CVE-2026-61111
Summary
by MITRE • 07/22/2026
Vulnerability in the Oracle Application Object Library product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: Core). 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 Application Object Library executes to compromise Oracle Application Object Library. While the vulnerability is in Oracle Application Object Library, attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle Application Object Library accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 6.5 (Confidentiality impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N).

This vulnerability resides within the Oracle Application Object Library component of Oracle E-Business Suite, specifically affecting versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15. The flaw represents a security weakness that can be exploited by attackers who have already gained access to the underlying infrastructure where the application object library operates. The low privilege requirement for exploitation makes this vulnerability particularly concerning as it requires minimal initial access to potentially cause significant damage. The vulnerability's classification as easily exploitable indicates that the attack surface is relatively straightforward, allowing even less sophisticated adversaries to leverage this weakness effectively.
The technical nature of this vulnerability stems from insufficient authorization controls within the Oracle Application Object Library component, which allows authenticated users with minimal privileges to escalate their access and gain unauthorized access to sensitive data. This represents a classic privilege escalation issue where the security boundaries within the application are not properly enforced, enabling attackers to bypass intended access controls. The CVSS base score of 6.5 reflects the significant confidentiality impact that can occur when successful, indicating that the vulnerability could lead to unauthorized disclosure of critical information or complete access to all data accessible through the affected component.
The operational impact extends beyond the immediate scope of the Oracle Application Object Library itself, as indicated by the scope change aspect of this vulnerability. This means that successful exploitation could potentially affect other integrated products within the Oracle E-Business Suite ecosystem, creating a cascading security risk across multiple applications. Attackers who successfully exploit this vulnerability could access sensitive business data including financial records, customer information, and operational details that could be used for competitive advantage or malicious purposes. The lack of user interaction requirement (UI:N) suggests that the attack can be executed automatically once the initial access is established, reducing the complexity and time required for exploitation.
Organizations should implement immediate mitigations including applying the latest Oracle security patches and updates to address this vulnerability in affected versions. Network segmentation and privileged access controls should be strengthened to limit potential attack vectors. The vulnerability aligns with CWE-284 (Improper Access Control) and may map to ATT&CK techniques involving privilege escalation and credential access. Regular security assessments and monitoring of application logs are essential to detect potential exploitation attempts. Additionally, implementing principle of least privilege access controls and maintaining up-to-date vulnerability management processes will help reduce the risk exposure associated with this and similar vulnerabilities. The scope change factor emphasizes the importance of comprehensive security monitoring across all integrated Oracle applications rather than focusing solely on the directly affected component.
