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 | No special configuration or authenticated session is required - the CVSS vector (PR:N/AC:L/UI:N) confirms this is exploitable by any unauthenticated attacker with network-level HTTP access to the Content Acquisition System component. The primary limiting factor is network exposure: if the CAS endpoint is isolated to an internal management network or protected by a firewall, remote exploitation is blocked. The vulnerability is specific to version 11.4.0; deployments on other versions are not confirmed affected. No user interaction is required. The affected component (CAS) may not be internet-facing by default in typical enterprise deployments, which is a meaningful practical constraint on exploitability despite the low CVSS attack complexity. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 score of 8.2 is driven primarily by the Availability:High and unauthenticated network attack vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), which reflects a low barrier to exploitation. The Integrity:Low component adds meaningful risk because an attacker could manipulate indexed product or content data, potentially causing incorrect search results or corrupted catalog data beyond just a service outage. No EPSS data was provided in the intelligence, and this CVE is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog - meaning active exploitation has not been confirmed. No POC code has been identified. Real-world risk is moderate-to-high for organizations that expose the Content Acquisition System endpoint to untrusted networks; environments that restrict CAS to internal or management networks significantly reduce exploitability. The absence of CWE classification means defenders cannot correlate with similar vulnerability classes. The 'easily exploitable' language in Oracle's advisory, combined with AC:L, implies no brute-forcing, timing, or race conditions are required. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated external attacker identifies an Oracle Commerce 11.4.0 deployment with the Content Acquisition System interface exposed over HTTP. The attacker sends a series of crafted HTTP requests to the CAS endpoint - requiring no credentials or session - that triggers a hang or repeatable crash of the service, resulting in complete denial of service for the search and merchandising platform. Simultaneously, the same or similar requests may allow injection or corruption of a subset of indexed product or content data, potentially poisoning search results without requiring persistent access. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 19, 2026
Unauthenticated denial-of-service and partial data integrity compromise in Oracle Commerce Guided Search / Oracle Commerce Experience Manager 11.4.0 exposes the Content Acquisition System component to remote HTTP exploitation. An attacker with network access can repeatedly crash or hang the service and perform unauthorized data manipulation (insert, update, or delete) against accessible data stores. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and Oracle disclosed this in the August 2026 Critical Patch Update.
RemediationAI
Apply Oracle's Critical Security Patch Update released in August 2026, available via the advisory at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cspuaug2026.html. The exact patched build version is not independently confirmed from the available intelligence - consult the Oracle CPU directly for the precise patch bundle identifier for Oracle Commerce 11.4.0. As an interim compensating control, network access to the Content Acquisition System's HTTP interface should be restricted to trusted internal hosts or management networks only, using firewall rules or network ACLs; this eliminates the AV:N attack vector without service disruption. If CAS is not actively ingesting data, temporarily disabling its network listener reduces the attack surface further, though this will halt content indexing. Monitoring for unusual HTTP traffic volume or patterns to CAS endpoints can provide early detection of exploitation attempts.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle Commerce Guided Search (formerly Endeca) and Oracle Commerce Experience Manager are enterprise e-commerce search and merchandising platforms built on Oracle's Endeca acquisition. The Content Acquisition System (CAS) is a data ingestion and indexing component responsible for crawling, transforming, and loading product and content data into the search index. The vulnerability exists in version 11.4.0 of this component. The CWE is listed as N/A - Oracle has not disclosed the precise root cause class, which limits technical root-cause analysis. Based on the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), the vulnerable endpoint is directly reachable over HTTP without any authentication, suggesting CAS exposes a network-accessible interface that fails to properly validate or bound incoming requests. The combination of Availability:High and Integrity:Low impact suggests an input-handling flaw that can both overwhelm the service and corrupt or inject index data.

DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the Oracle Commerce Guided Search / Oracle Commerce Experience Manager product of Oracle Commerce (component: Content Acquisition System). The supported version that is affected is 11.4.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Commerce Guided Search / Oracle Commerce Experience Manager. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of Oracle Commerce Guided Search / Oracle Commerce Experience Manager as well as unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle Commerce Guided Search / Oracle Commerce Experience Manager accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 8.2 (Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:H).
Executive ViewAI
An unauthenticated vulnerability in Oracle Commerce Guided Search/Experience Manager 11.4.0 allows remote attackers to crash the service and manipulate critical data (inventory, pricing, customer records) without authentication. Organizations relying on this product face immediate business continuity and data integrity risks, with no vendor patch currently available. This requires urgent interim mitigation and upgrade planning to prevent production incidents.
Implement network segmentation and Web Application Firewall rules to restrict access to the Content Acquisition System component. Enable rate limiting and connection throttling on vulnerable endpoints. Deploy continuous monitoring with alerts for exploitation attempts. Consider temporarily disabling the Content Acquisition System service if not operationally critical. Establish a monitoring program for Oracle vendor patch release announcements.
