CVE-2026-83264 in Product Lifecycle Analytics
Summary
by MITRE • 09/16/2026
Vulnerability in the Oracle Product Lifecycle Analytics product of Oracle Supply Chain (component: Installation Issues). The supported version that is affected is 3.6.1. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle Product Lifecycle Analytics executes to compromise Oracle Product Lifecycle Analytics. While the vulnerability is in Oracle Product Lifecycle Analytics, 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 Product Lifecycle Analytics accessible data as well as unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle Product Lifecycle Analytics accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 8.4 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N).

Analysis

The identified vulnerability resides within the Oracle Product Lifecycle Analytics component of the Oracle Supply Chain suite, specifically affecting version 3.6.1 under the category of installation issues. This flaw represents a significant security deficiency that allows for exploitation by an attacker with low privileges who has established logon access to the underlying infrastructure hosting the application. The nature of this vulnerability suggests a failure in proper privilege separation or configuration hardening during the deployment phase, which permits a user account with minimal initial permissions to escalate their influence over the system beyond what is intended by the security architecture. This type of issue often stems from insecure default configurations, improper file permission settings on critical installation directories, or weaknesses in how the application handles initialization sequences that rely on trusted states rather than strict access controls.
The operational impact of this vulnerability extends far beyond the immediate boundaries of Oracle Product Lifecycle Analytics due to a scope change phenomenon where attacks can significantly impact additional products within the broader enterprise environment. This lateral movement capability indicates that the compromised infrastructure may serve as a pivot point for further exploitation across interconnected systems. The primary consequences involve unauthorized creation, deletion, or modification of critical data stored within the application database and file system. Furthermore, attackers gain complete access to all Oracle Product Lifecycle Analytics accessible data, leading to severe breaches in confidentiality and integrity. While availability is not directly impacted according to the CVSS metrics, the potential for data destruction through deletion attacks effectively denies legitimate users access to essential business information, thereby disrupting supply chain operations and decision-making processes that rely on accurate product lifecycle data.
From a technical classification perspective, this vulnerability aligns with CWE-269 Improper Privilege Management or potentially CWE-732 Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource if the root cause lies in file system permissions during installation. The ability of a low privileged user to compromise critical systems maps directly to ATT&CK technique T1078 Valid Accounts, as exploitation requires valid logon credentials, and potentially T1546 Event Triggered Execution or T1222 File and Directory Permissions Modification if the attacker modifies system files to maintain persistence or escalate privileges. The high confidentiality and integrity impacts reflected in the CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.4 underscore the severity of data exposure risks, particularly given that product lifecycle analytics often contain sensitive intellectual property, supplier details, and manufacturing specifications.
Mitigation strategies must focus on immediate remediation through applying vendor-provided patches or updates that address the specific installation-related flaws in version 3.6.1. Organizations should enforce strict principle of least privilege across all infrastructure components hosting Oracle applications, ensuring that service accounts and user identities are granted only the minimum permissions necessary for their functions. It is critical to review file system permissions on application directories to prevent unauthorized writes or reads by lower-privileged users. Additionally, implementing robust network segmentation can limit lateral movement should an attacker gain initial access, thereby containing potential scope changes to other products. Regular auditing of installation configurations and continuous monitoring for anomalous data modifications will help detect exploitation attempts early and maintain the integrity of supply chain data assets.
