CVE-2026-61249: Oracle Learning Management Data Exposure

CVE-2026-61249 Overview

CVE-2026-61249 is an information disclosure vulnerability in the Oracle Learning Management product of Oracle E-Business Suite. The flaw resides in the Import and Export component and affects supported versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15. A low-privileged attacker with network access via HTTP can exploit the issue to gain unauthorized access to sensitive Oracle Learning Management data. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor. Oracle addressed the issue in the July 2026 Critical Patch Update.

Critical Impact
Successful exploitation grants an authenticated attacker read access to all data accessible to Oracle Learning Management, exposing learner records, course content, and related business data.

Affected Products

Oracle E-Business Suite - Oracle Learning Management 12.2.3
Oracle E-Business Suite - Oracle Learning Management versions 12.2.4 through 12.2.14

Technical Details for CVE-2026-61249

Vulnerability Analysis

CVE-2026-61249 is an information disclosure weakness in the Import and Export component of Oracle Learning Management. The component processes HTTP requests that read and export learning content, learner records, and related metadata. Insufficient access enforcement in this workflow allows an authenticated user to retrieve data that should be restricted to higher-privileged roles.

Exploitation requires only network access and low-level Oracle E-Business Suite credentials. No user interaction is needed, and attack complexity is low. The impact is limited to confidentiality; integrity and availability of the application remain intact.

The EPSS probability for this CVE is 0.355% at the 28th percentile, indicating limited near-term exploitation activity in observed telemetry. No public proof-of-concept or CISA KEV listing exists at the time of publication.

Root Cause

The root cause is improper authorization enforcement in the Import and Export component (mapped to CWE-200). Oracle has not publicly disclosed the specific code path. The component fails to validate that the requesting session has the required entitlement before returning exported data to the caller.

Attack Vector

The attacker authenticates to Oracle E-Business Suite with any low-privileged account and issues crafted HTTP requests to the Learning Management Import and Export endpoints. The server processes the request and returns data the caller should not be able to read. Oracle has not published exploitation code, and no third-party proof-of-concept has been observed.

See the Oracle July 2026 Security Alert for vendor-supplied technical details.

Detection Methods for CVE-2026-61249

Indicators of Compromise

Unexpected HTTP requests from low-privileged E-Business Suite user accounts to Oracle Learning Management Import and Export URLs.
Large or repeated data export responses returned to users whose role does not typically use export features.
Anomalous access patterns from a single session iterating across learner or course identifiers.

Detection Strategies

Enable Oracle E-Business Suite application-tier auditing and correlate export activity with user role assignments.
Alert on HTTP 200 responses to Learning Management import/export endpoints where the response size exceeds normal baselines.
Review web-tier access logs for authenticated sessions making high-volume requests to Learning Management modules outside business hours.

Monitoring Recommendations

Forward Oracle E-Business Suite Apache and application audit logs to a centralized SIEM for correlation.
Track per-user export volume and flag deviations against a 30-day rolling baseline.
Monitor database session activity from the Learning Management schema for read patterns inconsistent with the calling user's role.

How to Mitigate CVE-2026-61249

Immediate Actions Required

Apply the July 2026 Oracle Critical Patch Update for Oracle E-Business Suite as documented in the Oracle July 2026 Security Alert.
Inventory all Oracle Learning Management deployments running versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 and prioritize internet-facing instances.
Review and revoke unnecessary Oracle E-Business Suite user accounts, particularly dormant low-privileged accounts.

Patch Information

Oracle released fixes for CVE-2026-61249 in the July 2026 Critical Patch Update. Administrators should apply the Oracle E-Business Suite patchset that corresponds to their installed version between 12.2.3 and 12.2.15. Full patch identifiers and download instructions are listed in the Oracle July 2026 Security Alert.

Workarounds

Restrict network access to the Oracle E-Business Suite application tier using firewall rules and reverse-proxy allowlists until patches are deployed.
Disable or unpublish the Oracle Learning Management Import and Export functions if they are not in active use.
Enforce strong authentication and reduce assigned responsibilities for low-privileged E-Business Suite accounts to limit potential exposure.

bash

# Configuration example: restrict access to E-Business Suite application tier
# Replace <TRUSTED_CIDR> with your management network range
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 8000 -s <TRUSTED_CIDR> -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 8000 -j DROP
