CVE-2026-61097
Summary
by MITRE • 07/22/2026
Vulnerability in the Oracle Banking Trade Finance Process Management product of Oracle Financial Services Applications (component: Common). Supported versions that are affected are 14.6.0-14.8.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Banking Trade Finance Process Management. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and while the vulnerability is in Oracle Banking Trade Finance Process Management, 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 Banking Trade Finance Process Management accessible data as well as unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle Banking Trade Finance Process Management accessible data and unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of Oracle Banking Trade Finance Process Management. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 9.6 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:L).

This vulnerability resides within Oracle Banking Trade Finance Process Management, a critical component of Oracle Financial Services Applications that handles complex financial transaction processing and trade finance operations. The affected versions span from 14.6.0 through 14.8.0, representing a significant portion of the product's deployment across financial institutions globally. This flaw constitutes a severe security weakness classified as an easily exploitable vulnerability, meaning that malicious actors can leverage it with minimal technical expertise to gain unauthorized system access. The vulnerability specifically targets the Common component within the broader Oracle Financial Services Applications framework, which serves as a foundational element supporting multiple financial services modules.
The technical nature of this vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to compromise the system through HTTP network connections without requiring valid credentials or prior system access. This represents a critical flaw in the authentication and authorization mechanisms that should normally protect sensitive financial data processing systems. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.6 indicates an extremely high severity level, reflecting the combination of confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts. Attackers can achieve unauthorized creation, deletion, or modification access to all critical data within the Oracle Banking Trade Finance Process Management environment, essentially granting them complete administrative control over financial transaction records and related information. Additionally, the vulnerability enables unauthorized access to complete data repositories and provides the capability to execute partial denial of service attacks that could disrupt business operations.
The operational impact extends beyond the immediate component through a scope change that affects additional products within the Oracle Financial Services Applications ecosystem. This interconnected nature means that exploitation of this vulnerability can cascade across multiple financial services modules, amplifying the potential damage significantly. The requirement for human interaction from individuals other than the attacker indicates that social engineering or targeted phishing attacks may be necessary to initiate successful exploitation, though this does not mitigate the overall severity of the flaw. Such requirements typically involve tricking end users into performing actions that inadvertently enable the attack vector, potentially through malicious links or attachments that lead to the vulnerable system interface.
Organizations affected by this vulnerability face substantial risk of financial data breaches, operational disruption, and regulatory compliance violations. The confidentiality impact is particularly severe given that trade finance processes involve sensitive commercial information, customer data, and financial transaction details that could be exploited for fraudulent activities or competitive advantage. The integrity impact allows attackers to modify critical financial records, potentially leading to unauthorized transactions or financial losses. Availability concerns include partial denial of service conditions that could disrupt trade finance operations and customer service capabilities. Security professionals should reference CWE-287 for authentication weakness patterns and consider ATT&CK techniques related to credential access and privilege escalation when developing defensive strategies. Organizations must implement immediate mitigations including network segmentation, web application firewalls, and comprehensive monitoring solutions while planning for urgent patch deployment to address this critical vulnerability across all affected versions of the Oracle Banking Trade Finance Process Management platform.
