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 the attacker to already have logon access to the infrastructure host where Oracle Commerce Guided Search / Experience Manager (Endeca Application Controller) runs, and to hold at least low privileges on that system (CVSS PR:L, AV:L). What limits exploitation: it cannot be triggered remotely over the network without first obtaining a local account, no unauthenticated path is indicated by the CVSS vector, and only version 11.4.0 with the Endeca Application Controller component is confirmed affected. What does NOT limit it: no user interaction is required and attack complexity is low, so any qualifying low-privileged local principal can exploit it against an affected default install. Note the 'Authentication Bypass' tag suggests a weaker precondition, but this is not corroborated by the CVSS vector and should be verified with Oracle before relying on it. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N) describes a locally-exploitable, low-complexity issue requiring an existing low-privilege foothold with logon access to the host, no user interaction, and no availability impact - high confidentiality and integrity impact but scope unchanged. This is a serious post-access privilege/data-exposure issue, not a remotely wormable one: the AV:L requirement substantially limits mass exploitation, which is consistent with the absence of a KEV listing and no known POC. EPSS was not provided. There is a notable conflict: the 'Authentication Bypass' tag implies unauthenticated network access, whereas the authoritative CVSS vector says local + low privilege - the CVSS/Oracle vector should be trusted over the free-text tag, and the tag should be verified against Oracle's advisory. Overall this is a real 'patch on the next maintenance window' priority for organizations running Endeca 11.4.0, but the local-only vector keeps it below the tier reserved for network-exploitable, unauthenticated critical flaws. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who already holds a low-privileged account on the server hosting the Endeca Application Controller - for example a compromised service or operator login - invokes the vulnerable EAC functionality to read and tamper with all data the application can access, exfiltrating merchandising/catalog data and altering or deleting critical records. Because attack complexity is low and no user interaction is needed, exploitation is straightforward once local logon is obtained. No public POC has been identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 22, 2026
Unauthorized data compromise in Oracle Commerce Guided Search / Experience Manager 11.4.0 (Endeca Application Controller) allows a low-privileged local attacker with logon access to read, create, modify, or delete all data accessible to the product. The flaw carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.1 (C:H/I:H, no availability impact) and is described by Oracle as 'easily exploitable.' No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and it is not listed in CISA KEV; it was disclosed in the Oracle Critical Patch Update of July 2026.
RemediationAI
Apply the fixes bundled in the Oracle Critical Patch Update of July 2026 as documented at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html; Oracle CPUs deliver the patch as a bundled quarterly release rather than a distinct version tag, so treat 'apply the July 2026 CPU for Oracle Commerce Guided Search 11.4.0' as the primary fix (no standalone fixed version number was provided in the source data, so do not assume one). Until the CPU is applied, reduce exposure by restricting interactive/logon access to the hosts running the Endeca Application Controller to a minimal set of trusted administrators, tightening OS-level accounts and removing unnecessary low-privilege local logins (side effect: may disrupt operators or automation that legitimately log on to the EAC host), and by network-segmenting the Endeca management infrastructure away from general user access. Because the vector is local (AV:L), host access controls are the most effective compensating control while patching is scheduled.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected component is the Endeca Application Controller (EAC), the management and provisioning layer of Oracle Commerce Guided Search (formerly Endeca), a faceted search and merchandising engine used to power product discovery on e-commerce sites. The EAC coordinates indexing (Forge/Dgraph/MDEX engine operations), deployment, and administrative provisioning tasks, typically over its own management services on the application infrastructure host. No CWE was assigned by NVD; the reporter tag labels this an 'Authentication Bypass,' but the CVSS metrics (PR:L, local vector) instead indicate that an already-authenticated low-privileged local principal escalates to full read/write over the product's data domain rather than bypassing authentication from an unauthenticated position. This discrepancy should be treated cautiously - see risk assessment.

DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the Oracle Commerce Guided Search / Oracle Commerce Experience Manager product of Oracle Commerce (component: Endeca Application Controller). The supported version that is affected is 11.4.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle Commerce Guided Search / Oracle Commerce Experience Manager executes to compromise Oracle Commerce Guided Search / Oracle Commerce Experience Manager. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or all Oracle Commerce Guided Search / Oracle Commerce Experience Manager accessible data as well as unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle Commerce Guided Search / Oracle Commerce Experience Manager accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 7.1 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N).
Executive ViewAI
Oracle Commerce Guided Search / Experience Manager 11.4.0 (Endeca Application Controller) contains a privilege escalation vulnerability allowing low-privileged local users to read, create, modify, or delete all data accessible to the product. Organizations operating this version face risk of unauthorized data breach and integrity compromise from any employee or local system access holder. No vendor patch is available; interim access controls are critical.
Restrict local system logon capability to authorized personnel only; enforce segregation of system accounts by role; implement enhanced logging and monitoring of local authentication events and product data access; disable unnecessary local user accounts; conduct audit of current local access to systems running this product; consider isolated network segments for systems containing sensitive data; monitor vendor communications for patch availability.
