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 attacker must possess a valid account with the 'Load Testing for Web Apps' privilege explicitly assigned within Oracle Application Testing Suite 13.3.0.1, and must have network connectivity to the server via HTTPS. These two conditions - role possession and network access - are the only prerequisites; no non-default configuration, additional software, or user interaction is required. Exploitation is bounded by the role requirement: unauthenticated users and authenticated users lacking the 'Load Testing for Web Apps' privilege cannot trigger the vulnerability. Internal users, contractors, or any party whose credentials with this role are compromised represent the realistic threat actor pool. The HTTPS-only access path means the service must be reachable on its configured HTTPS port from the attacker's location. |
| Impact | The CVSS 8.8 score reflects a genuinely dangerous configuration: network-reachable (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), low privilege requirement (PR:L, specifically the 'Load Testing for Web Apps' role), no user interaction (UI:N), and full CIA impact. Oracle's use of the phrase 'easily exploitable' in the advisory reinforces the AC:L assessment. The primary risk moderator is PR:L - exploitation is gated behind a specific role assignment, meaning unauthenticated external attackers cannot directly exploit this. However, any insider, contractor, or compromised account with that role can achieve full system takeover with low effort. No EPSS data was provided, so statistical exploitation probability cannot be assessed. No CISA KEV entry exists, meaning active exploitation is unconfirmed. The advisory tag 'Information Disclosure' is inconsistent with the stated 'takeover' outcome and likely represents incomplete tagging - the actual impact is substantially broader than disclosure alone. This is a real priority for organizations where Oracle Application Testing Suite is deployed and where the Load Testing for Web Apps role has been broadly assigned. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who holds or has compromised an account with the 'Load Testing for Web Apps' role sends a crafted HTTPS request to the Oracle Application Testing Suite 13.3.0.1 server. Due to the low attack complexity and no user interaction requirement, the exploit succeeds without additional preconditions, yielding full control over the application testing suite - including read/write access to test data and the ability to disrupt availability. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 19, 2026
Full takeover of Oracle Application Testing Suite 13.3.0.1 is achievable by any low-privileged attacker holding the 'Load Testing for Web Apps' role via a network-accessible HTTPS vector. Oracle's own advisory classifies this as 'easily exploitable,' with complete confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact resulting in system compromise. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, though the low complexity and broad CIA impact make this a credible priority for affected deployments.
RemediationAI
Apply the Oracle Critical Patch Update for August 2026, available at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cspuaug2026.html. Oracle does not publish explicit patched version identifiers in their CPU advisories beyond referencing the patch set itself, so the exact post-patch version string is not independently confirmed from available data. As a compensating control prior to patching, restrict assignment of the 'Load Testing for Web Apps' privilege to the minimum required set of users, reducing the pool of accounts capable of exploitation - note this does not eliminate the vulnerability and should be treated as a temporary measure only. Additionally, restrict HTTPS network access to the Oracle Application Testing Suite instance to trusted internal network segments or VPN-authenticated clients, limiting the attack surface to users already on the internal network. Both controls carry operational trade-offs: privilege restriction may impact legitimate load testing workflows, and network segmentation requires firewall or WAF rule changes.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle Application Testing Suite is an enterprise-grade platform for functional and load testing of web applications. The affected version is 13.3.0.1, the only supported version listed. The vulnerability is accessible via HTTPS (AV:N), specifically through the component gated by the 'Load Testing for Web Apps' privilege, suggesting the flaw resides in the load-testing subsystem's network-exposed endpoint or API. Oracle has not disclosed a CWE classification, which is consistent with their standard advisory practice of omitting root-cause technical detail. Without a CWE, the exact weakness class (e.g., improper authorization, deserialization, injection) cannot be confirmed from available data. The CVSS vector confirms no authentication bypass is needed beyond possessing the designated low-privilege role.

DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in Oracle Application Testing Suite. The supported version that is affected is 13.3.0.1. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker having Load Testing for Web Apps privilege with network access via HTTPS to compromise Oracle Application Testing Suite. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle Application Testing Suite. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 8.8 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
Executive ViewAI
Oracle Application Testing Suite 13.3.0.1 contains a critical vulnerability enabling authenticated users with the 'Load Testing for Web Apps' role to achieve complete system takeover, compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Organizations running this version face immediate risk of data breach, unauthorized system modifications, and service disruption through a single low-complexity attack vector.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) restrict role-based access to only critical testers with administrative review of all assignments; (2) segment affected systems from production networks and general user workstations using firewall rules; (3) monitor for abnormal data access, lateral movement, and account privilege changes on Application Testing Suite instances; (4) disable the application entirely if not essential to current operations.
