Summary
CVE-2026-60671 is a high-severity vulnerability in the BI Platform Security component of Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE), affecting versions 8.2.0.0.0 and 26.01.0.0.0. The flaw allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise affected instances, resulting in complete denial of service, unauthorized modification of accessible data, and unauthorized read access to data. It was disclosed on July 21, 2026 as part of Oracle’s July 2026 Critical Patch Update and carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.6 (High).
Technical details
- Vulnerable component: BI Platform Security within Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition
- Attack vector: Remotely exploitable over HTTP with no authentication and no user interaction required (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N)
- Trigger conditions: An unauthenticated attacker with network access to an exposed OBIEE instance can send crafted HTTP requests to the BI Platform Security component to trigger the vulnerability
- Impact – Availability (High): Successful exploitation can cause system hangs or crashes, resulting in a complete denial of service of the affected instance
- Impact – Integrity (Low): Attackers may perform unauthorized insert, update, or delete operations on data accessible by the application
- Impact – Confidentiality (Low): Attackers may gain unauthorized read access to a subset of data accessible by the application
- No public proof-of-concept was identified at time of publication
Affected software
- Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition 8.2.0.0.0
- Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition 26.01.0.0.0
Severity
CVSS v3.1 Base Score: 8.6 (High)
Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:H
Mitigation and recommended actions
- Immediate action: Apply the security patches released by Oracle in the July 2026 Critical Patch Update (CPU). Oracle recommends that customers apply CPU patches as soon as possible.
- Network mitigation: If immediate patching is not feasible, restrict network-level access to OBIEE instances — ensure that Oracle BI servers are not directly reachable from untrusted networks or the public internet, using firewall rules or network segmentation to limit exposure on the HTTP service port.
- Consult the official Oracle July 2026 CPU advisory at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html for patch download and installation instructions specific to your deployment.
