CVE-2026-60760 Overview
CVE-2026-60760 affects the Oracle Enterprise Asset Management product within Oracle E-Business Suite, specifically the Internal Operations component. Supported versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 are affected. The flaw allows a low-privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Enterprise Asset Management. Successful exploitation grants unauthorized update, insert, or delete access to a subset of accessible data, as well as unauthorized read access to another subset of data. Oracle rates the exploit complexity as high, meaning specific conditions must be present for successful attacks.
Critical Impact
Authenticated attackers can achieve limited unauthorized read, update, insert, or delete operations on Oracle Enterprise Asset Management data over the network.
Affected Products
- Oracle E-Business Suite - Oracle Enterprise Asset Management (Internal Operations component)
- Versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15
- Deployments exposing HTTP-accessible E-Business Suite interfaces

Technical Details for CVE-2026-60760
Vulnerability Analysis
The vulnerability resides in the Internal Operations component of Oracle Enterprise Asset Management, a module of Oracle E-Business Suite used to manage maintenance operations for enterprise assets. Attackers require valid low-privileged credentials and network access over HTTP to reach the vulnerable interface. Oracle characterizes the flaw as difficult to exploit, indicating that additional conditions beyond authentication must be satisfied for a successful attack.
Successful exploitation results in partial impact to confidentiality and integrity. Attackers can perform unauthorized update, insert, or delete operations against a subset of Enterprise Asset Management data, and read a subset of accessible data. Availability is not affected, and the scope remains unchanged, meaning the impact is confined to the Enterprise Asset Management module.
The EPSS probability is 0.158%, placing this vulnerability in a low-likelihood tier for near-term exploitation. Because Oracle E-Business Suite frequently underpins financial, procurement, and asset management processes, even limited data tampering can affect downstream reporting and operational decisions.
Root Cause
Oracle has not published detailed root-cause information beyond noting the flaw resides in the Internal Operations component. The advisory language suggests an access control or input handling weakness reachable by authenticated users through HTTP endpoints exposed by the Enterprise Asset Management module.
Attack Vector
The attack vector is network-based over HTTP. The attacker must hold valid low-privileged credentials within the E-Business Suite environment. No user interaction is required, but attack complexity is high, so exploitation depends on specific runtime conditions that are not disclosed in the Oracle advisory.
No public proof-of-concept exploit code is available. Refer to the Oracle Security Alert July 2026 for vendor technical details.
Detection Methods for CVE-2026-60760
Indicators of Compromise
- Unexpected HTTP requests from low-privileged E-Business Suite accounts targeting Enterprise Asset Management Internal Operations endpoints.
- Anomalous INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statements against Enterprise Asset Management tables originating from application service accounts.
- Audit log entries showing data modifications outside normal maintenance workflows or business hours.
Detection Strategies
- Enable Oracle E-Business Suite auditing on Enterprise Asset Management tables and monitor for out-of-pattern data changes.
- Correlate application-tier HTTP access logs with database audit logs to identify low-privileged users triggering write operations.
- Baseline typical Enterprise Asset Management transaction volumes per user role and alert on deviations.
Monitoring Recommendations
- Forward Oracle E-Business Suite application, middleware, and database audit logs to a centralized SIEM for correlation.
- Monitor for repeated failed or malformed requests to Internal Operations URLs that may indicate exploitation attempts under high-complexity conditions.
- Review privileged and low-privileged account activity for lateral movement or scope creep within Enterprise Asset Management modules.
How to Mitigate CVE-2026-60760
Immediate Actions Required
- Apply the July 2026 Oracle Critical Patch Update to all Oracle E-Business Suite deployments running versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15.
- Inventory all Enterprise Asset Management installations and confirm patch status against Oracle's advisory.
- Restrict network exposure of E-Business Suite HTTP endpoints to trusted internal networks and VPN users.
Patch Information
Oracle addressed CVE-2026-60760 in the July 2026 Critical Patch Update. Administrators should download and apply the patch bundle referenced in the Oracle Security Alert July 2026 for Oracle E-Business Suite versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15. Oracle recommends applying Critical Patch Updates without delay.
Workarounds
- Reduce the number of accounts granted access to the Enterprise Asset Management Internal Operations component to the minimum required.
- Place a web application firewall or reverse proxy in front of E-Business Suite to filter unexpected HTTP requests to Internal Operations endpoints.
- Enforce strong authentication and session controls on all E-Business Suite users pending patch deployment.
