CVE-2026-60941 Overview
CVE-2026-60941 is a high severity vulnerability in the Oracle Service Fulfillment Manager product of Oracle E-Business Suite. The flaw resides in the Fulfillment Engine component and affects supported versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15. An authenticated attacker with high privileges and network access via HTTP can compromise the application. Because the vulnerability involves a scope change, exploitation can affect additional products beyond Oracle Service Fulfillment Manager. Successful attacks lead to unauthorized creation, deletion, or modification of critical data, and unauthorized read access to all data accessible by Oracle Service Fulfillment Manager.
Critical Impact
Authenticated attackers can compromise data confidentiality and integrity across Oracle Service Fulfillment Manager and additional in-scope products through HTTP-based exploitation.
Affected Products
- Oracle E-Business Suite - Oracle Service Fulfillment Manager 12.2.3 through 12.2.15
- Fulfillment Engine component
- Downstream products impacted through scope change

Technical Details for CVE-2026-60941
Vulnerability Analysis
The vulnerability exists within the Fulfillment Engine component of Oracle Service Fulfillment Manager, a workflow orchestration engine used within Oracle E-Business Suite. An attacker holding high-privileged application credentials can send crafted HTTP requests to compromise the component. Exploitation does not require user interaction and involves low attack complexity. The scope changes upon successful exploitation, meaning the security impact extends beyond the vulnerable component to additional Oracle products that share trust or data with Oracle Service Fulfillment Manager. The confidentiality and integrity impacts are rated high, while availability is not affected.
Root Cause
Oracle has not disclosed the specific technical root cause in the public advisory. Based on the impact profile described in the Oracle Critical Patch Update, the flaw permits an authenticated user to bypass intended authorization boundaries within the Fulfillment Engine. This grants unauthorized read and write access to data managed by the module and cascading products.
Attack Vector
The attack vector is network based over HTTP. The attacker must already hold a high-privileged account within the Oracle E-Business Suite environment. No user interaction is required. Once authenticated, the attacker sends crafted requests to the Fulfillment Engine endpoints to trigger unauthorized data access or modification. The scope change indicates that data owned by other integrated Oracle products becomes accessible through the compromised component.
No public proof-of-concept code has been released for CVE-2026-60941. Refer to the Oracle Security Alert - July 2026 for authoritative details.
Detection Methods for CVE-2026-60941
Indicators of Compromise
- Unexpected HTTP requests from high-privileged Oracle E-Business Suite accounts targeting Fulfillment Engine endpoints
- Unauthorized modification, creation, or deletion of records within Oracle Service Fulfillment Manager tables
- Anomalous read access patterns against critical Oracle E-Business Suite datasets tied to fulfillment workflows
- Cross-module data access originating from Oracle Service Fulfillment Manager sessions outside normal business logic
Detection Strategies
- Enable Oracle E-Business Suite audit logging for all Fulfillment Engine transactions and privileged administrative accounts
- Baseline normal HTTP request patterns to Oracle Service Fulfillment Manager URLs and alert on statistically significant deviations
- Correlate database audit events with application session logs to identify unauthorized data modifications performed through the Fulfillment Engine
Monitoring Recommendations
- Monitor all high-privileged user sessions accessing the Fulfillment Engine after the July 2026 CPU release date
- Review database change data capture streams for unexpected DML operations against Oracle Service Fulfillment Manager schemas
- Alert on lateral access from Oracle Service Fulfillment Manager service accounts into unrelated Oracle E-Business Suite modules
How to Mitigate CVE-2026-60941
Immediate Actions Required
- Apply the July 2026 Oracle Critical Patch Update to all Oracle E-Business Suite deployments running Oracle Service Fulfillment Manager versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15
- Inventory all accounts with high privileges in Oracle Service Fulfillment Manager and validate they remain necessary
- Rotate credentials for privileged accounts that may have been exposed prior to patching
- Restrict network exposure of Oracle E-Business Suite HTTP endpoints to trusted internal networks and VPN access
Patch Information
Oracle addressed CVE-2026-60941 in the Oracle Critical Patch Update - July 2026. Administrators must apply the patch to all supported versions from 12.2.3 through 12.2.15. Consult the CPU advisory for the specific patch numbers applicable to each E-Business Suite release level.
Workarounds
- No official workaround has been published by Oracle - patching is the required remediation
- Enforce least privilege on Oracle E-Business Suite accounts to reduce the population of users who meet the high-privilege prerequisite
- Place a web application firewall in front of Oracle E-Business Suite HTTP endpoints to inspect and rate-limit requests to the Fulfillment Engine
- Enable database-level auditing on Oracle Service Fulfillment Manager schemas to detect exploitation attempts pending patch deployment
