CVE-2026-61171 Overview
CVE-2026-61171 is a critical vulnerability in the Oracle Agile PLM product of Oracle Supply Chain, affecting the Security component. The supported version 9.3.6 is affected. An unauthenticated remote attacker with network access via HTTP can compromise Oracle Agile PLM without user interaction. Successful exploitation results in unauthorized creation, deletion, or modification of critical data and complete read access to all Oracle Agile PLM accessible data.
Critical Impact
Unauthenticated network attackers can gain full read and write access to all data accessible through Oracle Agile PLM, enabling large-scale data compromise across product lifecycle management workflows.
Affected Products
- Oracle Agile PLM 9.3.6
- Oracle Supply Chain (Agile PLM component)
- Security component of Oracle Agile PLM

Technical Details for CVE-2026-61171
Vulnerability Analysis
The flaw resides in the Security component of Oracle Agile PLM 9.3.6. Oracle categorizes the issue as easily exploitable, requiring only network access via HTTP. No authentication and no user interaction are required to trigger the condition.
The impact profile targets confidentiality and integrity of the application's data store. An attacker can read, create, modify, or delete any data accessible to Oracle Agile PLM. Availability is not affected, indicating the vulnerability does not crash or degrade the service.
Because Agile PLM stores intellectual property, bill-of-materials data, engineering change orders, and supplier information, exploitation directly threatens sensitive product design assets.
Root Cause
Oracle has not disclosed the underlying defect class. The Security component classification and the confidentiality plus integrity impact pattern are consistent with authentication bypass or broken access control weaknesses that expose privileged endpoints to unauthenticated HTTP callers. Refer to the Oracle Security Alert - July 2026 for vendor-supplied technical context.
Attack Vector
The attack vector is network-based over HTTP. An attacker sends crafted HTTP requests directly to an exposed Agile PLM instance. Because no privileges or user interaction are needed, the vulnerability is reachable by any client that can route to the application server. Internet-exposed Agile PLM deployments face the highest exposure, but any network-adjacent attacker who reaches the HTTP interface can attempt exploitation.
No public proof-of-concept code or verified exploit examples are available at publication. See the Oracle Critical Patch Update - July 2026 for advisory details.
Detection Methods for CVE-2026-61171
Indicators of Compromise
- Unauthenticated HTTP requests reaching Agile PLM endpoints from unexpected source addresses
- Unusual create, update, or delete operations on Agile PLM records without a corresponding authenticated user session
- New or modified item records, change orders, or attachments outside normal business workflows
- Bulk export or enumeration patterns against Agile PLM URLs
Detection Strategies
- Review Agile PLM application logs for HTTP requests that succeed without a valid session or authentication token
- Compare database audit records against authenticated user activity to surface actions performed without a signed-in principal
- Monitor web application firewall telemetry for anomalous request patterns targeting Agile PLM URIs
- Correlate outbound data transfers from the Agile PLM server with authenticated session activity
Monitoring Recommendations
- Enable and centralize Agile PLM access, application, and database audit logs
- Alert on administrative or high-privilege operations that lack an authenticated user context
- Track schema-level changes to critical tables holding item, BOM, and change order data
- Baseline HTTP request volume per source IP and alert on deviations against Agile PLM endpoints
How to Mitigate CVE-2026-61171
Immediate Actions Required
- Apply the fixes provided in the Oracle Critical Patch Update for July 2026 to all Agile PLM 9.3.6 deployments
- Restrict network access to Agile PLM HTTP endpoints so only trusted internal networks and VPN users can reach them
- Audit Agile PLM data for unauthorized creation, modification, or deletion since the vulnerability disclosure
- Rotate credentials and API keys associated with Agile PLM integrations
Patch Information
Oracle addressed this vulnerability in the July 2026 Critical Patch Update. Administrators should review the Oracle Security Alert - July 2026 and apply the corresponding patch bundle to Oracle Agile PLM 9.3.6.
Workarounds
- Place Agile PLM behind a reverse proxy or web application firewall that enforces authentication before requests reach the application
- Block internet exposure of Agile PLM and require VPN access for all users
- Apply network segmentation to isolate the Agile PLM server from general-purpose corporate networks
- Increase logging verbosity on Agile PLM HTTP and database components until patches are deployed
