CVE-2026-62613 in Reports Developer
Summary
by MITRE • 08/19/2026
Vulnerability in the Oracle Reports Developer product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: Security and Authentication). The supported version that is affected is 12.2.1.19.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with access to the physical communication segment attached to the hardware where the Oracle Reports Developer executes to compromise Oracle Reports Developer. While the vulnerability is in Oracle Reports Developer, attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or all Oracle Reports Developer accessible data as well as unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle Reports Developer accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 9.3 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N).

The identified vulnerability resides within the Security and Authentication component of Oracle Reports Developer, specifically affecting version 12.2.1.19.0 as part of the Oracle Fusion Middleware suite. This flaw represents a critical security deficiency that undermines the fundamental integrity of the authentication mechanisms governing access to sensitive reporting data. The nature of this vulnerability is particularly severe because it allows for exploitation by an unauthenticated attacker, meaning no valid credentials or prior authorization are required to initiate an attack vector against the system.
The technical context of this exploit relies heavily on network topology and physical security assumptions. Exploitation requires the attacker to have access to the physical communication segment attached to the hardware where Oracle Reports Developer executes. This typically implies a Local Area Network (LAN) environment or a shared broadcast domain where an adversary can intercept, inject, or manipulate traffic destined for the vulnerable service. The presence of such network-level accessibility combined with weak authentication controls creates a high-risk scenario where lateral movement within a corporate network could be facilitated if this component is compromised.
The operational impact of successfully exploiting this vulnerability is substantial and aligns with high-severity classifications in industry standards. A successful attack results in unauthorized creation, deletion, or modification of critical data accessible by Oracle Reports Developer. Furthermore, it grants the attacker complete access to all such data, effectively breaking confidentiality guarantees. The CVSS 3.1 Base Score of 9.3 reflects this severity, driven primarily by high impacts on Confidentiality and Integrity while Availability remains unaffected in the base score calculation. This indicates that an adversary can exfiltrate sensitive information or alter reporting outputs without detection, potentially leading to significant business disruption, regulatory non-compliance, and loss of trust.
From a classification perspective, this vulnerability maps closely to CWE-287 Improper Authentication, as the core failure lies in the system's inability to verify the identity of users attempting to access resources. Additionally, because exploitation requires network adjacency but no user interaction or prior authentication, it aligns with MITRE ATT&CK techniques related to Network Service Scanning and potentially Credential Access if further pivoting occurs within the compromised segment. The scope change noted in the advisory suggests that while the flaw is localized to Oracle Reports Developer, the consequences ripple outward, impacting other integrated products that rely on this middleware for data retrieval or processing functions.
Mitigation strategies must address both immediate technical controls and broader architectural defenses. Immediate remediation involves applying the latest security patches provided by Oracle for version 12.2.1.19.0 to close the authentication bypass flaw. In environments where patching is not immediately feasible, network segmentation becomes critical; administrators should isolate the hosts running Oracle Reports Developer into dedicated VLANs with strict access control lists that restrict traffic only from authorized application servers and management stations. Implementing mutual TLS or other strong encryption protocols can also mitigate risks associated with physical segment access by ensuring that even if an attacker intercepts packets, they cannot decipher or manipulate the content without valid cryptographic keys. Regular auditing of authentication logs is essential to detect any attempted exploitation activities early in the kill chain.
