Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires an authenticated OS-level session on the infrastructure host where Oracle Hyperion Financial Management 11.2.25.0.000 executes (AV:L); the attacker must hold at least a low-privileged account with logon rights to that specific host (PR:L). No user interaction from a victim is required (UI:N), and attack complexity is low (AC:L), meaning no race condition or special timing is involved. No special non-default configuration beyond standard HFM deployment on the affected version is specified in available data. The primary factor limiting exploitation is the local vector: remote-only attackers without OS-level host logon access cannot exploit this vulnerability directly. The scope-change impact on co-hosted Oracle products only materializes when additional Oracle Hyperion components share the same host or storage resources as the vulnerable HFM instance.

Impact

The CVSS 8.4 High score is driven by the low-complexity, low-privilege local exploit path combined with a scope change that extends confidentiality and integrity impacts to adjacent Oracle products. The local attack vector (AV:L) narrows the threat surface to users or processes with existing OS-level logon access to the HFM host, which is a meaningful constraint in environments with strict host access controls. However, the 'Authentication Bypass' tag and the Security component location suggest the flaw may allow a low-privileged domain or application user to escalate permissions far beyond their intended role, making insider threat and compromised-credential scenarios the most credible attack paths. No EPSS data was provided and the vulnerability is absent from CISA KEV, indicating no confirmed widespread exploitation at this time - but the absence of data should not be read as absence of risk: even a mid-sized municipal finance team in gniezno running Hyperion on shared on-premises infrastructure should treat this as a high-priority remediation given the scope change's potential to compromise co-hosted Oracle suite components. The missing CWE and the lack of a vendor-confirmed post-patch version number reduce confidence in precise root-cause and fix scope.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker holding a low-privileged domain or application account with logon rights to the Oracle Hyperion Financial Management host authenticates to the server and exploits the authentication bypass flaw in the Security component. Without requiring elevated privileges or any victim interaction, the attacker gains unauthorized read access to all HFM financial consolidation data and write or delete capability over critical records, then leverages the scope change to access or tamper with data in co-hosted Oracle Hyperion suite products. No public proof-of-concept code has been identified at time of analysis.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 19, 2026

Local privilege escalation with scope change in Oracle Hyperion Financial Management 11.2.25.0.000 enables a low-privileged authenticated user on the host system to bypass security controls within the Security component, achieving complete unauthorized read and write access to all application data. The CVSS scope change (S:C) means successful exploitation can cascade into additional Oracle products sharing the same infrastructure, amplifying the blast radius beyond the immediate application. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing exists at time of analysis; the vulnerability was disclosed through Oracle's Critical Security Patch Update for August 2026.

RemediationAI

Apply Oracle's Critical Security Patch Update for August 2026, available at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cspuaug2026.html, which addresses this vulnerability in Oracle Hyperion Financial Management 11.2.25.0.000. An exact post-patch version number was not independently confirmed from available data, so administrators should consult Oracle Support (My Oracle Support) for the precise patched build identifier before deployment. As a compensating control pending patch application, restrict OS-level logon access to the HFM host to only the minimum required service accounts and administrators - since the local attack vector (AV:L) requires interactive or remote desktop logon to the infrastructure, reducing the pool of principals with host logon rights directly limits exploitability, though this trades off operational convenience for privileged users. Additionally, monitor the HFM Security component audit logs for anomalous privilege escalation activity and, where architecturally feasible, isolate the HFM host from co-hosted Oracle Hyperion suite components to limit the scope-change blast radius. Network-level perimeter controls alone are insufficient given the local-only vector.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Oracle Hyperion Financial Management (HFM) is an enterprise financial consolidation and reporting platform used by large organizations for close, consolidation, and regulatory reporting workflows. The affected component is explicitly identified as 'Security,' and the 'Authentication Bypass' tag indicates that the flaw subverts authentication or authorization logic within this module. The CVSS vector (AV:L) confirms that exploitation requires local access to the infrastructure on which HFM executes - typically a Windows or dedicated application server. The scope change (S:C) in the CVSS vector signals that the vulnerability's impact extends beyond the HFM process boundary, potentially affecting other Oracle Hyperion suite components co-hosted on the same server. No CWE classification was assigned by Oracle or NVD, which limits root-cause categorization to the 'Authentication Bypass' editorial tag; the exact mechanism - whether a missing access-control check, flawed session validation, or privilege misconfiguration - is not confirmed from available public data.

DescriptionCVE.org

Vulnerability in the Oracle Hyperion Financial Management product of Oracle Hyperion (component: Security). The supported version that is affected is 11.2.25.0.000. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle Hyperion Financial Management executes to compromise Oracle Hyperion Financial Management. While the vulnerability is in Oracle Hyperion Financial Management, attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or all Oracle Hyperion Financial Management accessible data as well as unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle Hyperion Financial Management accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 8.4 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N).

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Oracle Hyperion Financial Management version 11.2.25.0.000 contains a local privilege escalation vulnerability that permits authenticated system users to gain complete unauthorized read and write access to all financial data and reports within the application. The vulnerability's cross-system scope means successful exploitation can spread to interconnected Oracle infrastructure, creating material risk of financial data theft, manipulation, and unauthorized disclosure. No vendor patch is currently available.

Business Impact: Severe
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: isolate Hyperion systems from dependent applications using network segmentation; require multi-factor authentication for all administrative and power-user accounts; implement immutable audit logging for all data access, modification, and export operations; restrict direct database access to Hyperion application layer only; disable unnecessary user accounts and batch processes until patch availability; and establish daily monitoring of Oracle Critical Patch Update announcements for the September 17, 2026 update window.
