CVE-2026-70912 in Hyperion Financial Management
Summary
by MITRE • 08/19/2026
Vulnerability in the Oracle Hyperion Financial Management product of Oracle Hyperion (component: Security). The supported version that is affected is 11.2.25.0.000. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle Hyperion Financial Management executes to compromise Oracle Hyperion Financial Management. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and while the vulnerability is in Oracle Hyperion Financial Management, 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 Hyperion Financial Management accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 5.3 (Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:N/I:H/A:N).

Analysis
by VulDB Data Team • 08/19/2026
The identified vulnerability resides within the Security component of Oracle Hyperion Financial Management, specifically affecting version 11.2.25.0.000 and potentially other supported releases in that lineage. This flaw represents a significant security weakness because it allows for unauthorized manipulation of critical data integrity without requiring elevated privileges or complex exploitation techniques from an external network perspective. The nature of this vulnerability is characterized by its difficulty to exploit, which serves as a partial mitigation against automated remote attacks but does not eliminate the risk posed by targeted social engineering or insider threats.
From a technical standpoint, the flaw permits low-privileged attackers who have valid logon credentials for the infrastructure hosting Oracle Hyperion Financial Management to compromise the application's integrity controls. The requirement for human interaction indicates that the attack vector likely involves deceiving an authorized user into performing an action that triggers the vulnerability, such as clicking a malicious link or opening a crafted file within the environment. This reliance on social engineering aligns with common tactics observed in advanced persistent threat campaigns where initial access is gained through legitimate credentials obtained via phishing or credential stuffing attacks.
The operational impact of this vulnerability is severe due to its scope change characteristic. Although the technical flaw exists specifically within Oracle Hyperion Financial Management, successful exploitation can lead to a compromise that significantly impacts additional products connected to the same infrastructure or data ecosystem. This lateral movement capability means that an attacker gaining unauthorized creation, deletion, or modification access to critical financial data in Hyperion could potentially disrupt broader enterprise operations, including reporting systems, audit trails, and downstream analytics platforms that rely on this data for accuracy.
In terms of industry standard classifications, this vulnerability maps closely to CWE-269 Improper Privilege Management and CWE-787 Out-of-bounds Write or similar integrity violations depending on the specific code path exploited. The requirement for user interaction places it within the context of ATT&CK technique T1534 Internal Spearphishing if delivered via internal communication channels, or generally under social engineering tactics that bypass technical controls by leveraging trust relationships. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.3 reflects a medium severity rating driven primarily by high integrity impact despite low availability and confidentiality impacts, indicating that the primary concern is data tampering rather than service disruption or information leakage.
Mitigation strategies must focus on both technical hardening and procedural controls. Immediate steps should include applying the latest security patches provided by Oracle for Hyperion Financial Management version 11.2.25.0.000. Organizations should also enforce strict least-privilege access policies to ensure that even low-privileged users have minimal permissions necessary for their roles, thereby reducing the potential blast radius if an account is compromised. Implementing multi-factor authentication can add a critical layer of defense against credential theft used in social engineering attacks. Additionally, deploying user behavior analytics and monitoring tools can help detect anomalous activities indicative of exploitation attempts, such as unusual data modification patterns or access to sensitive financial records by low-privileged accounts. Regular security awareness training for employees is also essential to reduce the likelihood of successful human interaction-based exploits.
