CVE-2026-60677 in Common Application Components
Summary
by MITRE • 07/22/2026
Vulnerability in the Oracle Common Application Components product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: Oracle Common Modules). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.3-12.2.15. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Common Application Components. While the vulnerability is in Oracle Common Application Components, 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 Oracle Common Application Components accessible data as well as unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle Common Application Components accessible data and unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of Oracle Common Application Components. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 8.4 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:L).

This vulnerability resides within Oracle Common Application Components, a core module of the Oracle E-Business Suite that serves as a foundational framework for numerous enterprise applications. The affected versions span from 12.2.3 through 12.2.15, indicating a substantial attack surface across multiple release cycles. This weakness represents a significant security gap that enables low-privileged attackers to exploit network-based HTTP interfaces, potentially compromising the entire Oracle Common Application Components ecosystem. The vulnerability's classification as difficult to exploit suggests that while sophisticated attackers may be able to leverage it, the attack vector requires specific conditions and knowledge of system internals.
The technical flaw manifests in insufficient authorization controls within the Oracle Common Application Components framework, allowing unauthorized manipulation of critical data resources through HTTP communication channels. Attackers with minimal privileges can potentially execute unauthorized creation, deletion, or modification operations against sensitive data stored within the component's accessible data repositories. This vulnerability operates at a foundational level of the application architecture, meaning that successful exploitation could affect multiple dependent applications within the Oracle E-Business Suite environment. The scope change aspect indicates that impacts extend beyond the immediate component to encompass related systems and data stores.
The operational impact of this vulnerability is severe and multifaceted, potentially leading to complete data compromise across Oracle Common Application Components accessible resources. Attackers can achieve unauthorized access to critical business data while simultaneously gaining the ability to cause partial denial of service conditions that could disrupt core business processes. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.4 reflects the high severity nature of this weakness, with impacts spanning confidentiality, integrity, and availability domains. The vector analysis reveals that network-based attacks require high attack complexity but only low privileges, making this vulnerability particularly dangerous as it can be exploited by attackers who have minimal system access.
Organizations should implement comprehensive mitigation strategies including immediate patching of affected Oracle E-Business Suite versions to address the root cause of this vulnerability. Network segmentation and firewall rules should be enhanced to restrict HTTP access to Oracle Common Application Components, while implementing additional authentication layers and access controls can help reduce exploitability. The vulnerability aligns with CWE-284 (Improper Access Control) and may map to ATT&CK techniques involving privilege escalation and data manipulation. Regular security assessments and monitoring of HTTP traffic patterns should be implemented to detect potential exploitation attempts, while incident response procedures must be updated to address potential scope change impacts across interconnected Oracle applications. Organizations should also consider implementing database activity monitoring solutions to detect unauthorized data modification activities that could result from this vulnerability.
