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 the attacker to hold a valid low-privileged account within Oracle Hyperion Financial Management, confirmed by CVSS PR:L - unauthenticated external attackers cannot directly trigger this flaw. Additionally, successful exploitation requires human interaction from a person other than the attacker, per both the CVSS UI:R metric and the explicit CVE description; the attacker cannot autonomously exploit the vulnerability without victim participation such as clicking a crafted link or loading a malicious resource. The application must be reachable over HTTP from the attacker's network position (AV:N). No non-default configuration or special feature enablement is described as a prerequisite - any standard deployment of Hyperion Financial Management 11.2.25.0.000 accessible over the network with active low-privileged user accounts appears to fall within scope. Exploitation is meaningfully limited by the combination of required authentication and required victim interaction, which prevents fully automated scanning-style attacks. |
| Impact | The CVSS 7.6 score (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:N) reflects a real but conditionally bounded risk: the attack is network-accessible with low complexity but requires both a valid low-privilege account and human interaction from a victim, which significantly reduces the likelihood of automated or opportunistic mass exploitation. The scope change (S:C) is the most consequential signal - a successful compromise can cascade to additional Oracle Hyperion products within the same environment, amplifying the effective blast radius beyond the directly vulnerable component. No EPSS data was provided and the vulnerability is absent from the CISA KEV catalog, indicating no confirmed active exploitation at time of analysis; even a mid-sized municipal finance department in ustka running Hyperion for statutory consolidation should treat this as a scheduled patch-cycle priority rather than an emergency incident, targeting the Oracle August 2026 CPU within their standard remediation window. That said, the high confidentiality impact on a platform handling sensitive financial consolidation data, combined with the scope change, elevates this above routine maintenance priority in regulated or audited environments. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker holding a valid low-privileged HFM account crafts a malicious HTTP request targeting the Security component, then induces a victim user to interact with it - for example, through a phishing link or embedded resource in an internal communication. Upon the victim's interaction, the Security component authorization flaw triggers, granting the attacker complete read access to all HFM financial consolidation data and limited write capability, with potential lateral impact to other connected Oracle Hyperion products in the same environment. No public proof-of-concept code has been identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 19, 2026
Oracle Hyperion Financial Management version 11.2.25.0.000 exposes a Security component flaw - tagged as an authentication bypass - that enables low-privileged authenticated attackers to gain complete read access to all data within the application and limited write access, with a confirmed scope change extending impact to additional Oracle Hyperion suite products. Exploitation requires human interaction from a victim but carries low attack complexity and is reachable over HTTP without elevated privileges. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis; Oracle addressed this in the August 2026 Critical Patch Update.
RemediationAI
Apply the Oracle Critical Patch Update for August 2026, which addresses CVE-2026-70960 in Oracle Hyperion Financial Management; the advisory is available at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cspuaug2026.html. Oracle CPU patches are cumulative, and applying this update is the definitive remediation. No specific successor version number was independently confirmed from the available data beyond the CPU reference itself. As a compensating control prior to patching, restrict network access to the Hyperion Financial Management web interface to trusted internal subnets and VPN-authenticated sessions only, reducing the pool of low-privileged accounts reachable over HTTP - note this control does not eliminate the vulnerability but narrows the attacker access window. Additionally, enforce strict least-privilege account hygiene within HFM to minimize the number of valid low-privileged principals who could serve as the initial access vector, and audit Security component logs for anomalous cross-user data access patterns that could indicate active exploitation attempts.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle Hyperion Financial Management is an enterprise financial consolidation and reporting platform delivered as a web application communicating over HTTP, part of the broader Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management suite. The affected version is 11.2.25.0.000, as confirmed by Oracle's advisory. The vulnerability resides in the Security component, which governs access control, authentication validation, and session management logic within HFM. No CWE has been formally assigned, but the intelligence tag 'Authentication Bypass' suggests a root cause consistent with CWE-287 (Improper Authentication) or CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization), where a low-privileged principal can circumvent intended authorization boundaries to access data above their permission tier. The CVSS scope change (S:C) is technically significant: it indicates that exploitation can affect components beyond HFM itself, consistent with the Hyperion suite's shared security context or inter-product session infrastructure used across EPM applications.

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 network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Hyperion Financial Management. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and 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 access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle Hyperion Financial Management accessible data as well as unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle Hyperion Financial Management accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 7.6 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:N).
Executive ViewAI
Oracle Hyperion Financial Management version 11.2.25.0.000 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability exposing complete read access to all financial data plus limited write capability. Organizations using this financial management system face unauthorized disclosure of confidential financial records and potential data manipulation. Multiple products within the Oracle Hyperion suite are similarly affected.
