CVE-2026-61095 Overview
CVE-2026-61095 affects the Oracle Communications Unified Inventory Management (UIM) product within the Oracle Communications suite. The flaw resides in the Security component and is exploitable over HTTP by an authenticated attacker with low privileges. Successful exploitation grants unauthorized access to critical UIM data and permits limited unauthorized insert, update, or delete operations against accessible data. Oracle disclosed the issue in the Oracle Security Alert - July 2026.
Critical Impact
A low-privileged network attacker can compromise confidentiality of all UIM-accessible data and modify a subset of that data through HTTP requests, without user interaction.
Affected Products
- Oracle Communications Unified Inventory Management 7.5.0, 7.5.1, 7.6.0
- Oracle Communications Unified Inventory Management 7.7.0, 7.8.0
- Oracle Communications Unified Inventory Management 8.0.1

Technical Details for CVE-2026-61095
Vulnerability Analysis
The vulnerability sits in the Security component of Oracle Communications Unified Inventory Management. An attacker sending crafted HTTP requests can bypass intended access controls and reach data that should be restricted. The advisory characterizes the impact as high on confidentiality and low on integrity, with no impact on availability.
Exploitation requires network access and a low-privileged account. No user interaction is needed, and the attack complexity is low. Because UIM stores inventory data for telecommunications services, subscribers, and network resources, unauthorized access exposes sensitive operational information across the platform.
The EPSS probability is 0.303% (percentile 22.434) as of 2026-07-23, indicating no evidence of active exploitation at publication.
Root Cause
Oracle's advisory attributes the defect to the Security component of UIM but does not publish the underlying flaw class. The impact profile — broad read access plus partial write access reachable by any authenticated low-privileged user — is consistent with a broken access control weakness in server-side authorization enforcement.
Attack Vector
The attack vector is network-based over HTTP. An attacker with a valid low-privileged UIM account submits HTTP requests that reference resources or actions outside the account's authorization scope. Because the vulnerability is described as easily exploitable, the required request pattern does not depend on race conditions, brute forcing, or specialized tooling.
No public proof-of-concept, exploit module, or CISA KEV listing exists for CVE-2026-61095 at the time of publication. Refer to the Oracle Security Alert - July 2026 for vendor-specific technical details.
Detection Methods for CVE-2026-61095
Indicators of Compromise
- Unexpected HTTP requests from low-privileged UIM accounts targeting administrative or cross-tenant endpoints.
- Authenticated sessions issuing high volumes of read requests against inventory objects outside their normal scope.
- Unauthorized write, insert, or delete operations logged in UIM audit trails without a corresponding change ticket.
Detection Strategies
- Enable and centralize UIM application and web-tier access logs, and alert on authorization denials followed by successful access from the same principal.
- Baseline normal API access patterns per role and flag deviations, particularly reads against sensitive inventory tables.
- Correlate WebLogic and UIM audit events in a SIEM to identify privilege boundary violations.
Monitoring Recommendations
- Monitor HTTP request rates and response codes on UIM endpoints for anomalies against per-user baselines.
- Track database query patterns from the UIM service account for unusual SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT, or DELETE volumes.
- Review new or modified low-privileged UIM accounts and validate their entitlements against role definitions.
How to Mitigate CVE-2026-61095
Immediate Actions Required
- Apply the July 2026 Oracle Critical Patch Update for Oracle Communications Unified Inventory Management to all affected 7.5.0, 7.5.1, 7.6.0, 7.7.0, 7.8.0, and 8.0.1 deployments.
- Restrict network access to UIM HTTP interfaces to trusted management networks and jump hosts.
- Audit existing UIM user accounts and revoke unnecessary low-privileged access, particularly for dormant or shared accounts.
Patch Information
Oracle addressed CVE-2026-61095 in the July 2026 Critical Patch Update cycle. Consult the Oracle Security Alert - July 2026 for patch identifiers, prerequisites, and version-specific installation instructions. Oracle recommends applying the fix without delay because the vulnerability is exploitable by any authenticated user with HTTP access.
Workarounds
- Place UIM behind a reverse proxy or WAF that enforces authentication and blocks unauthenticated or anomalous HTTP requests until patches are applied.
- Enforce strict network segmentation so that only operations staff and integrated systems can reach UIM endpoints.
- Rotate credentials for all low-privileged UIM accounts and enforce MFA on any upstream identity provider used for UIM login.
