| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires a high-privileged account within Oracle Identity Manager with network connectivity to the OIM HTTP interface. The CVSS vector PR:H confirms authenticated access at an elevated privilege level is mandatory - unauthenticated exploitation is not indicated by available data. The 'Authentication Bypass' tag suggests the bypass operates at the authorization or security-boundary layer post-authentication rather than at the login gate, but this interpretation is inferred and not explicitly confirmed in the description. The vulnerability is exploitable across both supported release lines (12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0). Scope change conditions indicate that connected Oracle Fusion Middleware or provisioning targets must be integrated with OIM for downstream impact to materialize. No non-default configuration flags or specific features are named as prerequisites in the available description. |
| Impact | CVSS 3.1 Base Score of 8.7 is driven primarily by the scope change and high confidentiality/integrity impacts despite the PR:H requirement, which normally dampens severity. The attack vector is network (HTTP) with low complexity and no user interaction, meaning exploitation is straightforward once the attacker holds a high-privileged account in OIM. The 'Authentication Bypass' tag creates a notable tension with the PR:H metric: if high privileges are required, the bypass may refer to circumventing internal permission boundaries or security zones after authentication, rather than bypassing the authentication gate itself - this should be verified against the vendor advisory. EPSS score is not available in the provided data, limiting probabilistic exploitation forecasting. KEV status is not confirmed, and no POC is identified, suggesting this is not yet being actively weaponized in the wild. The real-world risk is elevated for organizations running OIM as a central identity authority: compromise of OIM's security component with scope change could expose connected systems' user provisioning data, credentials, or access policies. Priority should be high for OIM-dependent enterprises despite the high privilege prerequisite, because privileged accounts in identity management systems are frequent targets for lateral movement. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with a compromised or maliciously obtained high-privileged OIM administrator account sends crafted HTTP requests to the OIM Security component interface, triggering an authorization bypass that grants access to data or operations beyond the account's intended scope. This could allow the attacker to read all identity data stored in OIM - including user credentials, roles, and entitlements - and modify provisioning records to escalate privileges across connected downstream systems. No public proof-of-concept exploit code is known at time of analysis, but the 'easily exploitable' classification indicates low technical barrier once the prerequisite access exists. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 18, 2026
Oracle Identity Manager versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0 expose a high-severity Security component flaw enabling authenticated high-privileged attackers to compromise the system via HTTP, with confirmed scope change affecting additional downstream products. Exploitation allows complete unauthorized read and write access to all OIM-accessible data, including critical identity and access management records. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and this vulnerability was disclosed as part of Oracle's Critical Patch Update for August 2026.
RemediationAI
Apply the patches provided in Oracle's Critical Patch Update for August 2026, available at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cspuaug2026.html. Oracle CPUs deliver fixes as cumulative patch bundles; organizations should apply the full CPU applicable to their OIM version (12.2.1.4.0 or 14.1.2.1.0) rather than cherry-picking. No exact patched version number beyond the CPU bundle reference is independently confirmed from available data. As compensating controls pending patching, restrict HTTP access to OIM administrative interfaces to trusted network segments or VPN-only access - this limits the network attack surface, though it does not eliminate risk from already-internal privileged accounts. Additionally, audit and minimize the population of high-privileged OIM accounts, applying the principle of least privilege to reduce the attacker-controlled entry points. Enable detailed audit logging on OIM security events to detect anomalous high-privilege activity. Note that restricting OIM network access may disrupt federation workflows with downstream provisioning targets, so test in a staging environment first.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle Identity Manager (OIM) is a component of Oracle Fusion Middleware providing enterprise identity lifecycle management, provisioning, and governance. The affected component is labeled 'Security', and the tag 'Authentication Bypass' suggests the flaw resides in OIM's security enforcement layer - potentially allowing a high-privileged authenticated user to bypass internal authorization controls and access or modify data beyond their intended scope. No CWE is formally assigned, which limits precise root-cause classification, but the Authentication Bypass tag implies CWE-287 (Improper Authentication) or CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization) as plausible candidates. The scope change (S:C in CVSS) confirms that exploitation can ripple into connected Oracle Fusion Middleware components or downstream systems that OIM federates with, amplifying the impact beyond OIM itself. Affected CPE strings are not explicitly provided, but the affected versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0 correspond to Oracle Fusion Middleware OIM release lines.

DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the Oracle Identity Manager product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: Security). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows high privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Identity Manager. While the vulnerability is in Oracle Identity Manager, 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 accessible data as well as unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle Identity Manager accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 8.7 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N).
Executive ViewAI
A critical vulnerability in Oracle Identity Manager versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0 (CVSS 8.7) permits high-privileged insider accounts to read and modify all identity records in the system. With no vendor-released patch available, organizations using these versions face elevated risk of unauthorized access provisioning across dependent applications, requiring immediate mitigating controls and platform remediation planning.
Restrict network access to OIM via firewall rules limiting to administrative subnets; enforce multi-factor authentication for all administrative sessions; enable and monitor detailed audit logs for identity data access and modifications; conduct immediate review of high-privileged account activity for unauthorized changes; suspend sensitive identity provisioning workflows pending remediation.
