data changes to detect unauthorized modification while the patch is scheduled.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Oracle HRMS (UK) is the United Kingdom localization of Oracle's Human Resources Management System, delivered as a module within Oracle E-Business Suite; the affected code is specifically the UK Payroll component. EBS is a large web-based ERP platform whose modules are reached over HTTP through the EBS application tier (Oracle HTTP Server / WebLogic front end) against a shared Oracle database. Because the flaw permits unauthorized modification of 'critical data or all Oracle HRMS (UK) accessible data,' the root cause is most consistent with a broken access control / missing authorization check (CWE-862/CWE-284 class) in a payroll servlet or page, though the CWE was not populated (N/A) in the source data and cannot be confirmed. No CPE strings were supplied; affected products are identified only from the Oracle CPU text and the ENISA EUVD record.

DescriptionCVE.org

Vulnerability in the Oracle HRMS (UK) product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: UK Payroll). 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 HRMS (UK). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or all Oracle HRMS (UK) accessible data and unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of Oracle HRMS (UK). CVSS 3.1 Base Score 7.1 (Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:L).

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Oracle E-Business Suite HRMS (UK) in versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 contains a vulnerability allowing any authenticated user to tamper with critical payroll and HR records, directly threatening compensation accuracy and employee data integrity. Although no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, the absence of a vendor patch creates immediate risk requiring interim protective controls for mission-critical payroll operations.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include: restrict HTTP network access to HRMS components to whitelisted IP ranges, require multi-factor authentication for all HRMS user access, implement real-time monitoring and alerts on HRMS data modifications (particularly payroll fields), enforce application-level workflow approvals for all HRMS changes, segregate duties so that payroll modification and approval require separate users, and enable database-level audit logging with retention for compliance review.
