Summary
CVE-2026-70740 is a critical, unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability in the Server component of Oracle Hyperion Financial Reporting. An attacker with only network access via HTTP can exploit the flaw without any credentials or user interaction to fully compromise the underlying system. Oracle rates the issue 9.8 (Critical) on the CVSS v3.1 scale and addressed it in the August 2026 Critical Patch Update.
Technical details
- Root cause: An easily exploitable weakness in the Hyperion Financial Reporting Server component (exact underlying flaw/CWE not disclosed by Oracle at time of writing).
- Trigger conditions: Requires only network-level access to the vulnerable HTTP service; no authentication or user interaction is needed.
- Attack vector: Network (HTTP), low attack complexity, no privileges required.
- Impact: Successful exploitation results in complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the Hyperion Financial Reporting server and the data it processes.
Affected software
- Oracle Hyperion Financial Reporting, version 11.2.25.0.000
Severity
- CVSS v3.1 Base Score: 9.8 (Critical)
- Vector:
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Mitigation and recommended actions
- Immediate: Apply the Oracle August 2026 Critical Patch Update, which contains the fix for CVE-2026-70740 in Oracle Hyperion Financial Reporting. Upgrade from version 11.2.25.0.000 to the patched release supplied in that update.
- If immediate patching is not possible: Restrict network access to the Hyperion Financial Reporting HTTP service (e.g., place it behind a VPN or firewall allow-list, remove direct internet exposure) until the patch can be applied, as no other Oracle-published workaround exists.
