CVE-2026-60945 Overview
CVE-2026-60945 affects the Oracle Learning 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 Learning Management. Successful exploitation requires human interaction from a user other than the attacker. Attackers who exploit this issue can achieve unauthorized creation, deletion, or modification of critical data, as well as unauthorized read access to all Oracle Learning Management accessible data.
Critical Impact
Authenticated attackers can compromise data confidentiality and integrity across Oracle Learning Management by tricking legitimate users into interacting with malicious HTTP content.

Technical Details for CVE-2026-60945
Vulnerability Analysis
CVE-2026-60945 resides in the Internal Operations component of Oracle Learning Management, part of Oracle E-Business Suite. The vulnerability is reachable over HTTP and can be triggered by an authenticated user with low privileges. Exploitation requires a separate victim user to interact with attacker-supplied content, which is characteristic of client-mediated attack chains such as cross-site scripting or request forgery flows within business applications.
Once the victim interacts with the malicious content, the attacker inherits the victim's context within the application. This enables read access to sensitive learning records and the ability to create, alter, or delete data stored within the Learning Management module. Availability is not impacted, but the confidentiality and integrity effects extend to all data accessible by the affected component.
Root Cause
Oracle has not published detailed root-cause information beyond the July 2026 Critical Patch Update advisory. Based on the attack profile — network vector, low privileges, and required user interaction — the underlying weakness is consistent with insufficient validation of user-supplied input processed by the Internal Operations component, allowing an attacker to influence server-side actions performed on behalf of another user.
Attack Vector
The attacker authenticates to Oracle E-Business Suite with a low-privileged account and crafts a malicious HTTP request or URL targeting the Internal Operations component of Oracle Learning Management. The attacker then delivers this content to a higher-context user, typically through email or an in-application link. When the victim interacts with the payload, the request executes under the victim's session and permissions, resulting in unauthorized data reads or modifications. No verified public exploit is currently available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.
Detection Methods for CVE-2026-60945
Indicators of Compromise
- Unexpected HTTP POST or GET requests to Oracle Learning Management Internal Operations endpoints originating from low-privileged user sessions.
- Unusual create, update, or delete operations against Learning Management records performed shortly after a user clicked an external link.
- Session activity showing back-to-back requests from two different user accounts within a short time window against the same resource.
Detection Strategies
- Enable and review Oracle E-Business Suite audit logs for the Learning Management module, focusing on data modification events tied to Internal Operations.
- Correlate web server access logs with application audit trails to identify HTTP requests that produced privileged actions after user interaction with external referrers.
- Deploy web application firewall rules that flag suspicious parameter patterns targeting Oracle E-Business Suite URLs.
Monitoring Recommendations
- Monitor for anomalous email or messaging traffic delivering links to Oracle E-Business Suite hostnames from internal low-privileged accounts.
- Track privileged Learning Management actions performed by accounts that do not normally administer training data.
- Alert on outbound HTTP responses containing bulk exports of Learning Management records outside of scheduled reporting windows.
How to Mitigate CVE-2026-60945
Immediate Actions Required
- Apply the fixes delivered in the Oracle Security Alert July 2026 to all Oracle E-Business Suite instances running Learning Management versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15.
- Inventory Oracle E-Business Suite deployments and confirm patch level before returning affected instances to normal operations.
- Rotate credentials for accounts that showed suspicious activity in Learning Management audit logs.
Patch Information
Oracle addressed CVE-2026-60945 in the July 2026 Critical Patch Update. Administrators should download the applicable patch from My Oracle Support and follow Oracle's documented procedures for E-Business Suite 12.2 patching, including AutoConfig runs and post-installation validation.
Workarounds
- Restrict network access to the Oracle E-Business Suite Learning Management URLs to trusted internal networks and VPN users until patches are applied.
- Enforce strict user-agent and referrer inspection at the reverse proxy or WAF layer to block requests that appear to originate from external content.
- Educate Learning Management users to avoid clicking unsolicited links referencing Oracle E-Business Suite endpoints.
