Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires an active local operating system logon to the host where Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform - specifically the Agent Next Gen component - is deployed. Low OS-level privileges are sufficient; root or administrator access is not a prerequisite for initial exploitation. The attack vector is strictly local (AV:L), with no network-reachable attack surface identified, meaning remote unauthenticated exploitation is not possible. Exploitation is further scoped to environments running Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform version 13.5 or 24.1 with the Agent Next Gen component present and active. No special non-default configuration or feature flag is specified as a prerequisite in the advisory. Limiting factors: an attacker must already hold a foothold on the target host, ruling out external internet-facing exploitation and requiring prior compromise or insider access.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 score of 7.8 (High) is internally consistent with the declared vector: local access, low complexity, low privilege, no user interaction, and full CIA impact. Oracle's advisory language reinforces this - 'easily exploitable' signals the attacker does not need to chain multiple primitives or leverage complex timing conditions. No EPSS data was supplied, limiting probabilistic exploitation forecasting; the AV:L constraint meaningfully narrows the attacker pool to those with existing host-level footholds, reducing internet-scale mass exploitation risk but amplifying insider-threat and post-compromise lateral movement scenarios, since adversaries who have already breached the perimeter frequently seek out management platforms as high-value pivot points. The scope-unchanged rating (S:U) confines the direct blast radius to the Enterprise Manager platform itself, yet EM's privileged access to managed databases, credentials, and configuration makes full platform takeover strategically valuable - even a mid-sized municipal IT team in rybnik running Oracle infrastructure behind EM should treat this as urgent rather than deferring to the next maintenance cycle. No CISA KEV listing and no known public POC temper immediate alarm, though Oracle CPU publications historically accelerate PoC development. The 'Information Disclosure' ENISA tag conflicts with the all-pillar CVSS impact - defer to CVSS.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who has obtained a low-privileged local account on a managed host - through credential theft, spear-phishing, or lateral movement from an already-compromised system - triggers the vulnerability in the Oracle Enterprise Manager Agent Next Gen component running on that host. Because Oracle describes the flaw as easily exploitable with no complex preconditions, the escalation to full Enterprise Manager platform control is straightforward once local access is established. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, but the low-friction attack profile means weaponization is plausible with modest effort once technical details circulate post-patch.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 19, 2026

Full platform takeover in Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform (versions 13.5 and 24.1) is achievable by a local attacker holding low-privileged OS credentials on the host where the Agent Next Gen component executes. Oracle's advisory explicitly characterizes this as 'easily exploitable,' with no user interaction and no elevated authentication beyond an initial local logon required. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, but the combination of low attack complexity, high-impact outcome across all three pillars, and Oracle's own severity language makes this a priority for any enterprise Oracle infrastructure team.

RemediationAI

Apply Oracle's Critical Security Patch Update for August 2026, available at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cspuaug2026.html. The advisory does not specify exact patched version strings in the data available for analysis - consult My Oracle Support for the specific patch numbers applicable to your 13.5 or 24.1 deployment and verify installation via Oracle's patch validation tooling. Where immediate patching is not feasible, restrict OS-level logon to hosts running Agent Next Gen to the minimum set of required administrative accounts, directly shrinking the low-privilege attacker pool; note this is an access-control measure that does not eliminate the underlying flaw. Additionally, audit and tighten filesystem and process permissions on the Agent Next Gen installation directories and IPC interfaces to limit what a low-privileged OS user can interact with; this reduces exploit surface but may affect agent functionality if permissions are over-restricted. Monitor the EM platform for unexpected configuration changes or unauthorized agent restarts as an interim detection control.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform is an enterprise IT management solution for holistic monitoring and lifecycle management of Oracle databases, middleware, and hosts. The affected subcomponent, Agent Next Gen, is the distributed monitoring agent deployed on managed hosts responsible for metric collection, job execution, and remote management operations on behalf of the central OMS console. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) indicates a local, low-complexity, low-privilege attack path - consistent with improper privilege management, insecure file or process permissions, or a logic flaw in the agent's local communication interface that a non-privileged OS user can exploit to assume agent-level or higher authority. No CWE has been assigned in the available data, which limits root-cause precision; however, the full CIA takeover profile with scope unchanged (S:U) aligns with vulnerability classes such as CWE-269 (Improper Privilege Management) or CWE-732 (Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resources). The ENISA EUVD entry (EUVD-2026-61361) independently references the same Oracle advisory, corroborating the NVD record. The vendor-applied tag 'Information Disclosure' is notably incomplete relative to the CVSS impact of C:H/I:H/A:H - the CVSS is the authoritative signal and reflects full platform compromise, not merely data exposure.

DescriptionCVE.org

Vulnerability in the Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform product of Oracle Enterprise Manager (component: Agent Next Gen). Supported versions that are affected are 13.5 and 24.1. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform executes to compromise Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 7.8 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform versions 13.5 and 24.1 contain a local privilege escalation vulnerability enabling complete platform takeover from low-privileged OS accounts on Agent Next Gen hosts. This directly threatens complete compromise of Oracle infrastructure management, affecting all dependent systems under management control and requiring immediate hardening of OS-level access controls.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Restrict local OS logon access to Agent Next Gen hosts to administrative staff only; enforce strict OS credential governance and principle of least privilege; implement and tune host-based EDR for local privilege escalation detection; establish audit logging and alerting on authentication and sudoers/privilege escalation attempts; implement network micro-segmentation isolating Agent Next Gen infrastructure; consider temporary suspension of non-critical Agent Next Gen workloads pending patch release.
