Vulnerability Assessment

Weakness
CWE
MITRE ATT&CK

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

The attacker must hold a valid, low-privileged Oracle E-Business Suite user account (PR:L) with network access to the EBS application tier via HTTP. No specific non-default configuration is required beyond a standard Oracle EBS 12.2.3-12.2.15 deployment with the Workflow Notification Mailer component active, which is a default component in most EBS installations. No victim user interaction is needed. Exploitation is limited by: (1) mandatory authentication - unauthenticated attackers cannot exploit this flaw; (2) scope is unchanged, so post-exploitation impact is confined to Oracle Workflow data only, not the broader EBS database or OS; (3) all confidentiality/integrity/availability impacts are rated Low, meaning individual exploit instances produce limited data exposure or disruption rather than full system compromise.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.3 (Medium) reflects a realistic moderate risk: all three impact dimensions (confidentiality, integrity, availability) are rated Low, and the scope is unchanged, meaning no lateral movement to other systems is implied. The attack complexity is Low and no user interaction is required, which lowers the effort bar for exploitation. However, privileges required is Low (PR:L), meaning the attacker must have at minimum a basic authenticated EBS session - this is a meaningful limiting factor in environments with strict user provisioning. No EPSS score was provided in the available data, and this CVE has not appeared in CISA's KEV catalog, suggesting no confirmed in-the-wild exploitation. No POC code has been identified. The real-world risk is moderate: Oracle EBS environments are high-value targets in enterprise networks, and any authenticated user (including compromised service accounts) could leverage this. The partial DoS capability and data manipulation potential in a business-critical workflow system could be operationally disruptive even at the 'Low' impact rating. SSVC framing: exploitation is not yet active, the flaw appears automatable given AC:L, and technical impact is partial - this maps to a 'Track' posture for most defenders, escalating to 'Attend' if EBS is internet-facing or the user base is large.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An authenticated Oracle EBS user - such as a low-privileged employee or a compromised service account - sends a crafted HTTP request to the Workflow Notification Mailer endpoint over the internal network. Requiring no additional interaction from other users and no elevated permissions, the attacker manipulates or reads workflow notification data and intermittently disrupts the notification processing pipeline, potentially stalling approval workflows. No public exploit code exists at time of analysis, so exploitation requires independent discovery of the specific flaw.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jul 22, 2026

Oracle Workflow's Notification Mailer component in Oracle E-Business Suite versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 is compromised by a low-privileged, network-accessible attacker via HTTP, yielding partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts. Exploitation requires no user interaction, making it straightforward for any authenticated EBS user to abuse this flaw. Disclosed as part of Oracle's July 2026 Critical Patch Update, no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

Apply Oracle's July 2026 Critical Patch Update (CPU), available via My Oracle Support. The advisory is published at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html. Oracle does not publicly disclose an exact patched version number in this disclosure - consult My Oracle Support Note for the specific patch ID applicable to your EBS 12.2.x release. As a compensating control pending patching, restrict network access to the EBS application tier so that only authorized internal hosts can reach HTTP endpoints associated with the Workflow Notification Mailer; this does not eliminate risk from insider threats or compromised internal accounts but reduces the exposed attack surface. Additionally, audit and minimize the number of active EBS user accounts with Workflow-related roles, as PR:L exploitation requires at minimum a valid low-privileged session. Note that restricting Workflow Notification Mailer HTTP access may interrupt automated email notification delivery - test in non-production before applying.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Oracle Workflow is the workflow automation engine embedded in Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS), responsible for routing business processes, approvals, and event notifications. The Workflow Notification Mailer is the sub-component that generates and dispatches email-based workflow notifications, operating over HTTP within the EBS application tier. Affected product scope spans Oracle Workflow 12.2.3 through 12.2.15, the full range of currently supported EBS 12.2 releases. No CWE is assigned by Oracle, which is typical of Oracle CPU disclosures where root-cause classification is withheld. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L) indicates a straightforward, low-complexity, network-reachable flaw exploitable by any authenticated EBS user without elevated privileges or victim interaction.

DescriptionCVE.org

Vulnerability in the Oracle Workflow product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: Workflow Notification Mailer). 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 Workflow. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle Workflow accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle Workflow accessible data and unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of Oracle Workflow. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 6.3 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L).
