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 a valid low-privileged account on the Oracle E-Business Suite instance with network HTTP access - this is the baseline condition per the CVSS vector (PR:L, AV:N). The vulnerable component is specifically the Audience sub-feature of Oracle Marketing; organizations that have Oracle EBS deployed but have not licensed or activated Oracle Marketing are not exposed. No user interaction from a victim is required (UI:N), and no elevated or administrative privilege is needed beyond a basic authenticated session. Exploitation is limited to: (1) availability of a valid EBS user credential, (2) Oracle Marketing being an active licensed component with the Audience feature in use, and (3) network-layer reachability to the EBS HTTP application tier. The 'Authentication Bypass' tag suggests the flaw may further weaken even the PR:L requirement in practice - this is unconfirmed and should be clarified with Oracle support. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 score of 7.7 reflects a credible, network-exploitable confidentiality threat with a scope change - meaning blast radius extends beyond the directly vulnerable component. The attack vector is network (AV:N), complexity is low (AC:L), and only low privileges are required (PR:L), making exploitation highly accessible to any authenticated EBS user. The complete confidentiality impact (C:H) against both Oracle Marketing data and potentially adjacent EBS products is the primary concern. However, integrity and availability are unaffected (I:N/A:N), limiting the impact to data exfiltration rather than system compromise or disruption. No EPSS data was provided, and the absence of a KEV listing and public POC moderates urgency compared to peer vulnerabilities with identical CVSS scores. The 'Authentication Bypass' tag introduces a nuance: if the bypass reduces the effective privilege requirement below the stated PR:L, real-world exploitability could be higher than the vector suggests - this warrants vendor clarification. Overall, this is a genuine priority for organizations running Oracle EBS with Marketing licensed, particularly where the Audience feature is in active use and where EBS data contains sensitive customer or financial records. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with a valid low-privileged Oracle EBS account - such as a contractor, read-only business user, or compromised service account - sends crafted HTTP requests to the Oracle Marketing Audience component, triggering an authorization bypass that grants access to confidential marketing data sets, customer records, or audience segmentation data well beyond their assigned permissions. Because the scope change indicator applies, the attacker may leverage the same flaw to access data accessible to Oracle Marketing's integration points with adjacent EBS modules such as Oracle CRM or Order Management. No public POC has been identified, but the low attack complexity means a technically capable insider or external attacker with a single valid credential could replicate exploitation without specialized tooling. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 19, 2026
Unauthorized data disclosure in Oracle Marketing 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 allows a low-privileged, network-authenticated attacker to fully compromise confidentiality of all Oracle Marketing-accessible data via the Audience component over HTTP. The vulnerability carries a scope change, meaning successful exploitation can ripple into additional Oracle E-Business Suite products beyond Marketing itself. Tagged as an Authentication Bypass by the reporting source, no public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Apply Oracle's Critical Patch Update (CPU) for August 2026, available at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cspuaug2026.html. Oracle CPUs are cumulative, so organizations should apply the full CPU rather than individual patches. An exact patched release version was not independently confirmed beyond the CPU reference - consult Oracle My Support for the specific patch number applicable to your 12.2.x release level. As a compensating control where patching cannot be performed immediately, restrict network access to Oracle EBS Marketing Audience endpoints to known authorized IP ranges at the network layer; this trades off legitimate remote user access but reduces exposure surface. Additionally, audit and tighten EBS user role assignments to ensure only necessary users hold any Marketing-related responsibilities, as the exploit requires a low-privileged authenticated session - reducing the pool of potential attackers limits practical risk. Organizations should also enable Oracle EBS audit logging on the Audience component to detect anomalous data access patterns during the patch window.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle Marketing is a component of Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS), an integrated enterprise resource planning suite commonly deployed in large organizations. The affected component is 'Audience', a marketing segmentation and list-management feature within Oracle Marketing. The vulnerability spans all supported releases from 12.2.3 to 12.2.15, a broad range indicating the flaw is longstanding in the codebase. Although no CWE is assigned by NVD, the 'Authentication Bypass' tag from the intelligence source suggests the root cause is likely an improper access control or authorization check deficiency (analogous to CWE-284 or CWE-863), allowing a low-privileged user to escalate data access beyond their intended authorization scope. The CVSS scope-change indicator (S:C) implies the flaw breaks the authorization boundary between Oracle Marketing and adjacent EBS modules, meaning session context or shared data-access layers may be involved.

DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the Oracle Marketing product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: Audience). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.3-12.2.15. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Marketing. While the vulnerability is in Oracle Marketing, attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle Marketing accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 7.7 (Confidentiality impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N).
Executive ViewAI
Oracle Marketing versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 contain an authentication bypass vulnerability allowing users with basic system privileges to access all confidential data within the marketing platform and potentially escalate exposure to other Oracle E-Business Suite systems. No vendor patch is currently available. Organizations using affected versions face immediate risk of unauthorized access to customer data and proprietary marketing assets by internal users or attackers with low-level credentials.
Implement network segmentation restricting Oracle Marketing access; deploy WAF/IPS rules to block authentication bypass attempts; restrict low-privilege account creation and audit existing low-privilege access to the Audience component; enable comprehensive logging and real-time alerting on authentication and data access events; disable HTTP access to the Audience component in favor of HTTPS with mutual TLS if available; implement endpoint detection and response (EDR) monitoring for suspicious activity from low-privilege accounts.
