CVE-2026-62546 in Applications Framework
Summary
by MITRE • 07/22/2026
Vulnerability in the Oracle Applications Framework product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: Web Utilities). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.8-12.2.15. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows high privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Applications Framework. While the vulnerability is in Oracle Applications Framework, attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle Applications Framework. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 9.1 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H).

This vulnerability resides within the Oracle Applications Framework component known as Web Utilities in the Oracle E-Business Suite ecosystem. The affected versions span from 12.2.8 through 12.2.15, representing a significant release range that indicates this flaw has persisted across multiple maintenance cycles. The vulnerability's classification as easily exploitable suggests that attackers require minimal technical expertise to leverage this weakness, making it particularly dangerous in production environments where security controls may be insufficient. The attack vector requires network access via HTTP, meaning that threat actors can potentially exploit this vulnerability from external networks without requiring physical access to the target system.
The security implications of this vulnerability extend beyond the immediate Oracle Applications Framework component through what is termed a scope change impact. This means that successful exploitation could potentially compromise additional Oracle products within the broader E-Business Suite ecosystem, creating cascading security failures that multiply the overall attack surface. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.1 indicates a critical severity level that reflects the combination of high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts. This scoring system aligns with CWE-20, which represents "Improper Input Validation" in the Common Weakness Enumeration catalog, suggesting that the vulnerability likely stems from inadequate validation of user-supplied input within the Web Utilities component.
The privilege requirements for exploitation are classified as high, meaning that attackers must already possess elevated credentials or administrative access to effectively carry out this attack. However, this requirement does not diminish the overall threat level since such privileged accounts may be compromised through other means, creating a dangerous scenario where a single successful exploit can lead to complete system compromise. The lack of user interaction requirements (UI:N) indicates that this is an automated attack vector that does not require end-user participation in the exploitation process. The CVSS vector specifically identifies this as a network-based attack with low complexity and high privileges required, while the scope change component suggests that the impact extends beyond the directly targeted software.
Organizations must implement comprehensive mitigation strategies including immediate patch deployment for all affected Oracle E-Business Suite versions, network segmentation to limit access to critical systems, and enhanced monitoring of HTTP traffic for suspicious activities. The vulnerability demonstrates characteristics consistent with ATT&CK technique T1190, which involves exploitation of remote services through network-based attacks targeting exposed web applications. Security teams should prioritize the implementation of Web Application Firewalls and conduct thorough penetration testing to identify additional attack vectors that may be available to threat actors within their environment. Given the potential for scope change impacts, organizations should also perform comprehensive risk assessments across all Oracle products within their infrastructure to identify systems that may be vulnerable through this pathway.
