CVE-2026-101824 in Document Management and Collaboration
Summary
by MITRE • 10/21/2026
Vulnerability in the Document Management and Collaboration product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: Attachments). 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 Document Management and Collaboration. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and while the vulnerability is in Document Management and Collaboration, attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or all Document Management and Collaboration accessible data as well as unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Document Management and Collaboration accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 8.7 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N).

The vulnerability identified in Oracle E-Business Suite, specifically within the Document Management and Collaboration component known as Attachments, represents a significant security risk for organizations relying on this enterprise resource planning platform. The affected versions span from 12.2.3 through 12.2.15, indicating that a substantial portion of deployed instances may be susceptible to exploitation if they have not been patched or upgraded to the latest supported release. This flaw is classified as an easily exploitable vulnerability that allows low-privileged attackers with network access via HTTP to compromise the integrity and confidentiality of the system. The technical nature of this weakness typically involves improper validation of user-supplied input within the attachment handling mechanisms, which can lead to unauthorized interactions with critical data stores or file systems associated with the document management module.
From a technical perspective, the vulnerability leverages the interaction between the web interface and the underlying backend services that manage file uploads and retrievals. An attacker who has obtained low-level credentials through social engineering or credential theft can exploit this flaw by crafting specific HTTP requests designed to manipulate how attachments are processed. The requirement for human interaction suggests that the attack vector likely involves诱骗 techniques, such as phishing emails containing malicious links or documents that trigger the vulnerable code path when opened or viewed within a browser session. This aligns with common patterns seen in web application vulnerabilities where trust boundaries between user input and system commands are insufficiently enforced, allowing an attacker to execute unintended operations on behalf of the authenticated user.
The operational impact of this vulnerability is severe due to its potential for scope change. While the initial compromise occurs within the Document Management and Collaboration module, successful exploitation can lead to broader consequences across additional products integrated with Oracle E-Business Suite. This lateral movement capability means that an attacker does not need direct access to other modules; instead, they can leverage the compromised attachment functionality to pivot into adjacent systems or data repositories. The primary impacts involve unauthorized creation, deletion, or modification of critical data, as well as complete unauthorized access to all Document Management and Collaboration accessible data. This results in a high level of confidentiality loss, allowing attackers to exfiltrate sensitive business documents, intellectual property, or personal information stored within the system.
In terms of industry-standard classifications, this vulnerability maps closely to CWE-434, which describes the unrestricted upload of files with dangerous content, and potentially CWE-79 if cross-site scripting is involved in the exploitation chain. Furthermore, from a tactical standpoint, it aligns with MITRE ATT&CK techniques related to Initial Access via Phishing (T1566) and Execution through Browser or Web Application interactions. The high CVSS 3.1 Base Score of 8.7 reflects the combination of network accessibility, low privilege requirements, and significant impact on confidentiality and integrity. The vector string AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N highlights that while authentication is required (PR:L) and user interaction is needed (UI:R), the attack complexity is low (AC:L) and the scope changes from affected component to entire system (S:C).
Mitigation strategies must prioritize immediate patching of all Oracle E-Business Suite instances running versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 with the latest security patches provided by Oracle. Organizations should also implement strict input validation and output encoding practices within custom developments related to attachment handling, although this is primarily a vendor-side fix. Network-level controls such as Web Application Firewalls can provide temporary protection by detecting and blocking malicious HTTP requests associated with file upload exploits or unusual data exfiltration patterns. Additionally, enforcing multi-factor authentication for all user accounts reduces the likelihood of attackers obtaining the low-privileged credentials necessary to trigger this vulnerability. Regular security awareness training is also critical to mitigate the human interaction requirement, ensuring employees are vigilant against phishing attempts that may attempt to exploit this specific flaw in document management workflows.
