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 | Exploitation requires network HTTP access to the Oracle E-Business Suite Advanced Benefits Internal Operations component and a valid low-privileged EBS account (CVSS PR:L) - it is not fully unauthenticated despite the reporter's 'Authentication Bypass' tag, which conflicts with the vector. No user interaction is needed (UI:N) and attack complexity is low (AC:L). Limiting factors: the attacker must already possess low-level credentials and be able to reach the EBS HTTP endpoints, so deployments that restrict Advanced Benefits/Internal Operations access to trusted internal networks and tightly scope low-privilege roles materially reduce realistic exposure. Only supported version 12.2.15 is named as affected. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:H/A:N, base 7.7) describes an easily exploitable, network-reachable flaw requiring only low privileges and no user interaction, with high integrity impact and a scope change - a genuine concern for internet- or intranet-exposed EBS deployments where many users hold low-privilege accounts. However, no EPSS score, KEV listing, POC, or SSVC data was provided, so there is no evidence of active exploitation: this is a high-CVSS issue without confirmed real-world weaponization. Note a signal conflict: the CVSS vector states PR:L (a valid low-privilege account is required), yet the reporter tag labels this 'Authentication Bypass', which would imply no valid credentials - the PR:L vector should be treated as authoritative unless Oracle clarifies otherwise. Confidentiality and availability are unaffected (C:N/A:N), so the practical risk is data tampering/integrity, not data theft or outage. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who holds any low-privileged EBS account (or obtains one via phishing/credential reuse) sends crafted HTTP requests to the Advanced Benefits Internal Operations component and abuses missing authorization to create, alter, or delete benefits and related critical data. Given the scope change, the tampering can ripple into other EBS products or shared platform data. No public exploit code has been identified, and no user interaction is required (UI:N). |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 21, 2026
Unauthorized data manipulation in Oracle Advanced Benefits 12.2.15 (Oracle E-Business Suite, Internal Operations component) lets a low-privileged attacker with HTTP network access create, delete, or modify critical data. Because the CVSS vector carries a scope change (S:C), successful attacks can significantly impact additional products beyond Advanced Benefits itself. The flaw is rated CVSS 3.1 7.7 with integrity-only impact (I:H, C:N, A:N); no public exploit is identified at time of analysis, and it was disclosed via Oracle's July 2026 Critical Patch Update.
RemediationAI
Apply the fixes in the Oracle Critical Patch Update of July 2026 (https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html), which is the vendor advisory addressing this issue for Oracle Advanced Benefits 12.2.15 - treat this as Patch available per vendor advisory, as the input does not enumerate an exact post-patch build number. Because Oracle EBS CPUs are cumulative, install the corresponding EBS 12.2 patch bundle for July 2026 as prescribed by Oracle. As compensating controls until patching, restrict network access to the EBS Internal Operations/Advanced Benefits endpoints to trusted internal networks or VPN only, tighten authorization so low-privilege accounts cannot reach Advanced Benefits functions, and increase auditing/monitoring of create/delete/modify operations on benefits data; the trade-off is that access restrictions may disrupt legitimate self-service HR/benefits users and require careful role review before enforcement.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle Advanced Benefits is a Human Capital Management module within Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS), a large web-based enterprise ERP/HR platform typically fronted by Oracle HTTP Server/Application Server and an Oracle database backend. The affected 'Internal Operations' component is reachable over HTTP, consistent with the AV:N vector. Oracle did not assign a CWE (CWE: N/A), but the integrity-only impact combined with the reporter-supplied 'Authentication Bypass' tag suggests an access-control or authorization weakness (broadly CWE-284/CWE-285 class) allowing a low-privileged session to perform actions on data it should not reach. The scope change (S:C) indicates the vulnerable component can affect resources managed by other EBS products or the underlying platform.

DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the Oracle Advanced Benefits product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: Internal Operations). The supported version that is affected is 12.2.15. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Advanced Benefits. While the vulnerability is in Oracle Advanced Benefits, attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or all Oracle Advanced Benefits accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 7.7 (Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:H/A:N).
Executive ViewAI
Oracle Advanced Benefits 12.2.15 (E-Business Suite) contains a data integrity vulnerability allowing authenticated users with low system privileges to create, delete, or modify critical payroll and benefits records; no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The vulnerability's scope change creates risk of cascade impact to dependent HR and finance systems, potentially affecting employee data accuracy and regulatory compliance.
Restrict network access to Advanced Benefits module to authorized administrator networks only; implement maximum-restrictive role-based access control (RBAC) limiting write privileges; enable comprehensive audit logging for all data modifications with real-time alerting; establish continuous data integrity validation comparing production records to authoritative payroll system; implement segregation of duties preventing single users from both modifying data and managing access rules.
