Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires an authenticated low-privilege account on the Oracle E-Business Suite instance (CVSS PR:L) with HTTP network access to the Oracle HRMS (UK) / UK Payroll component, and the affected EBS version must be in the 12.2.3-12.2.15 range. No user interaction is required and attack complexity is low. The key limiting factor is that the attacker must already possess valid (even minimal) EBS credentials plus network reachability to the HRMS web tier - it is not an unauthenticated remote compromise despite the 'Authentication Bypass' tag, so environments that tightly control EBS account provisioning and expose the application only internally materially reduce realistic risk.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N, base 7.1) indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity attack that requires some authentication (PR:L) and no user interaction, yielding high confidentiality loss and limited integrity impact with no availability effect. Oracle rates it 'easily exploitable,' which aligns with AC:L. Weighing all signals: no EPSS score was provided, there is no CISA KEV listing, and no public POC was identified, so real-world exploitation pressure appears lower than the 7.1 score alone might suggest - this reads as a real-but-not-emergency priority. One tension to flag explicitly: the input tag says 'Authentication Bypass' yet the CVSS vector states PR:L (privileges required), so this is more accurately a privilege/authorization escalation available to any low-level authenticated EBS user than an unauthenticated bypass - verify the exact access requirement against Oracle's advisory. Because EBS payroll stores highly sensitive PII and salary data, the confidentiality impact is business-significant even without confirmed active exploitation.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A low-privileged but legitimately authenticated Oracle EBS user (for example, an ordinary self-service employee account) sends crafted HTTP requests to the UK Payroll component and reaches payroll records they are not entitled to, reading salary, tax, and personal data across the organization and altering some records. Because attack complexity is low and no user interaction is needed, a single insider or a phished/compromised low-level account is sufficient; no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jul 21, 2026

Sensitive data disclosure in Oracle HRMS (UK) UK Payroll, part of Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2.3 through 12.2.15, lets a low-privileged attacker with HTTP network access read all HRMS-accessible data and modify some of it. The flaw is exploitable by an authenticated user (CVSS 3.1 PR:L) and carries a base score of 7.1 with high confidentiality and low integrity impact. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, though Oracle E-Business Suite payroll modules are high-value targets holding PII and financial data.

RemediationAI

Apply Oracle's July 2026 Critical Patch Update (CPU), which contains the fix for this issue; consult https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html for the exact patch and version applicable to your EBS 12.2.x installation, as no standalone fix version was published in the input beyond the CPU itself (Patch available per vendor advisory). Until the CPU is applied, reduce exposure by restricting network reachability of the EBS/HRMS web tier to trusted internal networks or VPN rather than the public internet, tightening role and responsibility assignments so low-privilege accounts cannot reach UK Payroll functions, and increasing auditing of payroll data access - note that restricting responsibilities may disrupt legitimate HR users and is only a stopgap, not a substitute for patching. Do not rely on network filtering alone, because the attack requires only an authenticated low-privilege session.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Oracle HRMS (UK) is the human-resources and UK-specific payroll module of Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS), Oracle's flagship on-premises ERP platform. The affected UK Payroll component runs within the EBS application tier and is reached over HTTP through the EBS web front end, which fronts an Oracle Database backend. Oracle did not assign a CWE (listed N/A), so the precise root-cause class is unconfirmed; the supplied 'Authentication Bypass' tag combined with the CVSS PR:L requirement points to a broken access-control / authorization weakness where an already-authenticated low-privilege user can reach payroll data and functions beyond their intended entitlement, rather than a fully unauthenticated bypass. No CPE strings were provided, so the exact affected configurations rely on Oracle's version list of 12.2.3 to 12.2.15.

DescriptionCVE.org

Vulnerability in the Oracle HRMS (UK) product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: UK Payroll). 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 HRMS (UK). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle HRMS (UK) accessible data as well as unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle HRMS (UK) accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 7.1 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N).

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Oracle HRMS UK Payroll within E-Business Suite versions 12.2.3-12.2.15 contains a vulnerability allowing low-privileged attackers to read all HRMS-accessible data, including sensitive payroll and employee personally identifiable information. This affects any organization running these specific Oracle E-Business Suite versions and creates direct financial and regulatory compliance exposure through the compromise of payroll records and employee data.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Implement network access controls restricting HRMS module HTTP access, enforce multi-factor authentication for HRMS users, deploy database activity monitoring for unauthorized access detection, and apply least-privilege database account restrictions.
