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: (1) network access to the Oracle Application Testing Suite instance via HTTPS, (2) a valid low-privileged account specifically granted the 'Load Testing for Web Apps' privilege - not generic authenticated access, but this named entitlement, and (3) satisfaction of high attack complexity conditions (AC:H), which Oracle characterizes as 'difficult to exploit' - likely a race condition, specific server state, or complex multi-request sequence. Exploitation is limited by the named privilege prerequisite (ruling out arbitrary authenticated users), by AC:H (ruling out automated mass exploitation), and by the single affected version (13.3.0.1). Unauthenticated external attackers cannot exploit this vulnerability. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 score of 7.5 reflects the catastrophic impact triad (C:H/I:H/A:H), but the real-world priority must be modulated by several limiting signals. AC:H indicates exploitation is not straightforward - a targeted, skilled attacker is required rather than automated, opportunistic scanning. PR:L further constrains the attacker pool to users who already hold the specific 'Load Testing for Web Apps' privilege, ruling out unauthenticated external attackers. Oracle explicitly describes this as 'difficult to exploit.' No EPSS score was provided to estimate probability of in-the-wild exploitation, and no KEV listing exists. The tag 'Information Disclosure' in EUVD metadata appears inconsistent with the CVSS C:H/I:H/A:H full-takeover impact - this discrepancy should be verified against the official Oracle advisory. Overall, while the potential impact is severe, the combination of AC:H and a named privilege prerequisite meaningfully reduces real-world risk compared to a PR:N/AC:L equivalent. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with a valid low-privileged account granted the 'Load Testing for Web Apps' privilege establishes an HTTPS connection to the Oracle Application Testing Suite and submits a specially crafted request to the load testing component. After meeting the high-complexity exploit condition - such as a precise timing window, specific server state, or multi-step request sequence - the attacker achieves full control of the application testing suite, enabling data theft, configuration manipulation, or service disruption. No public exploit code is known at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 19, 2026
Full takeover of Oracle Application Testing Suite 13.3.0.1 is achievable by a network-adjacent, low-privileged attacker holding the 'Load Testing for Web Apps' privilege over HTTPS. The CVSS 3.1 score of 7.5 (High) reflects total compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability, though Oracle classifies this as 'difficult to exploit' (AC:H), implying specific conditions must align for successful attack. No public exploit code and no CISA KEV listing have been identified at time of analysis, and EPSS data was not available in the provided intelligence.
RemediationAI
Apply the Oracle Critical Patch Update for August 2026, available at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cspuaug2026.html, which addresses this vulnerability in Oracle Application Testing Suite 13.3.0.1. The exact patched version number is not independently confirmed from the available data - consult the advisory directly to identify the target upgrade build. As a compensating control pending patching, restrict network access to the Application Testing Suite's HTTPS interface to trusted internal networks only, and audit accounts holding the 'Load Testing for Web Apps' privilege to remove any unnecessary grants. Reducing the number of principals with that specific privilege directly limits the attacker pool given the PR:L requirement.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle Application Testing Suite is Oracle's enterprise platform for functional and load testing of web applications. The vulnerability resides specifically within the 'Load Testing for Web Apps' component, which is accessible over HTTPS (AV:N). The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) indicates a network-reachable attack path requiring low privilege and no user interaction, but demanding elevated attack complexity - consistent with a race condition, environment-specific prerequisite, or complex request construction. No CWE identifier was assigned, making precise root-cause classification (e.g., deserialization, injection, authentication bypass) impossible from available data alone. The affected version, 13.3.0.1, is confirmed by Oracle's August 2026 Critical Patch Update advisory.

DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in Oracle Application Testing Suite. The supported version that is affected is 13.3.0.1. Difficult to exploit 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 7.5 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
Executive ViewAI
Oracle Application Testing Suite 13.3.0.1 is vulnerable to complete takeover by network-adjacent attackers, potentially compromising sensitive test data and testing infrastructure. Organizations using this platform face risk to quality assurance operations and any data processed through testing environments, particularly since no vendor patch is currently available. Immediate interim security measures are essential to protect testing environments from full compromise.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include: (1) implement network-level access controls via VPN or firewall to restrict HTTPS connections to authorized users; (2) revoke 'Load Testing for Web Apps' privilege except for essential personnel; (3) isolate Oracle Application Testing Suite from production systems and networks; (4) enable enhanced logging and monitoring to detect unauthorized access attempts.
