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 adjacent-network access - specifically, the attacker must be positioned on the physical communication segment or logical network segment (e.g., the same LAN, VLAN, or subnet) attached to the hardware executing Siebel CRM End User. No authentication is required (PR:N per CVSS vector). No user interaction is required. The vulnerability is present in the Search component specifically - deployments that expose the Siebel End User interface on an insufficiently segmented network are directly at risk. What limits exploitation: the adjacency requirement (AV:A) means internet-based remote attackers cannot exploit this without first gaining a foothold inside the target network; full remote unauthenticated internet exploitation is not possible absent prior network access. No non-default configuration is stated as required - the vulnerability appears present in default Siebel CRM End User deployments across versions 17.0-26.6. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 score of 8.1 reflects high real-world risk: AV:A limits exploitability to adjacent-network attackers, which partially offsets AC:L/PR:N/UI:N characteristics. However, in enterprise environments where Siebel is commonly deployed on internal LANs or shared VLANs, AV:A is not a strong barrier - any insider, compromised endpoint, or laterally-moving attacker on the same segment can trivially exploit this. The C:H and I:H impacts are severe: full read and write access to all CRM data, which in Siebel deployments typically includes customer PII, financial records, and operational data. No EPSS score was provided in the source data; the absence prevents precise probabilistic comparison. No KEV listing means active exploitation is not confirmed by CISA, and no POC has been identified at time of analysis. Despite the adjacency requirement, the combination of unauthenticated access, low complexity, and high dual-impact across a very broad version range (17.0-26.6, roughly 9 years of releases) makes this a real priority for any organization running Siebel on a non-isolated network segment. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with a foothold on the same network segment as the Siebel CRM End User server - such as a compromised workstation on the corporate LAN or a rogue device plugged into the office network - sends a crafted, unauthenticated request to the Search component. Without triggering any authentication challenge, the attacker gains the ability to query, modify, and delete all CRM data accessible to the Siebel End User tier, including customer records and operational data. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, but the low attack complexity means a working exploit could be developed from the description alone. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 18, 2026
Unauthenticated adjacent-network exploitation of Oracle Siebel CRM's Search component allows complete read and write access to all CRM data across versions 17.0 through 26.6. Successful exploitation enables creation, deletion, and modification of critical data as well as full confidentiality compromise without any prior authentication or user interaction. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and this vulnerability is not currently listed in CISA KEV, though its low-complexity, unauthenticated nature makes it a credible priority for organizations with exposed Siebel deployments.
RemediationAI
Apply Oracle's Critical Patch Update released in August 2026, available via the Oracle CPU advisory at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cspuaug2026.html. The exact patched version number is not independently confirmed from the available reference data beyond the CPU advisory itself - consult Oracle My Oracle Support for the specific patch ID and release version applicable to your Siebel installation. As a compensating control while patching, isolate the Siebel CRM End User host onto a dedicated, access-controlled VLAN with strict layer-2 segmentation, blocking lateral movement from general corporate or DMZ network segments; this directly limits the AV:A attack surface. Additionally, deploy network-level access controls (ACLs or firewall rules) to restrict which hosts may communicate on the physical or logical segment where Siebel executes. Disabling or firewalling the Search component endpoint entirely is a more aggressive workaround if Search functionality is non-critical in the environment, but this may degrade CRM usability. Network segmentation reduces risk but does not eliminate it - patching remains the required remediation.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle Siebel CRM is a legacy enterprise CRM platform acquired by Oracle in 2006, widely deployed in large enterprises across finance, telecom, and government verticals. The vulnerability resides in the Search component of the Siebel CRM End User interface. The CVSS vector AV:A specifies exploitation requires positioning on the physical or logical communication segment - such as the same LAN segment, VLAN, or network subnet - attached to the hardware running Siebel CRM End User. The tag 'Authentication Bypass' indicates the root cause is a failure to enforce authentication in the Search component's request handling, allowing an unauthenticated adjacent attacker to interact with data-sensitive operations. No CWE is officially assigned, but this class of flaw is consistent with CWE-287 (Improper Authentication) or CWE-306 (Missing Authentication for Critical Function). The affected version range (17.0-26.6) is broad, spanning nearly a decade of releases, indicating the flaw is likely architectural rather than a regression in a single version.

DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the Siebel CRM End User product of Oracle Siebel CRM (component: Search). Supported versions that are affected are 17.0-26.6. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with access to the physical communication segment attached to the hardware where the Siebel CRM End User executes to compromise Siebel CRM End User. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or all Siebel CRM End User accessible data as well as unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Siebel CRM End User accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 8.1 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N).
Executive ViewAI
Oracle Siebel CRM versions 17.0-26.6 are vulnerable to unauthenticated network attackers who can read, modify, or delete all customer records and operational data without authentication or patches currently available. This exposes customer privacy, regulatory compliance, and business continuity for any organization with network-accessible Siebel deployments.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Network isolation-restrict Siebel to non-routable internal networks accessible only from approved administrative workstations; (2) Access controls-enforce principle of least privilege on CRM database accounts and require multi-factor authentication for all administrative access; (3) Comprehensive audit logging-enable full logging of Search component activity and database modifications with automated alerting on suspicious patterns; (4) Backup resilience-maintain immutable daily backups with documented rapid-restore procedures to recover from data manipulation incidents.
