CVE-2026-61194: Oracle Agile Engineering Data DoS Vulnerability

CVE-2026-61194 Overview

CVE-2026-61194 is a denial of service vulnerability in Oracle Agile Engineering Data Management (EDM), a component of the Oracle Supply Chain product family. The flaw affects the Core component of Oracle Agile EDM version 6.2.1. An attacker with low privileges and network access via TCP can exploit the vulnerability to cause a hang or a frequently repeatable crash, resulting in a complete denial of service of the application. Oracle addressed the issue in the July 2026 Critical Patch Update.

Critical Impact
A low-privileged authenticated attacker with network access can trigger a complete denial of service of Oracle Agile Engineering Data Management, halting engineering data operations across the supply chain.

Technical Details for CVE-2026-61194

Vulnerability Analysis

The vulnerability resides in the Core component of Oracle Agile Engineering Data Management 6.2.1. Exploitation requires network reachability to the application over TCP and a valid low-privileged account. Successful exploitation does not affect confidentiality or integrity, but availability impact is high. The result is a hang or a repeatable crash that produces a complete outage of the Agile EDM service.

Because Agile EDM stores product design data, bills of material, and engineering change records, a sustained outage disrupts engineering workflows and downstream supply chain processes. The vulnerability is classified as a Denial of Service issue with a network attack vector and low attack complexity.

Root Cause

Oracle has not published a detailed technical root cause in the July 2026 Critical Patch Update advisory. The advisory characterizes the issue as an availability defect in the Core component that is triggered through authenticated interaction over TCP. Refer to the Oracle Critical Patch Update July 2026 advisory for the authoritative description and patch mapping.

Attack Vector

An authenticated user with any low-privileged role sends a crafted request over a TCP network path to the Agile EDM service. The request drives the Core component into a hang or crash state. No user interaction is required beyond the attacker's own actions, and the scope remains unchanged. Repeat submission produces a reliably reproducible outage.

No public proof-of-concept exploit is available at the time of publication. No entries exist in Exploit-DB, and the vulnerability is not listed on the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. The EPSS score is 0.393% with a percentile of 31.88, indicating low near-term exploitation probability.

Detection Methods for CVE-2026-61194

Indicators of Compromise

Unexpected termination or unresponsive state of the Oracle Agile EDM Java processes on the application server
Repeated crash entries or thread dumps in Agile EDM server logs shortly after authenticated user requests
Abnormal spikes in TCP connections to Agile EDM listener ports from a single authenticated session
Loss of availability alerts from application monitoring tied to the Core component

Detection Strategies

Correlate application crash events with authenticated user session identifiers to identify the originating account
Monitor Agile EDM server logs and JVM heap or thread dumps for repeating exception traces after the incident window
Baseline normal request rates from authenticated users and alert on deviations targeting the Core component

Monitoring Recommendations

Enable verbose logging on the Agile EDM Core component and forward logs to a centralized SIEM
Track service uptime and process restart counts for the Agile EDM application server
Alert on failed health checks and TCP session anomalies against Agile EDM listener ports

How to Mitigate CVE-2026-61194

Immediate Actions Required

Apply the fix delivered in the Oracle Critical Patch Update July 2026 to Oracle Agile Engineering Data Management 6.2.1
Inventory all Agile EDM 6.2.1 deployments and prioritize internet-exposed or partner-facing instances
Review and reduce the number of low-privileged accounts that can reach the Agile EDM service over TCP
Enable application and infrastructure monitoring to detect service hangs or restarts

Patch Information

Oracle released the corrective update for CVE-2026-61194 as part of the July 2026 Critical Patch Update. Administrators should consult the Oracle patch matrix, apply the vendor-supplied patch for Agile EDM 6.2.1, and validate the fix in a staging environment before production rollout. The advisory is available at the Oracle Critical Patch Update July 2026.

Workarounds

Restrict TCP network access to the Agile EDM service to trusted management networks using firewall rules or network segmentation
Enforce strong authentication and audit low-privileged user accounts, disabling any that are dormant or unnecessary
Rate-limit or gate access to the Core component through a reverse proxy or application gateway until patching is complete
Configure automated service restart and failover for the Agile EDM application server to shorten outage windows

bash

# Example: restrict TCP access to Agile EDM listener to a management subnet
# Replace 10.10.0.0/24 with your authorized administration subnet
# and <AGILE_EDM_PORT> with the configured application port
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport <AGILE_EDM_PORT> -s 10.10.0.0/24 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport <AGILE_EDM_PORT> -j DROP
