Network HTTP reachable with low complexity and no interaction, but requires an existing low-privilege EBS account (PR:L); takeover yields full C/I/A impact within an unchanged scope.

2DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the Oracle Public Sector Payroll product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: Internal Operations). 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 Public Sector Payroll. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle Public Sector Payroll. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 8.8 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
AnalysisAI
Account takeover in Oracle Public Sector Payroll (a component of Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2.3 through 12.2.15) lets a low-privileged, network-adjacent attacker fully compromise the module over HTTP. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8 reflects complete confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, and the flaw resides in the Internal Operations component. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and it is not listed in CISA KEV; the fix ships in Oracle's Critical Patch Update for July 2026.
Technical ContextAI
The affected software is Oracle Public Sector Payroll, a payroll module within the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) applications stack, specifically the Internal Operations component. EBS is a large Java/PL-SQL enterprise resource planning platform typically fronted by an Oracle Application Server / WebLogic web tier and backed by an Oracle Database, exposing servlets and self-service HTTP endpoints. Oracle assigned no CWE (N/A) and, per its standard Critical Patch Update disclosure practice, withholds root-cause detail; the 'takeover' language combined with a low-privilege network vector is characteristic of authenticated web-tier flaws in EBS such as injection, insecure deserialization, or broken access control, but the exact weakness class is unconfirmed from the available data.
RemediationAI
Apply the fixes delivered in Oracle's July 2026 Critical Patch Update (https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html); patch available per vendor advisory, though Oracle does not publish a discrete fixed build number, so track the CPU patch for your EBS 12.2.x release train and apply it to all instances running 12.2.3 through 12.2.15. Because exploitation needs a low-privileged authenticated account, effective compensating controls until patching completes include restricting network reachability of the EBS web tier to trusted VPN/segmented networks, tightening and auditing accounts that can reach Public Sector Payroll / Internal Operations self-service pages, and enabling web-tier logging plus WAF rules in front of the EBS HTTP endpoints; the trade-off is that access restrictions may disrupt legitimate remote payroll users and a WAF cannot reliably block an authenticated abuse path. Do not rely on network controls as a substitute for the CPU patch.
