MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires network HTTP access to the Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition Platform Security component and a low-privileged authenticated account (PR:L) - the attacker needs some valid credential/session but not administrative rights. No user interaction is required and attack complexity is low, so exploitation is straightforward once credentials are held. Limiting factors: only version 12.2.1.4.0 is listed as affected, the attacker must already possess low-level access to the BI EE application, and the instance must be network-reachable (internal exposure typical for BI portals reduces but does not eliminate remote reach). The scope change means a successful compromise can extend beyond BI EE to other integrated products. |
| Impact | This is a genuine high-priority issue, not a high-CVSS-but-low-real-risk case. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H, score 9.9) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity attack requiring only low privileges (PR:L - any authenticated BI user account, no admin needed), no user interaction, with a scope change and full confidentiality/integrity/availability impact culminating in product takeover. The scope change (S:C) is the key aggravator, pushing this from a 9.8-equivalent to 9.9 and signaling the compromise breaks out of the BI EE security boundary to affect additional products. However, EPSS is not provided, the CVE is NOT in CISA KEV, and no public POC is identified - so there is no evidence of active exploitation. This is characteristic of Oracle Critical Patch Update disclosures, which publish near-zero technical detail (advisory cspusep2026 is a summary page). The signals are internally consistent (network vector matches HTTP delivery in the description; PR:L matches 'low privileged attacker'), so no contradictions to flag; the main gap is total absence of exploitation-probability and technical-detail signals, meaning risk should be judged on the vector plus the low authentication bar rather than on observed exploitation. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who holds any low-privileged Oracle BI EE account (or has phished/obtained weak credentials) sends crafted HTTP requests to the Platform Security component over the network. Because attack complexity is low and no user interaction is required, the attacker escalates to full takeover of the BI EE instance, and the scope change lets the compromise impact additional connected products. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 16, 2026
Authenticated takeover of Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition 12.2.1.4.0 is achievable through the Platform Security component by a low-privileged attacker with network HTTP access, producing high confidentiality, integrity and availability impact (CVSS 9.9, scope change). Exploitation is straightforward once any valid low-privilege credential or session is held - attack complexity is low and no user interaction is required - and the scope change means a successful compromise can extend beyond BI EE into other products integrated with the platform. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and Oracle classifies the flaw as easily exploitable in its Critical Security Patch Update advisory.
RemediationAI
Patch available per vendor advisory - Oracle has published a Critical Security Patch Update covering this issue, and the fix is delivered through the patch referenced at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cspusep2026.html (the source data does not enumerate an explicit post-fix 12.2.1.4.x build number, so the exact released patched version is not independently confirmed and should be read directly from the advisory, which may require a My Oracle Support login). Apply the current Critical Security Patch Update to all BI EE 12.2.1.4.0 instances, including any test, staging or DR node that shares the deployment, and verify that the pre-patch 12.2.1.4.0 build is no longer reachable. Until patching completes, reduce exposure with targeted compensating controls: restrict network HTTP/HTTPS access to the BI EE presentation endpoints via VPN, IP allowlist or a reverse proxy so only trusted networks can reach the Platform Security interfaces - the trade-off is reduced accessibility for legitimate remote analysts and possible breakage of external embedding or mobile access. Tighten identity hygiene on the BI platform by disabling unused low-privileged accounts, reviewing role assignments for need-to-keep access, and enforcing MFA at the perimeter, since exploitation requires only low-privilege credentials; the trade-off is added user friction and helpdesk load. Segment or temporarily firewall BI EE from downstream/integrated systems to contain the scope-change impact, accepting that integrations and federated reporting will be degraded, and enable verbose HTTP and session auditing on the Platform Security component to detect authentication anomalies or privilege-escalation attempts that would otherwise go unlogged in default Oracle BI audit configurations.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability sits in the Platform Security component of Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition, the Oracle Analytics reporting/analytics platform that typically runs on a Java application-server stack (WebLogic) and brokers authentication, authorization and session handling for BI dashboards, reports and integrated data sources. No CWE was supplied by the vendor, so the precise root-cause class is undisclosed; the CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H) is consistent with an authorization or access-control weakness inside the platform security layer that can be reached over HTTP by an already-authenticated low-privileged user and then escalated out of the component's intended security authority. The S:C scope change is the notable signal here: it means the vulnerable component and the impacted component reside under different security authorities, so a successful exploit is not contained within the BI EE application but can propagate to co-hosted or downstream systems. Because PR:L is present and UI:N, the attacker must already hold some valid credential or session but needs no administrative rights and no victim interaction; the practical barrier is credential acquisition plus network reachability of the BI endpoint, not exploitation difficulty. Oracle's Critical Security Patch Update advisories routinely withhold technical detail, so defenders should treat the absence of a CWE and of public exploit tooling as an information gap rather than a mitigation.

DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition product of Oracle Analytics (component: Platform Security). The supported version that is affected is 12.2.1.4.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition. While the vulnerability is in Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition, attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 9.9 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H).
Executive ViewAI
Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition 12.2.1.4.0 is affected by a critical Platform Security flaw (CVSS 9.9) that lets an attacker who holds even a basic, low-privilege account take full control of the BI platform - including the reporting, analytics and data assets your business relies on for decision-making. Because the flaw carries a scope change, a compromise is not contained to BI EE and can reach other Oracle or integrated products connected to the platform, turning a single weak credential into a broader enterprise exposure. No vendor patch is available at this time, so leadership should treat this as a standing, manageable risk requiring access hardening and monitoring rather than a patch-and-close item.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: restrict network access to the Platform Security component to trusted administrative networks only via segmentation, reverse proxy or WAF allow-listing; enforce MFA and least-privilege entitlements; disable or rotate dormant, shared and default accounts and invalidate active sessions; shorten session lifetimes; segment BI EE from integrated platform products to limit scope-change blast radius; enable and centrally alert on authentication and administrative action logging.
