CVE-2026-71095 in Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition
Summary
by MITRE • 08/19/2026
Vulnerability in the Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition product of Oracle Analytics (component: BI Platform Security). The supported version that is affected is 12.2.1.4.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or all Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition accessible data as well as unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition accessible data and unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 8.3 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:L).

The identified vulnerability resides within the BI Platform Security component of Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition, specifically affecting version 12.2.1.4.0 and potentially other supported releases in the same lineage. This security flaw is characterized by its susceptibility to exploitation by an attacker with low privileges who possesses network access via HTTP. The nature of this vulnerability allows for a significant compromise of the system's integrity and confidentiality, as it enables unauthorized actors to manipulate critical data or gain complete access to all accessible information within the Oracle Business Intelligence environment. Furthermore, the flaw introduces risks related to availability, permitting attackers to cause partial denial of service conditions that can disrupt operational continuity.
From a technical perspective, this vulnerability aligns with CWE-269, which addresses Improper Privilege Management, as it allows low-privileged users to perform actions beyond their intended scope. The ability to create, delete, or modify critical data points towards potential integrity violations similar to those described in CWE-78, particularly if the underlying mechanism involves injection techniques, although the primary classification here is privilege escalation leading to unauthorized access and modification. In terms of tactical mapping under the MITRE ATT&CK framework, this vulnerability facilitates Initial Access through valid accounts with low privileges (T1078) followed by Lateral Movement or Data Exfiltration depending on the specific exploitation path taken. The potential for partial denial of service also relates to resource exhaustion techniques often seen in availability-focused attacks.
The operational impact of exploiting this flaw is severe, as indicated by a CVSS 3.1 Base Score of 8.3, which classifies it as High severity. The vector string (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:L) highlights that the attack can be conducted remotely over the network with low complexity and no user interaction required, provided the attacker has valid but limited credentials. The high impact on confidentiality and integrity means that sensitive business intelligence data could be exposed or altered without detection, while the lower impact on availability suggests that while service disruption is possible, it may not result in a complete system outage immediately. This combination makes the vulnerability particularly dangerous for organizations relying on Oracle Business Intelligence for critical decision-making processes.
Mitigation strategies should prioritize immediate patching to the latest supported version of Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition as recommended by Oracle Security Alerts. In addition to software updates, administrators should enforce strict network segmentation to limit HTTP access to BI servers only from trusted IP ranges and implement robust authentication mechanisms such as multi-factor authentication for all user accounts. Regular auditing of user privileges is essential to ensure that low-privileged users do not possess excessive permissions within the BI Platform Security component. Furthermore, deploying web application firewalls can help detect and block exploit attempts targeting this vulnerability by identifying anomalous HTTP requests associated with privilege escalation or data manipulation attacks.
