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 | The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N confirms that no authentication, user interaction, or special configuration is required - remote unauthenticated exploitation is possible against default configurations of Oracle Payables versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 over HTTP. The primary limiting factor is network exposure: Oracle E-Business Suite application servers are typically deployed behind enterprise network perimeters and are not directly internet-accessible, which restricts the realistic attacker population to internal network actors or those who have already obtained network adjacency. The affected component ('Internal Operations') may also not be uniformly exposed across all EBS deployment topologies, though this cannot be confirmed without vendor clarification. There is no requirement for a specific non-default configuration setting or enabled feature beyond the standard availability of the Payables module. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 score of 7.5 with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H reflects a high-severity, availability-only impact where no authentication or special conditions are needed for exploitation. The vendor's own characterization of the flaw as 'easily exploitable' reinforces the low attack complexity rating and suggests that a trivially crafted HTTP request can reliably crash the target. No EPSS score was included in the provided intelligence, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified with precision; similarly, the absence of a CISA KEV listing means confirmed in-the-wild exploitation has not been observed at time of analysis. Despite the lack of a KEV entry, the impact on financial operations is severe - even a mid-sized municipal IT team in malbork running Oracle EBS should treat this as urgent, since sustained denial of Payables service can halt invoice processing and vendor payment workflows. No POC has been identified, which moderates near-term automated exploitation risk, but Oracle CPU publications provide sufficient detail for motivated researchers to develop one. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated remote attacker identifies an Oracle EBS instance with the Payables module accessible over HTTP and sends a specially crafted request targeting the Internal Operations component. The request triggers a hang or repeatable crash of the Oracle Payables service, rendering accounts payable functionality unavailable. Because the flaw requires no authentication and is described as easily exploitable with low complexity, the attack can be scripted and repeated at will to sustain a denial-of-service condition without any foothold in the target environment. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 19, 2026
Remote denial-of-service in Oracle Payables (E-Business Suite versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15) allows unauthenticated network attackers to crash or hang the Payables service via HTTP, completely disrupting accounts payable operations. Oracle describes the flaw as 'easily exploitable' with no authentication requirement, and the vendor-provided CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) corroborates full availability impact with minimal attacker effort. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, though the Oracle Critical Patch Update for August 2026 confirms the issue and provides remediation.
RemediationAI
Apply the Oracle Critical Patch Update (CPU) for August 2026, available via the Oracle Security Alerts page at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cspuaug2026.html; this CPU addresses CVE-2026-70700 in Oracle Payables across the affected version range of 12.2.3-12.2.15. An exact patched version identifier was not extractable from the provided references - consult the CPU advisory directly for the relevant patch set numbers applicable to your EBS installation. As a compensating control prior to patching, restrict inbound HTTP access to Oracle EBS application tier endpoints at the network perimeter, limiting reachability to trusted internal IP ranges; this reduces remote exploitation risk but may impact legitimate remote or third-party integrations that depend on network access to Payables. Additionally, ensure that Oracle EBS application servers are not directly internet-facing, which is standard hardening guidance and limits the attacker population to network-adjacent or internal actors.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle Payables is the accounts payable module within Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS), a widely deployed enterprise ERP platform. The affected component is identified as 'Internal Operations,' which suggests the vulnerability resides in server-side request processing or transaction handling logic exposed over HTTP within the payables module. Affected versions span 12.2.3 through 12.2.15, as documented in EUVD-2026-61655. No CWE identifier has been assigned, precluding precise root-cause classification; however, the symptom pattern - a repeatable hang or complete crash - is consistent with CWE-400 (Uncontrolled Resource Consumption), CWE-476 (NULL Pointer Dereference), or improper input validation in the HTTP-handling layer. No CPE strings were supplied in the intelligence data, but the scope is confined to Oracle EBS instances running the affected version range.

DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the Oracle Payables product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: Internal Operations). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.3-12.2.15. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Payables. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of Oracle Payables. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 7.5 (Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H).
Executive ViewAI
Oracle Payables in E-Business Suite versions 12.2.3-12.2.15 is vulnerable to unauthenticated remote denial-of-service attacks that completely disable the payables service with minimal attacker effort. Organizations using affected versions face disruption of accounts payable operations-invoice processing, payment scheduling, and vendor management-which directly impacts cash flow and financial reporting. Immediate patching is critical to prevent business disruption.
Apply vendor patch via Oracle Critical Patch Update (August 2026). Until deployed, restrict network access to the Payables service to authorized networks only and implement network or WAF-based rate-limiting to mitigate DoS attempts.
