Summary
CVE-2026-87228 is a high-severity vulnerability in the Security component of Oracle Hyperion Financial Management (HFM) version 11.2.26.0.000. It allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker with network access via HTTP to gain unauthorized access to sensitive financial data and to modify, insert, or delete a subset of application data. Oracle rates this issue 8.2 (High) on CVSS v3.1, and it was published as part of Oracle’s September 2026 Critical Security Patch Update.
Technical details
- Root cause: An unspecified flaw in the Security component of Oracle Hyperion Financial Management allows access-control checks to be bypassed, though Oracle has not disclosed the specific code-level defect.
- Trigger conditions: No authentication or user interaction is required; the vulnerability is remotely exploitable simply by an attacker reaching the affected HTTP interface over the network.
- Attack vector: Network (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), no user interaction (UI:N).
- Impact: Successful exploitation results in high-confidentiality impact — up to complete disclosure of all data accessible to HFM — combined with low-integrity impact, permitting unauthorized update, insert, or delete operations on some system data. Availability is not affected.
