CVE-2026-60825 Overview
CVE-2026-60825 is a vulnerability in the Oracle iSupport product of Oracle E-Business Suite, specifically within the Internal Operations component. Supported versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 are affected. The flaw allows a high-privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle iSupport. Successful exploitation can result in full takeover of the Oracle iSupport instance, impacting confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Oracle disclosed the issue in the July 2026 Critical Patch Update.
Critical Impact
Successful exploitation results in complete takeover of the Oracle iSupport application, exposing customer-facing support data and business operations to unauthorized modification.

Technical Details for CVE-2026-60825
Vulnerability Analysis
The vulnerability resides in the Internal Operations component of Oracle iSupport, a customer self-service portal within Oracle E-Business Suite. An attacker who already holds high privileges within the environment can send crafted HTTP requests to the iSupport application to escalate control and take over the product. The attack does not require user interaction. Exploitation is described by Oracle as difficult, indicating specific preconditions, timing, or contextual state must be satisfied to succeed. The EPSS score is 0.36% with a percentile of 28.497, reflecting a low near-term probability of observed exploitation.
The outcome extends beyond data disclosure. A successful attack compromises the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of iSupport, giving the attacker administrative control over the application scope.
Root Cause
Oracle has not published a detailed root-cause analysis in the public advisory. The issue is scoped to the Internal Operations component of Oracle iSupport and is reachable over HTTP by an authenticated, high-privileged actor. Refer to the Oracle Security Alert July 2026 for vendor-supplied details.
Attack Vector
The attack vector is network-based. An authenticated attacker with high privileges issues HTTP requests to the iSupport application endpoints exposed by E-Business Suite. Because the scope is unchanged, the attacker operates within the same security authority as the vulnerable component. Deployments that expose E-Business Suite to broader networks or the internet increase the reachable attack surface.
No public proof-of-concept, exploit code, or CISA KEV listing is available for CVE-2026-60825 at the time of publication.
Detection Methods for CVE-2026-60825
Indicators of Compromise
- Unexpected administrative actions performed by iSupport privileged accounts outside of established change windows.
- Anomalous HTTP POST or PUT traffic to Oracle iSupport Internal Operations endpoints from unusual source addresses.
- New or modified iSupport configuration objects, workflows, or user profiles without a corresponding ticket or approval.
Detection Strategies
- Enable and review Oracle E-Business Suite audit logs, focusing on high-privileged iSupport accounts and Internal Operations actions.
- Correlate web server access logs with application-level audit trails to identify HTTP request patterns targeting iSupport endpoints.
- Baseline normal privileged user behavior in E-Business Suite and alert on deviations such as off-hours access, geographic anomalies, or new client fingerprints.
Monitoring Recommendations
- Forward E-Business Suite application, database, and web tier logs to a centralized SIEM for retention and correlation.
- Monitor for privilege changes, session token reuse, and failed-then-successful authentication sequences on iSupport administrative accounts.
- Track outbound connections from the E-Business Suite application tier to detect post-compromise activity following a takeover.
How to Mitigate CVE-2026-60825
Immediate Actions Required
- Apply the fixes provided in the Oracle Critical Patch Update July 2026 to all Oracle iSupport instances running versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15.
- Inventory all E-Business Suite deployments and confirm patch status for the iSupport module and its dependencies.
- Review and reduce the population of high-privileged iSupport accounts, rotating credentials for accounts that remain.
Patch Information
Oracle addressed CVE-2026-60825 in the July 2026 Critical Patch Update. Administrators should download the applicable patch for their E-Business Suite release from My Oracle Support and apply it following Oracle's standard EBS patching procedures. Full details are available in the Oracle Security Alert July 2026.
Workarounds
- Restrict network access to Oracle iSupport endpoints so that only trusted internal networks and required business partners can reach the application.
- Enforce multi-factor authentication on all E-Business Suite privileged accounts to raise the cost of credential-based abuse.
- Place a web application firewall in front of E-Business Suite and log all HTTP traffic to iSupport Internal Operations endpoints for review.
# Example: restrict inbound HTTP access to iSupport at the network edge
# Replace 10.0.0.0/8 with your approved internal ranges
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 8000 -s 10.0.0.0/8 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 8000 -j DROP
