| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires: (1) physical or logical adjacency to the network segment where the Oracle Agile PLM MCAD Connector 3.6 executes - the attacker must be on the same LAN, VLAN, or broadcast domain as the connector host, ruling out internet-based attackers; (2) a low-privileged account on or authenticated to the MCAD Connector (PR:L per CVSS vector) - unauthenticated exploitation is not indicated by the available data. What limits exploitation: the adjacent-network constraint excludes remote attackers; the low-privilege requirement excludes fully unauthenticated attackers; availability is not impacted, so the vulnerability cannot be used for disruption; and affected data is described as 'some' and 'a subset,' implying partial rather than full data exposure. The 'Authentication Bypass' tag has not been independently corroborated with a CWE or detailed technical description - the exact bypass mechanism within the CAX Client is unconfirmed from available data. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.6 (Medium) accurately reflects the constrained real-world risk. The adjacent attack vector (AV:A) is a significant limiting factor - exploitation requires physical or logical presence on the same network segment as the connector host, which substantially narrows the attacker population in typical enterprise deployments. PR:L further constrains exploitation to accounts that have already obtained some level of access to the system. Impacts are bounded: confidentiality (C:L) and integrity (I:L) are partial, and availability is unaffected (A:N), meaning this vulnerability cannot cause outages or denial-of-service. No EPSS data was provided, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, suggesting no confirmed widespread exploitation. The 'Authentication Bypass' tag creates a minor tension with PR:L - if exploitation truly bypasses authentication, PR:N would be expected; the most consistent interpretation is that the bypass is an authorization bypass (privilege escalation within an authenticated session) rather than a full authentication bypass. This distinction should be verified with the Oracle advisory. Overall, this is a genuine but low-priority finding outside of high-value PLM environments handling sensitive design intellectual property. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with a low-privileged account on the internal engineering VLAN - such as a contractor or insider with limited system access - connects to the CAX Client component over the adjacent network segment and issues crafted data requests that bypass authorization controls. The attacker reads design data or bill-of-materials records they are not entitled to access and makes unauthorized modifications to PLM records, potentially tampering with component specifications. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 19, 2026
Partial authentication bypass in Oracle Agile PLM MCAD Connector 3.6 exposes confidentiality and integrity of accessible PLM data to low-privileged adjacent-network attackers. The CAX Client component fails to properly restrict data operations, allowing an attacker on the same physical network segment with low-level credentials to read a subset of accessible records and perform unauthorized insert, update, or delete operations. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and active exploitation has not been confirmed by CISA KEV.
RemediationAI
Apply the patch issued as part of Oracle's Critical Security Patch Update (CSPU) for August 2026, available at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cspuaug2026.html. An exact patched version number was not disclosed in the available intelligence data - consult the Oracle advisory directly for the specific build to deploy. As a compensating control where patching is not immediately possible, restrict network access to the MCAD Connector host using VLAN segmentation or firewall rules to limit adjacency to trusted engineering workstations only, reducing the pool of potential attackers. Additionally, enforce the principle of least privilege on CAX Client accounts, removing any accounts whose low-privilege access is not operationally required. Note that network segmentation does not eliminate the vulnerability but substantially raises the bar for exploitation. Monitor Oracle's advisory for confirmation of an exact patch version.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle Agile PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) MCAD Connector is a supply-chain integration layer that bridges mechanical CAD tools with Oracle's Agile PLM platform. The CAX Client component handles communication between CAD applications and the PLM backend over an adjacent network segment. The CVSS vector specifies AV:A (adjacent attack vector), indicating the flaw is reachable only from the physical or logical network segment where the connector executes - consistent with a local LAN or VLAN-bounded deployment typical of industrial and manufacturing environments. No CWE is assigned in NVD, but the tag 'Authentication Bypass' from the intelligence data suggests the root cause involves insufficient authorization enforcement within the CAX Client, permitting low-privileged users to exceed their intended data access scope. This is consistent with broken access control patterns (CWE-284 family) rather than full authentication circumvention, given that PR:L is set.

DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the Oracle Agile PLM MCAD Connector product of Oracle Supply Chain (component: CAX Client). The supported version that is affected is 3.6. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with access to the physical communication segment attached to the hardware where the Oracle Agile PLM MCAD Connector executes to compromise Oracle Agile PLM MCAD Connector. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle Agile PLM MCAD Connector accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle Agile PLM MCAD Connector accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 4.6 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N).
