CVE-2026-60677 Overview
CVE-2026-60677 affects the Oracle Common Application Components product within Oracle E-Business Suite, specifically the Oracle Common Modules component. Supported versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 are affected. A low-privileged attacker with network access via HTTP can compromise Oracle Common Application Components. Exploitation is difficult, but successful attacks produce a scope change that impacts additional products beyond the vulnerable component.
Critical Impact
Successful exploitation allows unauthorized creation, deletion, or modification of critical data, complete read access to all Oracle Common Application Components accessible data, and a partial denial of service condition.
Affected Products
- Oracle E-Business Suite - Oracle Common Application Components 12.2.3
- Oracle E-Business Suite - Oracle Common Application Components versions 12.2.4 through 12.2.14
- Oracle E-Business Suite - Oracle Common Application Components 12.2.15

Technical Details for CVE-2026-60677
Vulnerability Analysis
The vulnerability resides in the Oracle Common Modules component of Oracle Common Application Components, a shared services layer used across Oracle E-Business Suite modules. An authenticated attacker holding low-privilege credentials can send crafted HTTP requests to the affected component. The attack complexity is high, meaning exploitation depends on conditions outside the attacker's direct control, such as specific configuration states or timing.
A scope change occurs during exploitation. The vulnerable component is compromised, but the impact extends into other Oracle E-Business Suite products that trust or rely on the Common Application Components layer. This lateral impact broadens the affected data surface significantly.
The Exploit Prediction Scoring System places the probability of exploitation activity at 0.302% within the next 30 days.
Root Cause
Oracle has not published root cause details in the public advisory. The vulnerability is exposed through the HTTP interface of Oracle Common Application Components and is reachable by any authenticated user of the E-Business Suite deployment. The Oracle Security Alert - July 2026 contains vendor-provided technical context under Oracle's coordinated disclosure process.
Attack Vector
The attack originates over the network via HTTP. The attacker must hold valid low-privilege credentials for the target E-Business Suite environment. No user interaction is required. Because the vulnerable interface is typically exposed to internal users of E-Business Suite deployments, insider threats and compromised low-privilege accounts represent the primary risk profile.
No public proof-of-concept exploit code has been observed. Refer to the Oracle Security Alert - July 2026 for vendor-published technical details.
Detection Methods for CVE-2026-60677
Indicators of Compromise
- Unexpected HTTP requests to Oracle Common Application Components endpoints from low-privilege user accounts.
- Unauthorized create, update, or delete operations on Oracle E-Business Suite records outside a user's normal role scope.
- Application log entries showing cross-module data access following requests to Common Modules endpoints.
Detection Strategies
- Enable Oracle E-Business Suite auditing on Common Application Components tables and monitor for anomalous write operations by low-privileged accounts.
- Correlate HTTP access logs from the Oracle HTTP Server with database audit trails to identify scope-changing activity across modules.
- Baseline normal user behavior against Common Application Components and alert on deviations in request volume, endpoint diversity, or data modification patterns.
Monitoring Recommendations
- Forward Oracle E-Business Suite application, middleware, and database audit logs to a centralized SIEM for correlation.
- Track authentication events for low-privilege service and functional accounts that access Common Application Components.
- Monitor for partial denial-of-service symptoms such as thread exhaustion, elevated response times, or repeated error responses from Common Modules.
How to Mitigate CVE-2026-60677
Immediate Actions Required
- Apply the July 2026 Oracle Critical Patch Update to all affected Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 environments.
- Inventory all Oracle E-Business Suite instances and confirm patch level for the Common Application Components component.
- Restrict network access to Oracle E-Business Suite HTTP endpoints to trusted internal segments and authenticated VPN users.
- Review and reduce standing privileges for functional and integration accounts to enforce least privilege.
Patch Information
Oracle released fixes as part of the July 2026 Critical Patch Update. Administrators should consult the Oracle Security Alert - July 2026 for the specific patch identifiers, prerequisite bundles, and installation guidance applicable to their E-Business Suite release.
Workarounds
- No vendor-approved workaround has been published. Patching is the recommended remediation.
- Where immediate patching is not feasible, apply compensating controls such as web application firewall rules restricting access to Common Application Components URLs.
- Increase monitoring depth on affected environments until patches are deployed and validated.
