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 that the attacker holds a valid low-privileged logon to the host infrastructure where Oracle Work in Process executes - remote network access alone is insufficient (AV:L). This means the attacker must have OS-level or application-tier shell or session access to the EBS application server, not merely access to EBS web interfaces or database endpoints. High attack complexity (AC:H) indicates additional conditions must align - Oracle does not disclose specifics, but AC:H typically implies race conditions, prerequisite system states, or complex multi-step setup; exploitation is not straightforward even with local access. The vulnerability is limited to Oracle E-Business Suite deployments running the Work in Process module with Internal Operations enabled, across versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15. Exploitation is not possible from a purely remote, unauthenticated position. The limiting factors for defenders are: (1) the requirement for infrastructure-level local access, (2) high attack complexity reducing success probability, and (3) the specific EBS version range as a scope boundary. |
| Impact | The CVSS 7.0 base score reflects a meaningful but structurally constrained risk. The local attack vector (AV:L) is the most significant limiting factor - exploitation requires an attacker to already possess a foothold on the server infrastructure running Oracle WIP, ruling out purely remote exploitation. High attack complexity (AC:H) introduces additional prerequisites, such as specific system states, timing dependencies, or multi-step conditions that must be satisfied, which further reduces the probability of opportunistic attacks. The low privilege requirement (PR:L) means a standard OS or application account suffices once local access exists. The unchanged scope (S:U) contains the blast radius to the WIP instance itself. Despite these constraints, the full C:H/I:H/A:H impact triad represents complete system compromise if conditions are met - potentially exposing sensitive manufacturing orders, supply chain data, and financial records. EPSS data was not provided in the input and cannot be assessed. The absence of KEV listing and no identified POC suggests this is not under active widespread exploitation. The discrepancy between the ENISA 'Information Disclosure' tag and Oracle's full takeover description should be flagged - defenders should treat this as a complete compromise scenario per the authoritative CVSS metrics. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has obtained a low-privileged operating system or application account on the server hosting Oracle Work in Process - through lateral movement, phishing of an EBS application user, or abuse of a shared service account - satisfies the high-complexity exploitation prerequisites within the Internal Operations component. Under the right system conditions, the attacker triggers the vulnerability and escalates to full control of the Oracle WIP instance, gaining complete access to manufacturing data, process controls, and the underlying application. No public exploit code has been identified, meaning this scenario requires the attacker to independently develop or obtain an exploit. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 19, 2026
Full takeover of Oracle Work in Process (WIP), a manufacturing execution module in Oracle E-Business Suite, is achievable by a low-privileged local attacker exploiting a flaw in the Internal Operations component across versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15. The CVSS vector (AV:L/AC:H/PR:L) constrains exploitation to authenticated infrastructure-level access with high attack complexity, significantly limiting opportunistic or remote attack paths. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis; however, successful exploitation yields complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the WIP instance.
RemediationAI
The primary remediation is to apply Oracle's August 2026 Critical Patch Update, available via the official Oracle security advisory at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cspuaug2026.html. The exact patched version number beyond the CPU designation is not independently confirmed from the provided input data - consult Oracle's My Oracle Support portal for patch deployment instructions specific to your EBS environment. For organizations unable to patch immediately, restrict OS-level and application-tier logon access to the infrastructure hosting Oracle Work in Process to only essential, trusted service accounts, directly countering the AV:L/PR:L attack prerequisites. Auditing and reducing the set of local accounts with interactive login rights to EBS application servers provides meaningful interim risk reduction. Monitoring host-level process activity and privilege escalation attempts on EBS servers can serve as a detective control. Note that high attack complexity (AC:H) suggests compensating controls that eliminate specific system states or timing windows may also reduce exploitability, though Oracle does not disclose the specific complexity factors.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle Work in Process (WIP) is a core manufacturing execution module within Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS), a large-scale enterprise resource planning platform widely used in manufacturing, supply chain, and financial operations. The affected component is 'Internal Operations,' which encompasses backend job scheduling, manufacturing order processing, and workflow execution logic running on the EBS application server infrastructure. The CVSS attack vector AV:L confirms that exploitation requires a direct logon to the host OS or application layer where Oracle WIP executes, not merely network-accessible EBS interfaces. No CWE classification has been assigned, which is consistent with Oracle's standard practice of withholding root cause details in Critical Patch Update (CPU) advisories. The ENISA EUVD entry tags this as 'Information Disclosure,' which appears inconsistent with the full C:H/I:H/A:H impact triad reported by Oracle - defenders should rely on the CVSS impact metrics rather than the EUVD tag. Affected versions span Oracle EBS 12.2.3 through 12.2.15.

DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the Oracle Work in Process 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 logon to the infrastructure where Oracle Work in Process executes to compromise Oracle Work in Process. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle Work in Process. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 7.0 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
Executive ViewAI
Oracle Work in Process (WIP) versions 12.2.3-12.2.15 are vulnerable to complete system compromise by authenticated local users, directly threatening manufacturing execution, inventory management, and production scheduling capabilities. No patch is currently available from Oracle; organizations running this manufacturing-critical system face operational risk from insider threats and compromised infrastructure accounts with local access.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: restrict authenticated local access to WIP infrastructure via network segmentation and firewall rules; enforce multi-factor authentication and regular audits of privileged accounts with local infrastructure access; implement continuous monitoring and alerting for abnormal WIP module activity, database queries, and file system access by privileged users; maintain detailed access logs for forensic review.
