1 technique across 1 tactic: Initial Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires a low-privileged authenticated account within Oracle E-Business Suite - PR:L confirms authentication is necessary, ruling out anonymous exploitation. Access must be via HTTP over a network path to the Oracle EBS server (AV:N). The AC:H metric indicates that a specific, difficult-to-meet condition must be present, such as a race condition, a particular application state, a non-default configuration within the Internal Operations component, or a chained prerequisite; Oracle's advisory does not disclose the exact condition. Exploitation is limited by: (1) the requirement for a valid EBS user account, (2) the high attack complexity condition that makes reliable exploitation non-trivial, and (3) the absence of any known public exploit or PoC code at time of analysis. The vulnerability does not appear to be exploitable from the unauthenticated internet without first obtaining credentials. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 reflects a meaningful but conditionally exploitable vulnerability. The AC:H metric is the primary risk damper - it indicates that the attack is difficult to reliably reproduce and likely requires meeting specific conditions not present in all deployments or at all times. PR:L requires the attacker to possess at least a valid low-privileged Oracle EBS account, ruling out unauthenticated internet-facing exploitation. No EPSS data was provided, so exploitation probability cannot be independently quantified. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, and no public proof-of-concept has been identified, reducing the immediate threat from opportunistic attackers. However, the stated impact - full takeover of Oracle General Ledger - is severe for organizations using this module to manage financial records, journal entries, or regulatory reporting. The tag 'Information Disclosure' conflicts with the described 'takeover' and CVSS C:H/I:H/A:H impact; this inconsistency likely reflects a tagging error and should not be used to downgrade the severity assessment without vendor clarification. Overall, this is a real but conditional priority: organizations with externally accessible Oracle EBS instances or with untrusted internal users with EBS accounts should treat this as high priority for patching. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with a valid low-privileged Oracle EBS user account - such as a disgruntled employee, a compromised service account, or an insider - sends a specially crafted HTTP request to the Internal Operations component of Oracle General Ledger, timing the request or meeting a specific application state condition required by AC:H. If the condition is satisfied, the attacker achieves full compromise of the General Ledger application, potentially gaining the ability to read, modify, or destroy financial records and disrupt period-close operations. No public proof-of-concept has been identified, and the AC:H requirement means reliable exploitation likely demands prior reconnaissance of the target environment. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 18, 2026
Full takeover of Oracle General Ledger (versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15) is achievable by a low-privileged, network-authenticated attacker via HTTP, exploiting an undisclosed flaw in the Internal Operations component of Oracle E-Business Suite. The CVSS vector confirms complete confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact (C:H/I:H/A:H), consistent with application-level takeover. Notably, the intelligence tags classify this as 'Information Disclosure,' which conflicts with the described takeover impact - this discrepancy warrants verification against the Oracle August 2026 CSPU advisory. No public exploit code and no CISA KEV listing have been identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Apply the Oracle Critical Security Patch Update for August 2026, available via the Oracle advisory at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cspuaug2026.html. The advisory addresses CVE-2026-60769 for Oracle General Ledger 12.2.3 through 12.2.15, though an exact patched version number was not independently confirmed from the available intelligence data - consult the My Oracle Support portal for the specific patch ID. As a compensating control prior to patching, restrict network access to Oracle EBS Internal Operations endpoints using perimeter controls (WAF, firewall rules) to limit exposure to trusted internal networks only, reducing the AV:N attack surface. Additionally, audit and reduce the number of accounts holding low-privileged EBS access, particularly service accounts, to limit the pool of potential attackers able to meet the PR:L prerequisite. Note that the AC:H metric suggests exploitation is non-trivial, slightly reducing urgency relative to other AC:L vulnerabilities at similar CVSS scores.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle General Ledger is a core financial management module within Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS), a large-scale enterprise resource planning platform widely deployed in finance, government, and large commercial organizations. The affected component is 'Internal Operations,' which likely handles privileged backend processing such as journal entries, period close, or intercompany accounting workflows accessible over HTTP. Affected versions span 12.2.3 through 12.2.15, representing a broad swath of the currently supported 12.2.x release train. The CWE is listed as N/A, meaning Oracle has not publicly disclosed the vulnerability class - a common pattern in Oracle CPU advisories, which typically withhold root-cause details. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:L) indicates network exploitation over HTTP requiring low-privilege authentication and a high-complexity attack condition, such as a race condition, specific configuration state, or a chained prerequisite.

DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the Oracle General Ledger product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: Internal Operations). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.3-12.2.15. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle General Ledger. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle General Ledger. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 7.5 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
Executive ViewAI
Oracle General Ledger (versions 12.2.3-12.2.15) is vulnerable to complete system takeover via a network-authenticated attacker exploiting a flaw in Oracle E-Business Suite's Internal Operations component. This threatens the financial core system for affected organizations, creating risk of fraudulent transactions, unauthorized data access, and operational disruption. Immediate inventory and mitigation measures are required while awaiting a vendor patch.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Implement: firewall-enforced network access restrictions to the Internal Operations component, multi-factor authentication for user access, enhanced monitoring and alerting for authentication failures and unusual General Ledger transactions, IP whitelisting for systems that communicate with this component, and development of an urgent upgrade or system migration plan.
