Technical details
- Root cause: A weakness in the Internal Operations component of Oracle Document Management and Collaboration that permits an attacker to compromise the product without authentication.
- Trigger conditions: No authentication and no user interaction are required; the flaw is exploitable purely through network access to the exposed HTTP interface.
- Attack vector: Remote, over HTTP (AV:N), with low attack complexity (AC:L) and no privileges required (PR:N).
- Impact: Successful exploitation can result in complete compromise of the availability, integrity, and confidentiality of the affected system, with Oracle noting the vulnerability "can result in takeover of Oracle Document Management and Collaboration."
Affected software
- Oracle Document Management and Collaboration (Oracle E-Business Suite), versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15
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 fix provided in Oracle’s Critical Patch Update for September 2026 to all instances of Oracle Document Management and Collaboration running versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15.
- If patching cannot be performed immediately: Restrict network exposure of the Oracle E-Business Suite Document Management and Collaboration HTTP endpoints (e.g., via firewall rules, VPN-only access, or web application firewall policies) until the patch can be applied, since the vulnerability requires only network access and no credentials to exploit.
