CVE-2026-60960 in SDP Number Portability
Summary
by MITRE • 07/22/2026
Vulnerability in the Oracle SDP Number Portability 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 logon to the infrastructure where Oracle SDP Number Portability executes to compromise Oracle SDP Number Portability. While the vulnerability is in Oracle SDP Number Portability, attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle SDP Number Portability. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 8.8 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H).

This vulnerability resides within Oracle SDP Number Portability, a component of the Oracle E-Business Suite ecosystem that manages telecommunications number portability operations. The affected versions span from 12.2.3 through 12.2.15, representing a significant attack surface across multiple releases. The vulnerability's classification as easily exploitable indicates that attackers with minimal technical expertise can leverage this weakness, particularly when they already possess legitimate login credentials to the target infrastructure where Oracle SDP Number Portability operates. This represents a critical security gap because the attacker's initial access requirement is relatively low compared to other vulnerabilities that might require sophisticated exploitation techniques or privilege escalation methods.
The technical flaw manifests as an insufficient authorization mechanism within the Internal Operations component of Oracle SDP Number Portability, allowing a low-privileged user with existing system access to escalate their privileges and ultimately compromise the entire application. This weakness can be characterized as a privilege escalation vulnerability, potentially mapping to CWE-276 (Incorrect Permission Assignment) or CWE-284 (Improper Access Control) within the Common Weakness Enumeration framework. The CVSS 3.1 score of 8.8 reflects the severity of impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability domains, indicating that successful exploitation could result in complete system compromise.
The operational implications extend beyond the immediate Oracle SDP Number Portability application due to the scope change aspect mentioned in the vulnerability description. This suggests that an attacker who successfully compromises the number portability service could potentially affect other interconnected systems within the Oracle E-Business Suite environment, creating a cascading security impact. The attack vector AV:L indicates local access is required, meaning the attacker must already have some level of access to the host system where Oracle SDP Number Portability executes. However, this local access requirement does not diminish the threat since many organizations maintain multiple user accounts with varying privilege levels on their servers.
The CVSS vector CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H provides additional context for the attack characteristics and impact severity. The low attack complexity (AC:L) suggests that exploitation requires minimal technical skills, while the low privilege requirement (PR:L) means that even standard user accounts could potentially leverage this vulnerability. The scope change (S:C) indicates that the compromise could extend beyond the vulnerable component to affect other products, which aligns with typical enterprise application architecture where multiple systems share common infrastructure or data sources. The high impact scores across all three security dimensions demonstrate that successful exploitation would result in complete system takeover, potentially enabling attackers to access sensitive telecommunications data, modify critical operations, or disrupt service availability.
Organizations should prioritize immediate patching of affected Oracle E-Business Suite installations to address this vulnerability, as the combination of low privilege requirements and high impact scores creates an attractive target for malicious actors. Security teams should implement network segmentation to limit access to systems running Oracle SDP Number Portability and establish monitoring controls to detect unauthorized access attempts. The vulnerability's characteristics also align with ATT&CK technique T1078 (Valid Accounts) and T1499 (Endpoint Termination) within the MITRE ATT&CK framework, indicating that attackers may leverage legitimate credentials to compromise systems before potentially terminating services or destroying data. Additionally, implementing proper access controls and privilege management procedures can help mitigate the risk associated with this vulnerability by reducing the likelihood that low-privileged accounts could successfully exploit it.
