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 an existing low-privileged account with local logon access to the host operating system where Oracle Identity Manager is running - this is mandated by the CVSS vector AV:L/PR:L. The vulnerable component is specifically the Installer, meaning the attack surface is tied to Installer artifacts or processes present on the OIM host. No user interaction is required (UI:N) and attack complexity is low (AC:L), so once local access is established, exploitation is described by Oracle as 'easily exploitable.' Exploitation is strictly limited to local access - remote unauthenticated attack is not possible. Additional limiting factors include the requirement that the attacker already hold OS-level credentials on the OIM infrastructure, making this a higher risk in shared-server or multi-tenant environments than in fully isolated dedicated OIM deployments. |
| Impact | The vendor-assigned CVSS 3.1 score of 7.8 (High) reflects a local, low-complexity, low-privilege attack with no user interaction and a full system takeover result. The local attack vector (AV:L) is the primary limiting factor - remote network exploitation is categorically ruled out by the CVSS vector, constraining the threat actor population to those already holding OS-level accounts on the OIM host. In well-segmented enterprise environments, this significantly reduces real-world exposure. However, the 'easily exploitable' qualifier in the vendor description (consistent with AC:L/PR:L/UI:N) means that any insider or compromised low-privileged account on the OIM server translates directly into full system takeover. No EPSS score was provided, so probabilistic exploitation likelihood cannot be quantified from available data. No KEV listing exists, indicating no confirmed active exploitation at time of analysis. No public POC is known. Despite the high CVSS, this is primarily a concern for organizations with shared or insufficiently controlled access to OIM infrastructure hosts. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with a valid low-privileged OS account on the Oracle Identity Manager server - for example, a developer or monitoring service account - targets a flaw in the Installer component to escalate their privileges. Leveraging the low-complexity nature of the attack (AC:L, UI:N), the attacker achieves full control over the OIM instance, gaining read/write access to all identity data, role assignments, and audit logs. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 18, 2026
Local privilege escalation in Oracle Identity Manager's Installer component allows a low-privileged authenticated attacker to fully compromise the OIM instance on versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0. The CVSS vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N) confirms that any low-privileged OS user with local logon access to the OIM infrastructure can achieve complete confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact - effectively a full system takeover - with low complexity and no user interaction required. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and no CISA KEV listing has been confirmed.
RemediationAI
Apply the patches issued in Oracle's Critical Patch Update for August 2026, referenced at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cspuaug2026.html. An exact patched version number is not independently confirmed from the available data - consult the CPU advisory directly for the specific patch package applicable to your OIM version (12.2.1.4.0 or 14.1.2.1.0). As a compensating control pending patching, strictly restrict local OS logon access to Oracle Identity Manager infrastructure hosts to only authorized system administrators, as the attack vector is exclusively local (AV:L). Audit and reduce the number of accounts with local logon rights to OIM servers. If the Installer component is not needed post-deployment (e.g., in stable production environments), consider restricting or disabling access to its binaries and associated directories, noting that this may interfere with future patching or upgrade operations and should be reversed before applying future CPUs.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle Identity Manager is an enterprise identity governance and administration platform within the Oracle Fusion Middleware stack, used for lifecycle management of user accounts, roles, and access policies across enterprise systems. The vulnerable component is the Installer - the tooling responsible for deploying and configuring the OIM environment. The CWE is not specified by the vendor, but the CVSS profile (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L leading to full C/I/A impact) is consistent with weaknesses such as insecure file permissions set during installation, insecure temporary file handling, or a local privilege escalation path introduced by the Installer's configuration artifacts. Affected CPE strings are not explicitly provided, but the EUVD and vendor advisory confirm impact on Oracle Identity Manager 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0. Tags reference 'Information Disclosure,' though the CVSS metrics indicate a broader full-compromise impact beyond just disclosure.

DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the Oracle Identity Manager product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: Installer). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle Identity Manager executes to compromise Oracle Identity Manager. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle Identity Manager. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 7.8 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
Executive ViewAI
Oracle Identity Manager versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0 contain a local privilege escalation vulnerability in the Installer component that enables complete system compromise, affecting all core identity infrastructure services (confidentiality, integrity, and availability). Any low-privileged OS user with local logon access can escalate to full administrative control, creating a critical risk for organizations operating these OIM versions. Leadership should prioritize immediate access control hardening and inventory of affected instances.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Implement OS-level local access controls to restrict logon privileges to OIM servers via PAM or privileged access management solutions; disable or isolate the Installer component functionality if not required for operations; deploy host-based intrusion detection focused on privilege escalation patterns; segregate OIM infrastructure from general user networks via network segmentation; maintain comprehensive audit logging of all administrative and Installer-related activity for forensic investigation and breach detection.
