CVE-2026-60978 in Scripting
Summary
by MITRE • 07/22/2026
Vulnerability in the Oracle Scripting 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 high privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Scripting. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or all Oracle Scripting accessible data as well as unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle Scripting accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 6.5 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N).

This vulnerability resides within Oracle Scripting, a component of the Oracle E-Business Suite that operates under the Internal Operations framework. The affected versions span from 12.2.3 through 12.2.15, representing a substantial release range that indicates this flaw has persisted across multiple updates. The vulnerability's classification as easily exploitable suggests that attackers with high privileges and network access via HTTP can successfully compromise the system without requiring extraordinary circumstances or specialized tools.
The technical nature of this flaw involves inadequate authorization controls within the Oracle Scripting component, allowing a privileged attacker to manipulate critical data through HTTP connections. This represents a significant weakness in the application's security architecture where proper access controls have been bypassed. The vulnerability's CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.5 reflects the substantial impact on both confidentiality and integrity, with a vector indicating network accessibility (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), high privilege requirements (PR:H), and no user interaction needed (UI:N). The scope unchanged (S:U) suggests that while the attack affects the target system, it does not extend to other systems within the same security domain.
The operational impact of this vulnerability extends beyond simple data compromise to encompass complete unauthorized access to all Oracle Scripting accessible data. Attackers could potentially create, delete, or modify critical business data without detection, fundamentally undermining the integrity and availability of enterprise operations. This scenario particularly concerns organizations using Oracle E-Business Suite for mission-critical functions where financial records, customer information, and operational data reside within the affected system. The high privilege requirement (PR:H) indicates that while an attacker must already possess elevated credentials, the vulnerability allows them to escalate their access within the scripting environment.
Organizations should prioritize immediate patching of affected systems following Oracle's security advisories, as this vulnerability could enable comprehensive data manipulation and unauthorized access to critical enterprise information. The flaw aligns with CWE-284 (Improper Access Control) and potentially maps to ATT&CK techniques involving privilege escalation and data manipulation within targeted applications. Security teams should implement network monitoring to detect unusual HTTP traffic patterns that might indicate exploitation attempts, while also reviewing existing access controls to ensure proper segregation of duties. The vulnerability demonstrates the importance of maintaining up-to-date security patches and implementing defense-in-depth strategies to protect critical enterprise applications from sophisticated attacks targeting operational components like Oracle Scripting.
