CVE-2026-60694: Oracle EAM Auth Bypass Vulnerability

CVE-2026-60694 Overview

CVE-2026-60694 is a medium-severity vulnerability in the Oracle Enterprise Asset Management product of Oracle E-Business Suite, within the Internal Operations component. The flaw affects supported versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15. A low-privileged attacker with network access via HTTP can exploit the issue, but successful exploitation requires human interaction from a user other than the attacker. The vulnerability introduces a scope change, meaning attacks that begin in Oracle Enterprise Asset Management can significantly impact additional Oracle products. Successful exploitation results in unauthorized update, insert, or delete operations against a subset of accessible data, and unauthorized read access to another subset of accessible data.

Critical Impact
Authenticated attackers can trick another user into triggering a crafted HTTP request that modifies and reads Oracle Enterprise Asset Management data, with impact extending beyond the vulnerable component due to scope change.

Affected Products

Oracle E-Business Suite — Oracle Enterprise Asset Management 12.2.3
Oracle E-Business Suite — Oracle Enterprise Asset Management versions 12.2.4 through 12.2.14
Oracle E-Business Suite — Oracle Enterprise Asset Management 12.2.15

Technical Details for CVE-2026-60694

Vulnerability Analysis

The vulnerability resides in the Internal Operations component of Oracle Enterprise Asset Management, a module of Oracle E-Business Suite. An authenticated attacker with low privileges can send crafted HTTP requests to the application. Exploitation requires a separate user to interact with attacker-supplied content, which is consistent with client-side attack patterns such as reflected cross-site scripting or cross-site request forgery. The scope change indicated by the CVSS vector shows the impact extends beyond the vulnerable component into other Oracle E-Business Suite modules that share the same security authority. Successful attacks yield partial read access and partial write access to Oracle Enterprise Asset Management data.

Root Cause

Oracle has not published the underlying code defect. Based on the CVSS metrics — network vector, low complexity, required user interaction, and scope change — the flaw is consistent with insufficient validation or output encoding within HTTP-facing components of the Internal Operations module. The condition allows an authenticated attacker to influence content or actions processed on behalf of another user session.

Attack Vector

Exploitation proceeds over HTTP against the Oracle E-Business Suite web tier. The attacker must hold valid low-privileged credentials to reach the Internal Operations endpoints. The attacker then crafts a payload or URL and delivers it to a second user, typically through phishing or an internal channel. When the victim interacts with the payload, the attacker's actions execute in the victim's session context, resulting in unauthorized data reads and writes that can propagate to adjacent Oracle E-Business Suite products.

No public proof-of-concept is available. Refer to the Oracle Security Alert July 2026 for vendor-provided technical detail.

Detection Methods for CVE-2026-60694

Indicators of Compromise

Unexpected update, insert, or delete operations in Oracle Enterprise Asset Management tables originating from low-privileged user sessions.
HTTP requests to Internal Operations endpoints containing suspicious payload parameters, encoded scripts, or unusual referrer headers.
Session activity where one authenticated user's actions correlate closely with URLs or content delivered by another user.

Detection Strategies

Enable and review Oracle E-Business Suite Sign-On Audit and Page Access Tracking to correlate user sessions with Internal Operations transactions.
Deploy web application firewall rules to inspect HTTP requests to Enterprise Asset Management URLs for injection patterns and anomalous parameter content.
Baseline normal Enterprise Asset Management transaction volumes per user role and alert on deviations that indicate scripted or coerced activity.

Monitoring Recommendations

Forward Oracle E-Business Suite application, database, and middle-tier logs to a centralized SIEM for correlation across the scope-changed products.
Monitor Oracle Fusion Middleware and Apache access logs for repeated requests to Internal Operations pages tied to short-lived or newly created low-privilege accounts.
Alert on outbound email or messaging that carries Oracle E-Business Suite URLs with unusual query strings, which may indicate delivery of a crafted payload to a victim.

How to Mitigate CVE-2026-60694

Immediate Actions Required

Apply the July 2026 Oracle Critical Patch Update for Oracle E-Business Suite immediately across all Enterprise Asset Management instances in the 12.2.3 to 12.2.15 range.
Restrict network access to Oracle E-Business Suite web tiers so that only trusted user populations can reach Internal Operations endpoints.
Review and reduce low-privilege account provisioning in Enterprise Asset Management until patching is complete.

Patch Information

Oracle addressed CVE-2026-60694 in the July 2026 Critical Patch Update. Administrators should consult the Oracle Security Alert July 2026 for the specific patch identifiers, prerequisites, and installation instructions applicable to their Oracle E-Business Suite release. Apply patches in a test environment first, then promote to production following Oracle's documented rollout guidance.

Workarounds

Enforce strict same-origin and content security policies at the web tier to limit the effect of user-interaction-based payloads.
Educate Oracle E-Business Suite users on phishing and unsolicited links that target internal application URLs, since exploitation requires victim interaction.
Temporarily disable or restrict access to non-essential Internal Operations pages within Enterprise Asset Management until patches are deployed.
