CVE-2026-62469 in Human Resources
Summary
by MITRE • 07/22/2026
Vulnerability in the Oracle Human Resources product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: Enterprise Command Center). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.14-12.2.15. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle Human Resources executes to compromise Oracle Human Resources. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or all Oracle Human Resources accessible data as well as unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle Human Resources accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 7.1 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N).

This vulnerability resides within Oracle Human Resources, a component of the Oracle E-Business Suite that operates within the Enterprise Command Center framework. The affected versions span from 12.2.14 through 12.2.15, representing a specific release lineage that has been identified as containing a critical security flaw. The vulnerability's exploitability is characterized as easily accessible, meaning that an attacker with legitimate access to the underlying infrastructure where Oracle Human Resources operates can leverage this weakness to compromise the entire system. This classification places the vulnerability within the realm of low-privilege attackers who have already established a foothold in the target environment, making it particularly concerning for organizations that rely on layered security approaches.
The technical nature of this flaw allows for unauthorized manipulation of critical data within the Oracle Human Resources application, encompassing the ability to create, delete, or modify sensitive information. This encompasses both the integrity and confidentiality aspects of the system's security model, as attackers can not only alter data but also gain access to protected information that should remain restricted. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.1 indicates a high-severity vulnerability with significant impact across multiple security dimensions, particularly when considering the potential for data compromise and modification. The attack vector is classified as local (AV:L) meaning that exploitation requires physical or network access to the system where Oracle Human Resources executes, while the low access complexity (AC:L) suggests that minimal technical skills are required to carry out the attack.
The operational impact of this vulnerability extends beyond simple data corruption or unauthorized access, as it provides attackers with complete control over all accessible data within the Oracle Human Resources environment. This encompasses both the modification and deletion capabilities that could result in significant business disruption, financial loss, and compliance violations. Organizations relying on human resources data for payroll processing, employee records, benefits administration, and other critical business functions face substantial risk from this vulnerability. The lack of user interaction requirement (UI:N) means that attacks can be automated and sustained without requiring active participation from end users, while the unscoped impact (S:U) indicates that the compromise affects the entire application rather than being limited to specific modules or components.
From a cybersecurity framework perspective, this vulnerability aligns with CWE-284 (Improper Access Control) and potentially CWE-798 (Use of Hard-coded Credentials), though the primary classification centers on inadequate privilege controls within the Enterprise Command Center. The ATT&CK framework categorizes this under Privilege Escalation and Credential Access tactics, where an attacker who has already gained initial access can leverage this weakness to expand their control over sensitive HR data. Organizations should implement immediate mitigations including patch management protocols, network segmentation to limit local access, privileged account monitoring, and comprehensive access control reviews. The vulnerability's characteristics suggest that traditional perimeter-based security measures may be insufficient, requiring organizations to adopt zero-trust principles and continuous monitoring approaches to detect potential exploitation attempts. Regular security assessments and penetration testing should be conducted to identify similar weaknesses in other components of the Oracle E-Business Suite ecosystem, as this represents a potential entry point for broader system compromise.
