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 | Exploitation requires network reachability to the Oracle E-Business Suite HTTP interface serving the iRecruitment module (AV:N) and a valid authenticated account with only low privileges - the CVSS vector explicitly sets PR:L, so no administrative rights are needed and no authentication bypass is confirmed. No user interaction is required (UI:N) and attack complexity is low (AC:L). What limits exploitation: the attacker must already possess working credentials for the EBS instance, the iRecruitment module must be installed and its endpoints exposed to the attacker's network position, and deployments that front the application tier with strict allowlists or WAF rules may block the crafted requests. Environments where iRecruitment is not installed are not affected. |
| Impact | The signals here are moderately strong but incomplete. CVSS 8.5 reflects high confidentiality impact via network, low attack complexity, and a scope change that magnifies consequences beyond the vulnerable module; the required PR:L privilege keeps it out of the unauthenticated critical tier. No EPSS score, no KEV listing, and no public proof-of-concept were provided, so there is no evidence of active exploitation and the SSVC-style exploitation status should be treated as 'none' while automatable is plausibly 'yes' given the low complexity and lack of user interaction. Where signals conflict, flag it explicitly: the input tag 'Authentication Bypass' is not corroborated by the PR:L vector, which describes an authenticated low-privilege attacker rather than a bypass of authentication - verify against the Oracle advisory before accepting the tag. For a mid-sized operator such as a municipal HR function hosted on EBS in sanok, the practical concern is not mass internet scanning but an insider or a holder of any low-privilege employee/self-service account pivoting into recruitment records; that still warrants prompt patch-cycle inclusion rather than emergency out-of-band action. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with any valid low-privilege EBS account - for example an employee self-service or limited recruiting user - sends crafted HTTP requests to the iRecruitment Internal Operations endpoint, exploiting the broken access control to pull critical applicant and recruitment data and to insert, update, or delete some of it. Because the flaw carries a scope change, the same session context can be leveraged against other components on the shared EBS application tier, turning a single low-privilege foothold into broader suite-wide access. No public exploit code was identified at time of analysis; the attack is nonetheless straightforward given AC:L and UI:N. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 15, 2026
Oracle iRecruitment, a module of Oracle E-Business Suite, contains an easily exploitable flaw in its Internal Operations component affecting versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15. An attacker holding a low-privileged account can exploit it over HTTP without user interaction to read critical recruitment data and modify some of it, with the impact able to extend into other EBS modules because the CVSS vector carries a scope change (S:C). No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing was identified at time of analysis, so prioritization should rest on the CVSS 8.5 base score and the breadth of the affected version range rather than observed exploitation.
RemediationAI
Apply the Oracle Critical Security Patch Update referenced in the vendor advisory at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cspusep2026.html; the input does not specify an exact patch version or bundle number, so confirm the applicable 12.2.x patch against your installed EBS release before deployment - no vendor-released patch version is independently confirmed here. Until patching completes, reduce exposure by restricting network reachability to the EBS application tier and iRecruitment HTTP endpoints with a reverse proxy or WAF allowlist, understanding that this breaks legitimate remote/self-service access for external users. Audit and prune low-privilege accounts that can reach iRecruitment, enforce least privilege and strong authentication for those accounts, and enable EBS audit logging on recruitment data tables; these controls limit blast radius but do not eliminate the flaw, since PR:L confirms any valid low-privilege account suffices. Monitor for anomalous iRecruitment query patterns and unexpected cross-module access from recruitment sessions.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability sits in the Internal Operations component of Oracle iRecruitment, the recruiting and applicant-tracking module delivered as part of Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2.x. The affected code handles server-side processing of recruitment requests over HTTP, and the flaw allows a request issued by a low-privileged user to reach operations or data it should not - an access-control/authorization weakness (no CWE was supplied by NVD). The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C indicates the weakness is reachable over the network with no special complexity and no user interaction, but requires a basic authenticated account. The S:C metric is notable: Oracle confirms that although the defect lives in iRecruitment, a successful attack can materially affect other components sharing the EBS application tier and its database session context, which is typical of shared-runtime enterprise suites where module boundaries are not security boundaries.

DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the Oracle iRecruitment product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: Internal Operations). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.3-12.2.15. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle iRecruitment. While the vulnerability is in Oracle iRecruitment, attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle iRecruitment accessible data as well as unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle iRecruitment accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 8.5 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:N).
