CVE-2026-61169 Overview
CVE-2026-61169 affects the Oracle Agile PLM product within Oracle Supply Chain, specifically the Security component. The supported version confirmed as affected is 9.3.6. A low-privileged attacker with logon access to the infrastructure where Oracle Agile PLM executes can compromise the application. The vulnerability introduces a scope change, meaning successful exploitation may affect additional Oracle products beyond Agile PLM itself. Confirmed impact is unauthorized access to critical data or complete read access to all Oracle Agile PLM accessible data.
Critical Impact
Successful exploitation grants unauthorized read access to all data accessible by Oracle Agile PLM, with potential impact extending to connected products through a scope change.
Affected Products
- Oracle Agile PLM (Oracle Supply Chain)
- Oracle Agile PLM version 9.3.6
- Security component of Oracle Agile PLM

Technical Details for CVE-2026-61169
Vulnerability Analysis
The flaw resides in the Security component of Oracle Agile PLM 9.3.6, a Product Lifecycle Management platform used in supply chain operations. The vulnerability is classified as an information disclosure issue. Oracle characterizes exploitation as easy, requiring only local logon access to the infrastructure hosting Agile PLM.
The scope change indicator means the vulnerable component and the impacted component are not the same security authority. An attacker exploiting the Agile PLM Security component can reach data managed outside the immediate Agile PLM boundary. Confidentiality impact is high, while integrity and availability remain unaffected.
The EPSS probability is 0.145% at the 4.211 percentile, indicating low observed exploitation likelihood at publication. However, the low complexity and low privilege prerequisites make this a practical risk in environments where local access can be obtained.
Root Cause
Oracle has not published detailed root cause information in the public advisory. The classification points to an improper access control or information exposure weakness within the Agile PLM Security component that allows an authenticated local user to retrieve data beyond their authorization boundary. Full technical details are restricted to Oracle customers under the Critical Patch Update program.
Attack Vector
The attack vector is Local. An attacker requires valid low-privilege credentials and logon access to the infrastructure running Oracle Agile PLM. No user interaction is required. Once authenticated, the attacker interacts with the Security component to obtain unauthorized access to sensitive data. Because the scope changes, retrieved data may include information managed by adjacent Oracle components integrated with Agile PLM.
No public proof-of-concept exploit or exploit database entry is currently associated with this CVE. Refer to the Oracle Security Alert July 2026 for vendor-provided technical context.
Detection Methods for CVE-2026-61169
Indicators of Compromise
- Unexpected read operations against Agile PLM data objects performed by low-privileged accounts.
- Access log entries showing enumeration of Agile PLM Security component endpoints from local sessions.
- Data export or query volumes from Agile PLM that deviate from historical baselines.
Detection Strategies
- Enable and centralize Oracle Agile PLM audit logging, forwarding events to a SIEM for correlation with authentication and host activity.
- Baseline normal query patterns for each Agile PLM role and alert on deviations, especially large data reads by non-administrative accounts.
- Correlate local logons to the Agile PLM host with subsequent application-level data access to detect misuse of legitimate credentials.
Monitoring Recommendations
- Monitor operating system authentication events on the Agile PLM host and flag interactive sessions from service or shared accounts.
- Track privileged operations and configuration changes within the Agile PLM Security component in near real time.
- Alert on outbound data transfers from the Agile PLM server that could indicate exfiltration following unauthorized access.
How to Mitigate CVE-2026-61169
Immediate Actions Required
- Apply the July 2026 Oracle Critical Patch Update fixes for Oracle Agile PLM 9.3.6 as documented in the Oracle Security Alert July 2026.
- Inventory all Agile PLM 9.3.6 instances, including test and staging systems, and prioritize patching production environments first.
- Review and reduce the set of accounts with local logon rights to the Agile PLM infrastructure.
Patch Information
Oracle addressed CVE-2026-61169 in the July 2026 Critical Patch Update. Administrators should download and apply the patch bundle for Oracle Agile PLM from My Oracle Support and validate the fix in a non-production environment before production rollout. Full details are available in the Oracle Security Alert July 2026.
Workarounds
- Restrict local logon rights on the Agile PLM host to a minimal set of administrators using operating system group policies.
- Enforce network segmentation so that only authorized management workstations can reach the Agile PLM infrastructure.
- Rotate credentials and review role assignments within Agile PLM to remove excess privileges before and after patching.
- Increase audit logging verbosity for the Security component until the patch is deployed.
