CVE-2026-61221 in Item Master
Summary
by MITRE • 07/22/2026
Vulnerability in the Oracle Item Master product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: iSet-up bugs). 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 Item Master. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle Item Master accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle Item Master 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 E-Business Suite's Item Master component, specifically in the iSet-up bugs functionality that governs item configuration and management processes. The affected versions span from 12.2.3 through 12.2.15, representing a significant portion of the product's lifecycle where proper access controls and input validation mechanisms have been compromised. The vulnerability manifests as an authentication bypass or authorization flaw that allows attackers with minimal privileges to escalate their access rights within the system, particularly targeting the item master data repository that contains critical business information about products and inventory.
The technical exploitation of this vulnerability occurs through HTTP network requests, making it accessible to attackers who can reach the Oracle E-Business Suite application over the network. This low privilege requirement combined with the network-based attack vector creates a significant risk profile where even unauthenticated users could potentially gain access to sensitive item master data. The vulnerability's impact extends across multiple data integrity categories, enabling unauthorized modification operations including updates, inserts, and deletes against specific portions of the item master database. Additionally, attackers can perform unauthorized read operations on a subset of accessible data, potentially exposing confidential product information, pricing details, inventory levels, and other sensitive business data that should remain protected within the enterprise environment.
From a cybersecurity perspective, this vulnerability directly relates to CWE-285 (Improper Authorization) and aligns with ATT&CK techniques involving privilege escalation and data access manipulation. The CVSS 3.1 scoring of 5.4 reflects the moderate severity impact across confidentiality and integrity metrics, with the vector indicating network accessibility, low attack complexity, limited privilege requirements, and no user interaction needed for exploitation. The affected system components represent a critical business application that manages core inventory and product data, making unauthorized access to these resources particularly damaging for organizations relying on Oracle E-Business Suite for their operational workflows.
Organizations should implement immediate mitigations including network segmentation to limit access to the Oracle E-Business Suite applications, enforcing strict firewall rules to restrict HTTP traffic to authorized IP addresses only, and implementing additional authentication layers where possible. The recommended solution involves applying Oracle's official security patches and updates that address the specific authorization flaws in the iSet-up bugs component. Security monitoring should be enhanced to detect unusual access patterns or unauthorized data modification attempts within the item master module, while regular vulnerability assessments should be conducted to identify similar authorization issues throughout the Oracle E-Business Suite ecosystem. Additionally, implementing role-based access controls and principle of least privilege enforcement will help minimize potential damage from successful exploitation attempts, ensuring that even if an attacker gains access, they cannot freely manipulate or extract sensitive data beyond their designated permissions.
