Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires network access to the Oracle EBS HTTP interface and a low-privileged authenticated account (CVSS PR:L), targeting the Oracle HRMS (US) US Payroll Year End component on supported versions 12.2.3-12.2.15; no user interaction is needed (UI:N) and attack complexity is low (AC:L, 'easily exploitable' per Oracle). Limiting factors: an existing valid EBS credential is needed (this is not confirmed pre-authentication despite the 'Authentication Bypass' tag, which conflicts with PR:L and should be verified with Oracle), the EBS HRMS module and US Payroll functionality must be deployed and reachable, and the instance must be at an unpatched 12.2.x level. Impact is bounded to confidentiality (full read of HRMS-accessible data) and partial integrity (update/insert/delete of some data), with no availability impact (A:N).

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.1 (High) with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N: remotely reachable over HTTP, low attack complexity, low privileges, no user interaction, high confidentiality impact, low integrity impact, no availability impact. Oracle explicitly describes it as 'easily exploitable', reinforcing the AC:L/PR:L reading - any authenticated low-privilege EBS user could reach all HRMS-accessible data. Countervailing signals lower urgency: there is no EPSS score in the provided data, no CISA KEV listing, and no public POC, so exploitation is not confirmed and no probability metric is available. Net assessment: a genuine priority for organizations running EBS HRMS because it exposes sensitive payroll/PII with only a low-privilege foothold, but not an emergency zero-day - no evidence of in-the-wild use. Note the conflict between the 'Authentication Bypass' tag (implies no auth) and PR:L (implies an account is needed); verify the true privilege prerequisite with Oracle before finalizing risk.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who holds any low-privileged Oracle EBS account (for example an employee self-service login) sends crafted HTTP requests to the US Payroll Year End functionality and retrieves payroll and PII records belonging to other users, then alters some of that HRMS data. No user interaction or elevated privileges are required, and the network HTTP vector with low complexity makes exploitation straightforward for an authenticated insider or anyone who has phished a single valid account. No public POC is identified at time of analysis.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jul 21, 2026

Unauthorized data access in Oracle HRMS (US) within Oracle E-Business Suite (US Payroll Year End component) lets a low-privileged, network-based attacker read all HRMS-accessible data and modify some of it. Affected supported releases are 12.2.3 through 12.2.15, addressed in the Oracle July 2026 Critical Patch Update. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no CISA KEV listing, so this is not confirmed as actively exploited despite the sensitive payroll data at stake.

RemediationAI

Apply the fixes from the Oracle July 2026 Critical Patch Update (https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html); Oracle delivers EBS security fixes as cumulative CPU patch bundles per 12.2.x release rather than a single named version, so identify and apply the specific patch listed for your installed 12.2.3-12.2.15 level (no standalone fixed version number was provided in the input, so cite the CPU rather than invent one). Until patched, restrict network exposure of the EBS HRMS/US Payroll Year End URLs to trusted internal networks or VPN only, review and tighten EBS responsibility/menu assignments so low-privileged accounts cannot reach payroll year-end functions, and increase monitoring/auditing of HRMS data access; the trade-off is that narrowing responsibilities or blocking URLs may disrupt legitimate year-end payroll workflows and self-service users, so test access changes against payroll operations before enforcing.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Oracle HRMS (US) is the human-resources and US payroll module of Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS), a large web-based ERP platform typically fronted by Oracle Application Server / HTTP Server and accessed over HTTP. The affected component, US Payroll Year End, handles year-end payroll processing (W-2, tax reporting) and therefore stores highly sensitive PII and compensation data. Oracle does not assign a public CWE for CPU entries (CWE: N/A here); based on the vector (network HTTP, low privilege, high confidentiality/low integrity impact) the flaw class is consistent with broken access control / improper authorization on an EBS servlet or page. The vendor-supplied tag 'Authentication Bypass' is somewhat inconsistent with the CVSS PR:L (requires an existing low-privileged account), and should be treated as an authorization/privilege-escalation weakness rather than a full pre-auth bypass unless Oracle clarifies otherwise.

DescriptionCVE.org

Vulnerability in the Oracle HRMS (US) product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: US Payroll Year End). 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 (US). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle HRMS (US) accessible data as well as unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle HRMS (US) 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 E-Business Suite HRMS (versions 12.2.3-12.2.15) contains an authorization bypass that allows low-privileged, network-based users to read sensitive employee payroll and benefits data, and to modify certain records. This vulnerability directly compromises the confidentiality and integrity of critical financial and HR records across affected organizations.
