CVE-2026-60682 Overview
CVE-2026-60682 is a missing authentication vulnerability [CWE-306] in the Repository component of Oracle Hyperion Financial Reporting. The flaw affects version 11.2.25.0.000 and is exploitable over the network via HTTP without authentication or user interaction.
An unauthenticated attacker can compromise the application to gain unauthorized read access to a subset of data, plus unauthorized update, insert, or delete access to some accessible data. The vulnerability does not impact availability.
Critical Impact
Unauthenticated network attackers can modify and read financial reporting data through the exposed Repository component over HTTP.

Technical Details for CVE-2026-60682
Vulnerability Analysis
The vulnerability resides in the Repository component of Oracle Hyperion Financial Reporting. This component stores and manages financial reports, folders, and related metadata. The flaw allows network-based attackers to interact with Repository functionality without providing valid credentials.
Exploitation results in partial confidentiality and integrity impact. Attackers gain read access to a subset of data and write access enabling insert, update, or delete operations on some records. Availability is not affected.
The EPSS score is 0.255% with a percentile of 17.298, indicating low current probability of exploitation activity. However, the lack of required privileges combined with network reachability elevates practical risk for internet-exposed deployments.
Root Cause
The root cause is a missing authentication check for a critical function [CWE-306]. The Repository component exposes functionality over HTTP that should require authenticated sessions but instead accepts unauthenticated requests. This permits direct interaction with resources that hold financial reporting data.
Attack Vector
The attack vector is network-based over HTTP. An attacker requires only reachability to the Hyperion Financial Reporting service. No credentials, elevated privileges, or user interaction are required. Attack complexity is low, meaning exploitation does not depend on specialized conditions or timing.
No verified public proof-of-concept exploit code is currently available. Technical details are limited to the vendor advisory. See the Oracle Security Alert for authoritative guidance.
Detection Methods for CVE-2026-60682
Indicators of Compromise
- Unexpected HTTP requests to Hyperion Financial Reporting Repository endpoints from unauthenticated sources
- Unauthorized creation, modification, or deletion of reports, folders, or Repository objects
- Anomalous read access patterns against Repository resources outside normal reporting workflows
- HTTP traffic to Hyperion services originating from untrusted network segments
Detection Strategies
- Enable and centralize Oracle Hyperion Financial Reporting application and web tier access logs
- Alert on HTTP requests to Repository endpoints that lack valid authenticated session cookies or tokens
- Baseline normal Repository read/write volumes and flag deviations for review
- Correlate web server logs with application audit trails to identify unauthenticated CRUD operations
Monitoring Recommendations
- Monitor network flow data for connections to Hyperion HTTP listeners from unexpected sources
- Track Repository object changes, including new, modified, and deleted reports and folders
- Review authentication logs for gaps between HTTP activity and successful logins
- Retain access logs long enough to support retrospective investigation after patch deployment
How to Mitigate CVE-2026-60682
Immediate Actions Required
- Apply the Oracle patch referenced in the Oracle Security Alert as soon as change windows allow
- Restrict network access to Oracle Hyperion Financial Reporting to trusted internal subnets and named administrative hosts
- Inventory all instances of Oracle Hyperion Financial Reporting 11.2.25.0.000 across production and non-production environments
- Review Repository audit logs for signs of unauthorized read or modification activity prior to patching
Patch Information
Oracle addressed this vulnerability in the August 2026 Critical Patch Update. Administrators should download and apply the patch identified in the Oracle Security Alert for Oracle Hyperion Financial Reporting version 11.2.25.0.000. Confirm patch application in a staging environment before production deployment.
Workarounds
- Place Hyperion Financial Reporting behind a reverse proxy or web application firewall that enforces authentication before requests reach the Repository component
- Block external HTTP access to Hyperion services at the network perimeter until patching completes
- Limit Repository access to VPN or zero-trust access broker connections while remediation is in progress
- Increase logging verbosity on the application and web tiers to support detection during the exposure window
