CVE-2026-101593 in Agile Product Lifecycle Management for Process
Summary
by MITRE • 10/21/2026
Vulnerability in the Oracle Agile Product Lifecycle Management for Process product of Oracle Supply Chain (component: Product Quality Management). The supported version that is affected is 6.2.4. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Agile Product Lifecycle Management for Process. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or all Oracle Agile Product Lifecycle Management for Process accessible data as well as unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle Agile Product Lifecycle Management for Process accessible data and unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of Oracle Agile Product Lifecycle Management for Process. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 8.3 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:L).

The identified vulnerability resides within the Product Quality Management component of Oracle Agile Product Lifecycle Management for Process, specifically affecting version 6.2.4. This software is a critical enterprise solution used by manufacturing and process industries to manage product data, quality standards, and compliance documentation throughout the lifecycle of industrial products. The flaw represents a significant security weakness that undermines the integrity and confidentiality of sensitive operational data managed by this platform. As an integral part of Oracle Supply Chain management solutions, any compromise in this module can have cascading effects on supply chain visibility, regulatory reporting accuracy, and overall business continuity for organizations relying on Agile PLM for process industries.
The technical nature of this vulnerability allows exploitation by a low-privileged attacker who possesses network access via the HTTP protocol. This indicates that the flaw is likely present in an API endpoint or web interface function where authentication checks are insufficient or input validation mechanisms are flawed, allowing unauthorized actors to execute commands or manipulate data structures without requiring elevated privileges or user interaction. The absence of required user interaction and the low complexity of exploitation make this a high-risk issue for organizations with exposed HTTP services. Attackers can leverage this weakness to bypass standard access controls that should restrict certain actions to administrative users only, effectively downgrading their privilege level in terms of impact while maintaining ease of execution.
The operational impact of successful exploitation is severe and multifaceted, encompassing breaches of confidentiality, integrity, and availability as reflected by the CVSS 3.1 Base Score of 8.3. On the axis of integrity and confidentiality, attackers can achieve unauthorized creation, deletion, or modification of critical data within the Product Quality Management module. This includes potentially altering quality test results, modifying compliance records, deleting audit trails, or injecting malicious product specifications that could lead to defective manufacturing outputs or regulatory violations. Furthermore, the vulnerability grants access to all Oracle Agile PLM accessible data, meaning sensitive intellectual property, supplier information, and proprietary process parameters are exposed to unauthorized parties. This level of data exposure violates fundamental security principles regarding least privilege and data segregation within enterprise applications.
In addition to data manipulation and exfiltration, the vulnerability impacts availability by enabling a partial denial of service against Oracle Agile Product Lifecycle Management for Process. While not necessarily causing a complete system crash, this disruption can hinder critical business operations such as quality assurance workflows, production planning based on accurate product data, or regulatory reporting deadlines. The combination of high confidentiality and integrity impact with low availability impact suggests that the primary threat is malicious data manipulation rather than simple service interruption, although any degradation in uptime contributes to overall risk severity. This aligns with common attack patterns where adversaries seek to corrupt data for competitive advantage or sabotage before attempting more disruptive actions.
From a classification perspective, this vulnerability maps closely to CWE-269 Improper Privilege Management and CWE-862 Missing Authorization, as it allows low-privileged users to perform high-level operations. It also relates to CWE-77 SQL Injection if the data manipulation involves database query tampering, or CWE-200 Information Exposure through Misconfigured Permissions if sensitive data is returned without proper checks. In terms of MITRE ATT&CK framework tactics, this vulnerability facilitates Initial Access via network services and Execution within the application layer, potentially leading to Data Exfiltration under Collection and Impact categories such as Data Manipulation and Service Availability Disruption. The vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:L confirms that while privilege requirements are low, the scope remains unchanged, meaning the attacker can only affect resources within their own security context unless further lateral movement occurs through other vulnerabilities.
Mitigation strategies must prioritize immediate patching to the latest supported version of Oracle Agile PLM for Process where this flaw has been addressed by vendor engineering teams. Organizations should also implement strict network segmentation to restrict HTTP access to the application from untrusted networks, ensuring that only authorized internal subnets can reach the management interfaces. Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) configured with rulesets targeting injection attacks and unauthorized API calls can provide an additional layer of defense against exploitation attempts. Regular vulnerability scanning focused on web applications and continuous monitoring for anomalous data changes or privilege escalation events are essential operational controls to detect potential compromise early. Additionally, enforcing multi-factor authentication and reviewing user role assignments to ensure no unnecessary high-privilege accounts exist with network-accessible credentials will reduce the attack surface significantly until patches can be applied in a controlled maintenance window.
