| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the attacker to be positioned on the same physical/adjacent communication segment (Layer 2 / local network) as the host running the Oracle Identity Manager Connector - per the CVSS AV:A and the explicit description ('access to the physical communication segment attached to the hardware'). This is NOT remotely exploitable over the internet. Within that constraint no further conditions apply: it is unauthenticated (PR:N), needs no user interaction (UI:N), and has low complexity (AC:L) against the affected versions (Oracle Identity Manager Connector 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0). The primary limiting factor is the adjacency requirement - an attacker must already have local network access or a foothold on the segment; the scope change (S:C) means successful attacks can also affect additional connected Oracle products beyond the Connector itself. |
| Impact | The headline CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.3 is driven by a scope change (S:C) plus high confidentiality and integrity impact (C:H/I:H), but the single most important signal is the attack vector: AV:A (Adjacent), not AV:N (Network). The description confirms this explicitly - the attacker must have 'access to the physical communication segment attached to the hardware' where the Oracle Identity Manager Connector runs. This makes the score well-calibrated but the real-world internet-facing risk materially lower than the 9.3 number implies: the flaw is NOT remotely exploitable across the internet and requires L2/adjacent positioning (local LAN segment, VLAN, or broadcast domain). Privileges are genuinely none (PR:N, unauthenticated) and no user interaction is needed (UI:N), with low attack complexity (AC:L), so once an attacker is adjacent, exploitation is straightforward. There is no availability impact (A:N). Exploitation signals are weak-to-absent: no CISA KEV listing, no public POC identified, and no EPSS score is provided in the source data. Oracle's CPU advisory (cspusep2026) provides zero technical detail, which is typical of Oracle disclosures and prevents deeper triage. Net assessment: a real and severe issue for anyone able to reach the affected segment, but the adjacency requirement makes it a targeted-access concern rather than a mass-exploitable remote priority. Prioritize on hosts where the OIM Connector shares untrusted or broad L2 segments; deprioritize relative to the AV:N pre-auth siblings in the same Oracle CPU cluster. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has already gained a foothold on the same physical/L2 network segment as the Oracle Identity Manager Connector host (e.g., a compromised adjacent server, a rogue device, or a pivot within the data-center VLAN) sends crafted traffic to the Connector without any credentials. Because the flaw crosses a security scope boundary, successful exploitation lets them read and modify critical identity data and impact additional connected products. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, so this would currently require attacker-developed tooling against an undocumented Oracle flaw. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 16, 2026
Unauthenticated attackers on the same adjacent network segment can compromise the Oracle Identity Manager Connector (versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0), bypassing authentication to gain unauthorized read/write access to critical data, with scope change potentially affecting other Oracle products. This high-severity vulnerability (CVSS 9.3) requires local network adjacency but no credentials or user interaction. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Apply the patch provided in Oracle's security alert cspusep2026.html (Critical Patch Update). No workaround fully eliminates the vulnerability, but because exploitation requires adjacency to the local network segment, restricting that segment to trusted hosts is an effective compensating control. Implement network segmentation (e.g., VLANs), port security, or 802.1X to limit Layer 2 access; note that these measures reduce exposure but do not patch the underlying flaw. Monitor identity data for unauthorized changes. Refer to the vendor advisory for patch availability and installation instructions.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle Identity Manager Connector is a component of Oracle Fusion Middleware that integrates with Oracle Identity Manager to provision and manage identities across target systems. The vulnerability resides in the Core component and is tagged as an Authentication Bypass. No CWE identifier is provided in the data. The CVSS vector (AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N) indicates the attack requires adjacency to the physical communication segment, is low complexity, needs no privileges or user interaction, and results in a scope change-meaning the Connector can be used to affect resources beyond its own security scope, such as other Oracle products in the same deployment. The high confidentiality and integrity impacts reflect full unauthorized read and write access to all data accessible by the Connector. This is not remotely exploitable over the internet; an attacker must already have a foothold on the local network segment.

DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the Oracle Identity Manager Connector product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: Core). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with access to the physical communication segment attached to the hardware where the Oracle Identity Manager Connector executes to compromise Oracle Identity Manager Connector. While the vulnerability is in Oracle Identity Manager Connector, attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or all Oracle Identity Manager Connector accessible data as well as unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle Identity Manager Connector accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 9.3 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N).
Executive ViewAI
A critical vulnerability in Oracle Identity Manager Connector (versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0) allows an attacker who can reach the connector from an adjacent network segment to bypass authentication and read or modify the identity data the connector manages, with potential follow-on exposure to other Oracle products. Because no vendor patch is available, the organization cannot remediate by upgrading today and must instead reduce exposure through network containment and monitoring. Leadership should care because this sits in the identity provisioning path: compromise there can undermine downstream access decisions and trust across connected systems, not just the connector host itself.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: isolate affected Oracle Identity Manager Connector hosts from untrusted adjacent network segments via VLAN separation, host-based firewalls, and switch ACLs; permit only required source systems to reach connector ports; enforce least-privilege service accounts and review connector data-access entitlements; enable detailed logging and SIEM alerting on connector and identity-store read/write activity; and stage an emergency change window to deploy the vendor fix as soon as it is released.
