CVE-2026-101470 in Product Lifecycle Analytics
Summary
by MITRE • 10/21/2026
Vulnerability in the Oracle Product Lifecycle Analytics product of Oracle Supply Chain (component: Installation Issues). The supported version that is affected is 3.6.1. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows high privileged attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle Product Lifecycle Analytics executes to compromise Oracle Product Lifecycle Analytics. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or all Oracle Product Lifecycle Analytics accessible data as well as unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle Product Lifecycle Analytics accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 6.0 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N).

Analysis

The identified vulnerability resides within the Oracle Product Lifecycle Analytics component of the Oracle Supply Chain suite, specifically affecting version 3.6.1 under the category of Installation Issues. This flaw represents a significant security deficiency in how the application handles its initial setup and configuration processes. The core technical nature of this vulnerability is tied to improper access control mechanisms during or following the installation phase. When an attacker with high privileges gains logon access to the underlying infrastructure where Oracle Product Lifecycle Analytics executes, they can exploit these misconfigurations inherent in the installation process. This exploitation does not require user interaction and relies on the elevated permissions already held by the intruder within the system environment. The vulnerability allows for a direct compromise of the application's integrity and confidentiality because the installer or configuration scripts likely fail to enforce strict least-privilege principles, leaving critical data stores and administrative functions exposed to modification by any entity with sufficient local access rights.
The operational impact of this vulnerability is severe due to its potential to alter the fundamental state of the application and its data. Successful exploitation enables an attacker to perform unauthorized creation, deletion, or modification of critical data within the Oracle Product Lifecycle Analytics environment. This capability extends beyond just specific records; it can result in complete access to all data accessible by the Oracle Product Lifecycle Analytics process. For organizations relying on this software for supply chain management and product lifecycle tracking, such a breach could lead to significant operational disruption, financial loss, and reputational damage. The ability to delete or modify critical data undermines the reliability of business intelligence derived from these systems, while unauthorized creation allows for the insertion of malicious configurations or backdoors that persist even after initial remediation efforts if not properly audited.
From a classification perspective, this vulnerability aligns with CWE-269 Improper Privilege Management and potentially CWE-732 Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource. The attack vector is classified as Local (AV:L) in the CVSS 3.1 framework, indicating that physical or logical access to the host system is required before exploitation can occur. However, the high privilege requirement (PR:H) suggests that this is not a remote code execution flaw but rather an abuse of existing administrative rights during installation or configuration tasks. The attack complexity is low (AC:L), meaning no specialized conditions are needed beyond having those elevated credentials. This scenario maps to MITRE ATT&CK techniques related to Privilege Escalation and Defense Evasion, specifically how attackers might leverage poorly secured installation procedures to maintain persistence or escalate their influence within the enterprise network.
Mitigation strategies must focus on strict adherence to secure configuration guidelines provided by Oracle for version 3.6.1. Organizations should ensure that only highly trusted administrators have access to the infrastructure hosting this application and that these accounts are protected with multi-factor authentication and rigorous monitoring. It is critical to review installation logs for any anomalies or deviations from standard procedures, as improper permission assignments often leave residual vulnerabilities even after initial setup. Applying all available security patches released by Oracle for this specific version is essential, as vendors typically address such privilege management flaws in subsequent updates. Additionally, implementing strict file system permissions and auditing mechanisms on the directories where installation scripts operate can help detect unauthorized modifications to critical configuration files. Regular vulnerability assessments focusing on application-level misconfigurations will further reduce the risk surface associated with these types of internal infrastructure vulnerabilities.
