CVE-2026-61200 in Labor Distribution
Summary
by MITRE • 07/22/2026
Vulnerability in the Oracle Labor Distribution 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 network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Labor Distribution. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle Labor Distribution accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle Labor Distribution accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 5.4 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N).

This vulnerability resides within Oracle Labor Distribution, a component of the Oracle E-Business Suite that manages workforce distribution and labor planning processes. The affected versions span from 12.2.3 through 12.2.15, indicating a prolonged period of exposure where organizations using these specific releases remained susceptible to potential exploitation. The vulnerability classification as easily exploitable suggests that attackers require minimal technical expertise or resources to leverage this weakness, making it particularly concerning for enterprise environments where security controls may not be sufficiently robust.
The technical flaw manifests through insufficient access controls within the Internal Operations component, allowing a low-privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise the system. This represents a classic privilege escalation vulnerability where minimal user credentials can be leveraged to gain unauthorized access to sensitive data processing capabilities. The CVSS 3.1 score of 5.4 reflects the moderate severity of the impact, with confidentiality and integrity impacts rated as low, indicating that while the vulnerability does not directly affect system availability, it creates significant risks for data manipulation and unauthorized data access.
The operational impact of this vulnerability extends beyond simple data theft, as successful exploitation enables unauthorized update, insert, or delete operations against specific Oracle Labor Distribution data. This capability allows attackers to modify labor distribution records, potentially corrupting workforce planning data that could have cascading effects on payroll processing, resource allocation, and compliance reporting. Additionally, the unauthorized read access to subset data means that sensitive information about employee work patterns, labor costs, and operational metrics could be extracted without proper authorization.
From a cybersecurity framework perspective, this vulnerability aligns with CWE-284 (Improper Access Control) and represents a clear violation of the principle of least privilege. The attack vector through HTTP access points to potential exploitation via web-based attacks including SQL injection, cross-site scripting, or direct API manipulation techniques that attackers might employ to bypass authentication mechanisms. The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N indicates network-based exploitation requiring low complexity but with low privilege requirements, making it a particularly attractive target for automated attack tools and opportunistic threat actors.
Organizations should implement immediate mitigations including applying the relevant Oracle security patches, implementing additional network segmentation to restrict access to the affected components, and strengthening authentication controls through multi-factor authentication mechanisms. The vulnerability also highlights the importance of regular security assessments and monitoring for unauthorized data access patterns, particularly within financial and workforce management systems where data integrity directly impacts business operations and regulatory compliance requirements.
