Summary
CVE-2026-71053 is an improper access control vulnerability (CWE-284) in the Web Services Security component of Oracle Agile Engineering Data Management, part of the Oracle Agile Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) family. It allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to fully compromise the affected system, impacting confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Oracle rates the flaw HIGH severity (CVSS 8.1), though it notes the exploit conditions are difficult to achieve.
Technical details
- Root cause: improper access control (CWE-284) within the Web Services Security component of Agile Engineering Data Management.
- Trigger conditions: exploitation is possible over HTTP without any authentication or user interaction, but Oracle characterizes the attack complexity as high, indicating specific conditions must be met.
- Attack vector: network-accessible HTTP interface exposed by the application’s web services layer.
- Impact: successful exploitation results in complete compromise of the system, with high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Affected software
- Oracle Agile Engineering Data Management version 6.2.1
Severity
- CVSS v3.1 Base Score: 8.1 (High)
- Vector:
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Mitigation and recommended actions
- Immediate: Apply the fix provided in Oracle’s August 2026 Critical Patch Update for Oracle Agile Engineering Data Management 6.2.1.
- If patching cannot be performed immediately: restrict network access to the Agile PLM web services interfaces (e.g., via firewall rules or VPN-only access) to limit exposure to trusted networks, and monitor web services traffic for anomalous or unauthenticated requests until the patch is applied.
