| Exploitation Conditions | The victim must be an authenticated Oracle HRMS (Japanese) user - typically an HR administrator or payroll operator - with an active HTTPS session to Oracle E-Business Suite at the time of the attack. The attacker must successfully induce this authenticated user to interact with a malicious link or page (UI:R), consistent with phishing, spear-phishing, or watering-hole delivery. The targeted EBS instance must be running Oracle Payroll Japanese component on versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 and must be reachable from the attacker's network over HTTPS. No special non-default configuration is described as required. Exploitation is limited by: (1) the mandatory human-interaction step, which prevents fully automated scanning/exploitation; (2) the Japan-specific payroll component, which narrows the population of deployments; and (3) network reachability - if the EBS instance is internal-only, an external attacker must first gain network access. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 score of 5.4 (Medium) reflects a genuinely moderate risk: the attack is low-complexity and requires no privileges (PR:N), but is gated on human interaction (UI:R) - meaning it cannot be fully automated at scale without a phishing or social-engineering step. The 'Authentication Bypass' tag is somewhat misleading given PR:N in the vector; the more accurate framing is that the attacker bypasses the need for their own credentials by hijacking an active victim session, not that authentication itself is broken at the server. Impact is bounded to Confidentiality:Low and Integrity:Low with no Availability impact, limiting the blast radius to data manipulation rather than system compromise. EPSS data was not provided in the input and cannot be estimated without it. No KEV listing and no POC code have been identified, indicating this is not under active widespread exploitation. Real-world priority is moderate for Japan-region Oracle EBS deployments: the data at risk (payroll records) is sensitive, but exploitation requires targeting a logged-in HR or payroll administrator, narrowing the realistic attacker pool to those capable of spear-phishing specific users. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker crafts a malicious webpage or email link embedding a forged HTTPS request targeting the Oracle Payroll Japanese endpoint - for example, a hidden form submission or image tag that triggers a data-modification action. When a logged-in HR administrator visits or clicks the link, their active EBS session is used to execute the request, allowing the attacker to read or tamper with payroll records without ever possessing valid credentials. No public proof-of-concept code has been identified, making this scenario speculative but consistent with the CVSS vector and Authentication Bypass tag. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 22, 2026
Cross-site or session-riding exploit in Oracle HRMS (Japanese) - specifically the Oracle Payroll Japanese component within Oracle E-Business Suite versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 - allows unauthenticated remote attackers to manipulate HR and payroll data by deceiving an authenticated user into triggering a malicious HTTPS request. The attack results in unauthorized read access to a subset of HR data and unauthorized insert, update, or delete operations against Oracle HRMS (Japanese) accessible records. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, but the unauthenticated-yet-user-interaction-required attack pattern and Authentication Bypass tag strongly suggest a client-side vector such as CSRF or reflected XSS targeting active user sessions.
RemediationAI
Apply the Oracle Critical Patch Update (CPU) for July 2026, available at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html, which addresses this vulnerability in Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2.x. Oracle does not publish granular fix version strings outside of CPU patch documentation - consult the CPU advisory for exact patch IDs and application instructions. No confirmed specific patched sub-version is independently verifiable from the available data. As a compensating control while patching is in progress, restrict access to the Oracle Payroll Japanese web endpoints to trusted internal networks or VPN, reducing the attack surface for external HTTPS-based CSRF or XSS vectors. Additionally, enforce user security awareness so that HR and payroll personnel do not click unverified external links while authenticated to Oracle EBS. Implementing Content Security Policy (CSP) headers at the Oracle HTTP Server or load-balancer tier can reduce XSS exploitability, though this requires testing against EBS compatibility. Restricting JavaScript execution via browser security policies is a lower-friction interim measure.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) is Oracle's integrated enterprise resource planning suite; the Japanese HRMS and Payroll sub-module handles localized HR, payroll calculation, and employee records for Japan-region deployments. The CWE is not formally assigned in the available data, but the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U) combined with the 'Authentication Bypass' tag is characteristic of CWE-352 (Cross-Site Request Forgery) or CWE-79 (XSS), where an unauthenticated attacker does not need their own credentials but instead leverages the existing authenticated session of a victim user. Access is over HTTPS, consistent with EBS's standard web-tier deployment via Oracle Application Server or Oracle HTTP Server. Affected CPE covers Oracle EBS 12.2.3 through 12.2.15, all of which share the same Payroll Japanese component codebase.

DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the Oracle HRMS (Japanese) product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: Oracle Payroll Japanese). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.3-12.2.15. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTPS to compromise Oracle HRMS (Japanese).

Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle HRMS (Japanese) accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle HRMS (Japanese) accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 5.4 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N).
