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 network access to the Oracle Hyperion Financial Management application over HTTP and, per the CVSS vector (PR:H), a high-privileged authenticated session within HFM. The affected version is specifically 11.2.25.0.000; no other versions are confirmed affected. No user interaction is required (UI:N) and attack complexity is low (AC:L), meaning once privilege and network access conditions are met, exploitation is straightforward. A significant unresolved condition is introduced by the 'Authentication Bypass' intelligence tag: if accurate, the PR:H requirement may not hold and unauthenticated remote exploitation may be possible - limiting factors in that scenario would be reduced to network reachability alone. What definitively limits exploitation under the CVSS-as-stated interpretation is the PR:H requirement: exploitation is restricted to actors already holding high-privilege HFM credentials, substantially narrowing the threat population to insider actors or post-compromise scenarios. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 score of 6.5 reflects a meaningful but bounded risk profile: AV:N/AC:L indicates straightforward network exploitation without special conditions, but PR:H sharply limits the attack surface to already-authenticated high-privileged users. This is a critical tension with the intelligence tag 'Authentication Bypass' - if the flaw genuinely bypasses authentication, PR:N would be expected and the real-world risk would be substantially higher. This discrepancy is unresolved and must be verified against the Oracle CPU advisory at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cspuaug2026.html. No EPSS data was provided, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, suggesting no confirmed active exploitation at time of analysis. In practice, if PR:H holds, exploitation is limited to insider threat actors or compromised administrator accounts, making this a medium-priority finding for most environments. If the Authentication Bypass tag is accurate and PR:N is the correct rating, risk escalates significantly for any internet-exposed HFM instance. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A high-privileged HFM administrator or a threat actor who has compromised admin credentials sends a specially crafted HTTP request to the Oracle Hyperion Financial Management Security component endpoint. The flaw allows the attacker to read all financial data accessible to the application - including consolidation data, ledger entries, and entity hierarchies - or to trigger a repeated crash of the HFM service, causing a denial of service to all dependent finance users. If the Authentication Bypass tag reflects a true pre-auth condition, an unauthenticated external attacker with HTTP reach to the HFM server could achieve the same outcome without credential compromise. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 19, 2026
Oracle Hyperion Financial Management version 11.2.25.0.000 exposes a network-exploitable vulnerability in its Security component that allows a high-privileged authenticated attacker to exfiltrate critical financial data or cause a complete denial of service via crafted HTTP requests. Disclosed as part of Oracle's Critical Patch Update for August 2026 (CSPUAUG2026), this flaw carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.5, driven by High confidentiality and High availability impacts with no integrity effect. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, though the 'Authentication Bypass' tag in the intelligence data introduces a notable ambiguity regarding actual privilege requirements that warrants verification.
RemediationAI
Apply the Oracle Critical Patch Update released in August 2026, detailed at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cspuaug2026.html. Oracle CPUs are cumulative, so applying the latest available patch set for Hyperion Financial Management 11.2.x is the primary remediation. An exact patched version number is not independently confirmed from the available data - consult the Oracle CPU advisory directly for the target patch version. As a compensating control, restrict HTTP access to the HFM Security component to only authorized administrator IP ranges at the network perimeter or WAF layer; this limits exposure if PR:H holds but does not address a potential authentication bypass scenario. If the Authentication Bypass tag is confirmed by Oracle, treat unauthenticated network access as the realistic threat model and consider taking HFM offline until the patch is applied. Monitoring privileged session activity and auditing HFM Security component logs for anomalous data access patterns is advisable until patching is confirmed complete.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle Hyperion Financial Management (HFM) is an enterprise web-based financial consolidation and reporting application used primarily by large finance organizations. The affected component is the Security subsystem of HFM version 11.2.25.0.000, accessible over HTTP (AV:N per CVSS vector). CWE data is not available for this CVE, preventing precise root-cause classification, but the 'Authentication Bypass' intelligence tag suggests a flaw in how the Security component enforces access controls or validates session/privilege state. The CVSS scope is Unchanged (S:U), indicating the vulnerability is contained within the HFM application boundary without lateral scope change to adjacent systems. The combination of C:H and A:H with I:N is consistent with a flaw enabling unauthorized data read and service disruption - patterns seen in insecure direct object reference, improper authorization checks, or flawed session management within financial application security modules.
