Exploitation Conditions

Requires the Oracle Identity Manager OIM Legacy UI component (versions 12.2.1.4.0 or 14.1.2.1.0) to be network-reachable over HTTP. The critical limiting factor is UI:R: a successful attack requires human interaction from a person other than the attacker - a legitimate OIM user or administrator must be induced to interact with attacker-supplied content (e.g., a crafted link or page). No attacker authentication is needed (PR:N), and complexity is low (AC:L), but the dependency on victim interaction makes this suited to targeted social engineering rather than fully automated exploitation. There is no availability impact.

Impact

This is a genuine high-severity issue but not the absolute top-tier of Oracle's September 2026 CPU. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N) confirms remote, unauthenticated, low-complexity exploitation over HTTP, but two factors deliberately hold the score at 8.1 rather than 9.8: the required human interaction (UI:R) from a victim other than the attacker, and the absence of any availability impact (A:N). Confidentiality and integrity are both fully compromised (C:H/I:H), meaning an attacker can read and alter all OIM-accessible data - significant in an identity-management system that governs accounts and entitlements. No EPSS score, KEV listing, or public POC was provided, so exploitation probability signals are absent; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation. The UI:R requirement makes this better suited to targeted social-engineering (e.g., luring an authenticated admin or user to a crafted link/page) than to opportunistic automated mass-exploitation, which tempers real-world urgency somewhat despite the network/unauthenticated profile. Oracle's advisory (cspusep2026) provides zero technical detail, so the exact interaction and vulnerability class cannot be confirmed. The 'Authentication Bypass' tag overstates/mislabels the mechanism - this is a pre-auth flaw gated on user interaction, not a demonstrated auth-bypass, and the data-compromise nature (C/I) is not conveyed by that tag.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated attacker crafts a malicious HTTP request or link targeting the OIM Legacy UI and induces a legitimate user or administrator to interact with it (e.g., clicking a link or visiting a crafted page). Upon that interaction, the attacker gains unauthorized read and write access to all Oracle Identity Manager data - enabling account/entitlement manipulation and disclosure of identity data. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis, and exploitation depends on successfully socially engineering a victim.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 16, 2026

Unauthenticated remote attackers can obtain complete read and write access to Oracle Identity Manager's OIM Legacy UI component in supported versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0, enabling unauthorized creation, deletion and modification of critical identity data as well as full disclosure of OIM-accessible data (CVSS 3.1 base score 8.1, AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N). The decisive limiting factor is the UI:R requirement: a legitimate OIM user or administrator must be induced to interact with attacker-supplied content over HTTP, which makes this a targeted social-engineering vector rather than a fully automated one, and there is no availability impact. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and Oracle published the issue as part of its September 2026 Critical Patch Update, which is the authoritative remediation source; the issue is tracked in the EU as EUVD-2026-79722.

RemediationAI

The primary fix is to apply the Oracle Critical Patch Update for September 2026 covering Oracle Identity Manager 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0, as documented in the vendor advisory at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cspusep2026.html; the supplied data does not name a specific patched build number, so the exact fixed release must be confirmed from that advisory before upgrading. Where patching cannot be completed immediately, the highest-value compensating control is to stop exposing the OIM Legacy UI to untrusted networks: restrict reachability of the legacy administrative interface at the firewall, reverse proxy or load balancer to trusted administrative networks only, and block external HTTP access to the legacy UI path - the trade-off is that remote administrators and any legacy integrations that depend on that interface will lose access until they are migrated. If the Legacy UI is not operationally required, disable or undeploy the component entirely, accepting the loss of any older administrative workflows that still rely on it. Because exploitation requires a victim to interact with crafted content (UI:R), reinforce user awareness and block or sandbox inbound links that route to the OIM legacy interface; note this does not remove the underlying flaw. Finally, since no attacker authentication is required (PR:N), account hardening such as MFA for OIM administrators is useful for detection and containment but is not a barrier to the bypass itself, so pair it with monitoring for anomalous identity creation, modification and deletion events in OIM audit logs to catch post-exploitation activity.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The affected technology is Oracle Fusion Middleware's Oracle Identity Manager (OIM), specifically the legacy administrative web interface shipped as the OIM Legacy UI component - an identity governance platform that manages user accounts, roles, entitlements and provisioning workflows, which is why successful compromise carries high confidentiality and integrity impact (C:H/I:H) with scope unchanged (S:U). No CWE identifier was supplied, but the vendor-advisory tag classifies the weakness as an Authentication Bypass, consistent with a legacy UI code path that fails to properly enforce authentication or authorization checks on requests reaching it over HTTP. The CVSS vector confirms the attack is network-delivered (AV:N), low complexity (AC:L) and requires no prior attacker authentication (PR:N), but is gated by user interaction (UI:R), meaning the victim - a legitimate OIM user or administrator, not the attacker - must open or follow crafted attacker-supplied content for the bypass to take effect. Because OIM is an identity control plane, an attacker who succeeds can pivot to downstream systems whose authentication and provisioning depend on the compromised directory data.

DescriptionCVE.org

Vulnerability in the Oracle Identity Manager product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: OIM Legacy UI). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Identity Manager. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or all Oracle Identity Manager accessible data as well as unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle Identity Manager accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 8.1 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N).

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Oracle Identity Manager's OIM Legacy UI component (versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0) carries a high-severity flaw that would give an unauthenticated external attacker full read and write access to the identity data the platform governs - effectively the authoritative record of who has access to what across the enterprise. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and exploitation requires a legitimate OIM user or administrator to be induced into interacting with attacker-supplied content, so the realistic threat is a targeted social-engineering campaign against privileged identity staff rather than opportunistic mass scanning. The reason leadership should care is integrity of access control itself: an attacker who can silently create, alter, or delete identity records can grant access, cover tracks, and undermine the trust the business places in provisioning and de-provisioning.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: disable the OIM Legacy UI if not operationally required, or strictly network-restrict it to managed administrative networks for versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0; block untrusted inbound HTTP to the Legacy UI at the reverse proxy, WAF, and firewall; enforce phishing-resistant MFA and anti-phishing filtering and awareness for identity administrators, since exploitation requires user interaction; monitor and alert on OIM audit logs for unauthorized identity create, delete, or modify activity; and accelerate deprecation of the Legacy UI in favour of the current OIM console.
