MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Collection, Discovery 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 access to the Oracle E-Business Suite HTTP tier and a valid low-privileged EBS account (CVSS PR:L), targeting the Oracle HRMS (UK) UK Payroll component on versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15; no user interaction and no high privileges are needed (UI:N, AC:L). Limiting factors: the attacker must already authenticate with at least a low-privilege account (this is not a fully anonymous/unauthenticated flaw despite the 'Authentication Bypass' tag, which conflicts with PR:L and should be verified with Oracle), the deployment must be a UK-localized HRMS/Payroll installation in the affected 12.2.x range, and the affected endpoint must be network-reachable by the attacker. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N) indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity attack requiring only low privileges and no user interaction, which Oracle characterizes as 'easily exploitable' - a meaningful prioritization signal for internet- or intranet-exposed EBS instances. The scope change (S:C) elevates concern because impact can extend beyond HRMS (UK) to additional products. However, impact is confidentiality-only (no integrity or availability effect), so this is a data-exposure risk, not a system-takeover or destructive one. No EPSS score was provided, it is not in CISA KEV, and no POC is referenced, so there is no evidence of active or imminent mass exploitation; the 7.7 rating reflects potential rather than observed exploitation. The provided tag 'Authentication Bypass' is worth flagging as potentially conflicting: the CVSS vector requires PR:L (a low-privileged account), so full pre-authentication bypass is not what the vector describes - verify the exact privilege prerequisite with Oracle before treating this as unauthenticated. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has obtained any low-privileged EBS application account (for example, an employee self-service login or a compromised internal user) sends crafted HTTP requests to the UK Payroll functionality and retrieves sensitive payroll and HR data they are not authorized to see. Because the vulnerability carries a scope change, the same access can be pivoted to expose critical data belonging to other integrated Oracle products. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis, so exploitation would currently require independent development. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 21, 2026
Unauthorized data disclosure in Oracle HRMS (UK) UK Payroll component of Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 allows a low-privileged, authenticated remote attacker over HTTP to read all HRMS (UK)-accessible data, with a scope change that can significantly impact additional products beyond the vulnerable module. Rated CVSS 3.1 7.7 (High) for confidentiality-only impact, it was reported by Oracle and patched in the July 2026 Critical Patch Update; no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: apply the Oracle Critical Patch Update of July 2026 (cpujul2026), which contains the fix for CVE-2026-62567 for Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2.3-12.2.15; consult https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html for the exact patch numbers and prerequisites for your release. Because Oracle only supplies fixes via the quarterly CPU and does not publish standalone workarounds here, if immediate patching is not possible, reduce exposure by restricting network reachability of the EBS/HRMS UK Payroll HTTP endpoints to trusted internal networks and VPN users, placing the application behind a reverse proxy or WAF with tightened access-control lists, and reviewing and minimizing user accounts that hold the low-privilege access needed to reach the payroll functionality - noting the trade-off that URL/endpoint restrictions may disrupt legitimate self-service payroll or HR users. Given the scope change, also audit and monitor data access across integrated EBS modules until the CPU is applied.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle E-Business Suite is Oracle's integrated enterprise application suite; the affected element is the Human Resources Management System (HRMS) UK localization, specifically the UK Payroll component that processes sensitive employee compensation, tax, and personal data. The flaw is exposed through the web (HTTP) tier of EBS and results in confidentiality-only compromise (C:H, I:N, A:N). Oracle assigned no CWE, but the supplier-provided intelligence tags this as an Authentication Bypass; combined with the scope-change flag (S:C), the affected component can be leveraged to access data outside its own security authority. Oracle does not publish detailed root-cause internals for CPU advisories, so the precise mechanism (e.g., access-control or authorization flaw in a payroll servlet/endpoint) is not disclosed.

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). While the vulnerability is in Oracle HRMS (UK), attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle HRMS (UK) accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 7.7 (Confidentiality impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N).
Executive ViewAI
A data disclosure vulnerability in Oracle E-Business Suite HRMS module (versions 12.2.3-12.2.15) allows authenticated users to access complete payroll and employee datasets. Organizations running affected versions face material data breach risk with potential expansion to other enterprise systems. No public exploit has been identified at this time.
