CVE-2026-62625 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 network access via SOAP to compromise Oracle Reports Developer. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle Reports Developer accessible data as well as unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle Reports Developer accessible data and unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of Oracle Reports Developer. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 8.6 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:L).

The identified vulnerability resides within the Oracle Reports Developer component of Oracle Fusion Middleware version 12.2.1.19.0, specifically affecting its Security and Authentication subsystems. This flaw represents a critical failure in access control mechanisms that govern how unauthenticated users interact with the application via SOAP-based interfaces. The core technical issue stems from insufficient validation or enforcement of authentication requirements for specific endpoints or operations within the Reports Developer service architecture. Consequently, an attacker who possesses network connectivity to the affected system can bypass standard security protocols without providing valid credentials. This lack of proper authorization checks allows external entities to execute privileged functions that should strictly be reserved for authenticated and authorized administrators or users, fundamentally undermining the integrity of the application's security model.
The operational impact of this vulnerability is severe due to its high exploitability and broad scope of potential damage. An unauthenticated attacker with network access can leverage this flaw to gain unauthorized access to critical data stored within the Oracle Reports Developer environment. This includes sensitive business intelligence reports, configuration files, and potentially underlying database contents that are exposed through the reporting interface. Beyond mere information disclosure, the vulnerability permits unauthorized modifications to accessible data. Attackers can perform insert, update, or delete operations on datasets managed by the application, leading to significant integrity violations where legitimate records may be altered, corrupted, or erased without detection. This capability transforms a simple authentication bypass into a potent tool for data tampering and sabotage of business reporting processes.
Furthermore, the vulnerability impacts system availability by allowing attackers to cause partial denial of service conditions against Oracle Reports Developer. By exploiting the flaw through SOAP requests, an attacker can consume excessive server resources or trigger error states that degrade performance or render specific functionalities unavailable to legitimate users. While this may not result in a complete system crash, it disrupts operational continuity and affects user experience. The combination of high confidentiality impact due to data exposure, moderate integrity impact from unauthorized modifications, and low availability impact through partial denial of service results in an overall CVSS 3.1 Base Score of 8.6. This score reflects the critical nature of the threat, emphasizing that even without prior authentication or user interaction, the system is highly susceptible to compromise via network-based attacks.
From a classification perspective, this vulnerability aligns with CWE-287 Improper Authentication and CWE-306 Missing Authentication for Critical Function within the Common Weakness Enumeration framework. The attack vector corresponds to ATT&CK technique T1078 Valid Accounts if credentials were somehow obtained or bypassed through other means, but more accurately reflects T1190 Exploit Public-Facing Application given the SOAP interface exposure and lack of initial access requirements. To mitigate this risk, immediate action is required to apply the latest security patches provided by Oracle for Fusion Middleware version 12.2.1.19.0 or later versions where the flaw has been addressed. Organizations should also implement network-level controls such as web application firewalls that can inspect SOAP traffic and block requests lacking proper authentication headers before they reach the application server. Additionally, restricting direct internet access to internal reporting services via firewall rules ensures that only trusted networks can interact with these sensitive components, reducing the attack surface significantly until permanent remediation is deployed.
