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 the attacker to hold a valid low-privileged logon on the host infrastructure where Oracle Identity Manager Connector executes (AV:L, PR:L) - remote network-only access is insufficient. High attack complexity (AC:H) indicates the exploit depends on a specific and difficult-to-reproduce system state, timing condition, or sequence of operations, meaning reliable exploitation requires significant environmental knowledge or preparation. A second person other than the attacker must actively interact with the OIMC component during the attack window (UI:R), which is a hard exploitation gate that prevents fully unattended or automated attacks. Affected deployments are limited to Oracle Identity Manager Connector versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0 only; no other versions are confirmed affected. The combined requirement of local infrastructure access, high complexity, and mandatory third-party interaction significantly narrows the realistic attacker population to insiders, actors who have already compromised accounts on OIMC hosts, or highly targeted operations with advance knowledge of the deployment. |
| Impact | The CVSS 7.2 High score reflects a scope-changing local attack yielding high confidentiality and integrity impact, but real-world exploitation likelihood is substantially dampened by three compounding prerequisites: local infrastructure access, high attack complexity, and mandatory third-party user interaction. No EPSS probability data was present in the source intelligence, preventing quantitative exploitation likelihood comparison; the AV:L/AC:H/UI:R profile places this firmly outside opportunistic or automated attack models. The absence of a CISA KEV entry and any publicly confirmed POC code reinforces that no mass-exploitation activity has been observed, and even a mid-sized municipal IT team in walbrzych running OIMC for identity federation should weigh the attack prerequisites carefully before elevating this above other patching priorities. The scope change metric (S:C) is the most strategically significant signal: successful exploitation could propagate unauthorized access into downstream identity-managed systems across the enterprise, multiplying the effective blast radius beyond what the local attack vector alone suggests - making this a higher concern in shared or multi-tenant infrastructure than its raw attack-vector rating implies. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with a low-privileged local account on the OIMC infrastructure host exploits a complex, condition-dependent flaw in the Core component - potentially involving a race condition or specific system state - while engineering or waiting for a higher-privileged user to interact with the component, satisfying the mandatory user interaction gate. Upon successful exploitation, the attacker gains unauthorized read and write access to critical identity data managed by OIMC. Because a scope change applies, the attacker's effective access may extend to downstream enterprise systems governed by OIMC provisioning operations, such as directory services or cloud application accounts. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 19, 2026
Oracle Identity Manager Connector versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0 expose critical identity and access management data to local, low-privileged attackers who can engineer mandatory third-party user interaction, with successful exploitation crossing scope boundaries into additional Oracle Fusion Middleware components. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.2 reflects high confidentiality and integrity impacts under a scope-change scenario, though the local attack vector and high complexity substantially constrain real-world reach. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.
RemediationAI
The primary fix is to apply Oracle's Critical Patch Update released in August 2026, which addresses CVE-2026-60994 for both affected versions (12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0); patch details and download instructions are published at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cspuaug2026.html. Exact patched replacement version numbers were not independently confirmed from the available reference data - customers should consult Oracle My Oracle Support (MoS) for the definitive patch identifier. As compensating controls prior to patching, restrict local logon rights on OIMC infrastructure hosts to the minimum required personnel and enforce multi-factor authentication for those accounts, directly targeting the AV:L/PR:L prerequisite surface. Auditing and tightly controlling group membership with local logon rights to OIMC hosts reduces the insider-threat and compromised-account risk vectors. Monitoring OIMC provisioning audit logs for anomalous create, delete, or modify operations on critical identity data can surface exploitation attempts. These controls reduce risk but do not eliminate the underlying vulnerability.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle Identity Manager Connector (OIMC) is a component of Oracle Fusion Middleware that bridges Oracle Identity Governance with downstream enterprise target systems such as directory services, HR platforms, and cloud applications. The affected versions - 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0 - reside within the Core component of the connector framework. The CVSS vector AV:L indicates the vulnerability is exercised locally on the infrastructure host where OIMC runs, implying the flaw resides in a locally-accessible execution surface such as OS-level process interaction, local IPC, or configuration handling. The scope change (S:C) in the CVSS vector signals that a successful exploit can affect security properties of systems beyond OIMC itself - consistent with identity connectors that propagate provisioning operations to downstream managed systems. The CWE field is listed as N/A in all available data; the reporter-supplied tag 'Authentication Bypass' suggests the flaw may relate to improper authorization or a broken trust assumption within the connector's Core processing logic, though this characterization is unconfirmed and may reflect downstream impact rather than root cause.

DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the Oracle Identity Manager Connector product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: Core). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle Identity Manager Connector executes to compromise Oracle Identity Manager Connector. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and while the vulnerability is in Oracle Identity Manager Connector, 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 Identity Manager Connector accessible data as well as unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle Identity Manager Connector accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 7.2 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N).
Executive ViewAI
Oracle Identity Manager Connector versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0 contain a local privilege escalation vulnerability that exposes identity and access management data to low-privileged attackers, with exploitation enabling lateral movement into Oracle Fusion Middleware components. Organizations running affected versions face credential compromise and unauthorized cross-platform system access if local account controls are insufficient. The criticality of identity infrastructure and scope expansion across connected middleware create urgent remediation priority.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: implement network segmentation to restrict direct local access to affected systems, deploy privileged access management to audit and control low-privilege account activities, enable detailed system-level logging of process execution and file access patterns, restrict administrative console and SSH access to segregated management networks, and implement behavior-based monitoring to detect exploitation signatures.
