CVE-2026-62570 Overview
CVE-2026-62570 affects Oracle Hyperion Infrastructure Technology version 11.2.25.0.000 in the Installation and Configuration component. The flaw allows a high-privileged local attacker with logon access to the host running Oracle Hyperion Infrastructure Technology to compromise integrity and availability of the product. Successful exploitation permits unauthorized update, insert, or delete access to a subset of accessible data and can cause a partial denial of service. The issue is classified under CWE-284: Improper Access Control. Oracle disclosed the vulnerability in its August 2026 security alert cycle.
Critical Impact
A local, authenticated attacker with elevated privileges can modify Hyperion data and induce a partial denial of service on the Hyperion Infrastructure Technology deployment.

Technical Details for CVE-2026-62570
Vulnerability Analysis
The vulnerability resides in the Installation and Configuration component of Oracle Hyperion Infrastructure Technology. It maps to [CWE-284: Improper Access Control], indicating that access decisions do not correctly restrict actions available to authenticated users on the local host. An attacker who already has high privileges on the underlying infrastructure can leverage this weakness to interact with Hyperion functionality beyond the intended authorization boundary.
Oracle rates the attack complexity as high, meaning exploitation depends on specific runtime conditions rather than a straightforward invocation. The confidentiality impact is none, but integrity and availability are both affected at a limited scope. Impacted operations include unauthorized update, insert, or delete against a subset of Hyperion-accessible data. The EPSS probability is 0.117%, reflecting a low likelihood of exploitation activity in the near term.
Root Cause
The root cause is improper access control within the Installation and Configuration component. Authorization checks do not adequately constrain what a privileged local principal can perform against Hyperion resources, allowing lateral misuse of legitimate access.
Attack Vector
The attack vector is local. An attacker must possess valid, high-privileged logon to the host where Oracle Hyperion Infrastructure Technology executes. No user interaction is required, and the scope remains unchanged. Because privileges and local access are prerequisites, the realistic threat model involves insider misuse or an adversary who has already obtained privileged footholds on the Hyperion host.
No public proof-of-concept exploit is available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. Full technical details are available in the Oracle Security Alert.
Detection Methods for CVE-2026-62570
Indicators of Compromise
- Unexpected modifications, insertions, or deletions within Hyperion configuration data or associated datastores.
- Unplanned service degradation or restarts of Hyperion Infrastructure Technology processes indicating partial denial of service.
- Privileged local logons to the Hyperion host outside of documented change windows.
Detection Strategies
- Audit privileged account activity on Hyperion Infrastructure Technology hosts, focusing on Installation and Configuration operations.
- Compare Hyperion configuration state against a known-good baseline to identify unauthorized changes.
- Correlate local logon events with subsequent Hyperion administrative actions to surface anomalous sequences.
Monitoring Recommendations
- Forward host, application, and Hyperion audit logs to a centralized analytics platform for retention and correlation.
- Alert on privilege elevation, service interruptions, and configuration file changes on Hyperion servers.
- Review administrative group membership on Hyperion hosts to ensure only required accounts retain high privileges.
How to Mitigate CVE-2026-62570
Immediate Actions Required
- Apply the fixes referenced in the Oracle August 2026 Security Alert for Oracle Hyperion Infrastructure Technology 11.2.25.0.000.
- Inventory Hyperion deployments and confirm which hosts run the affected version and component.
- Restrict interactive and remote logon on Hyperion hosts to a minimal, audited set of administrators.
Patch Information
Oracle addressed CVE-2026-62570 as part of its August 2026 Critical Security Patch Update cycle. Administrators should consult the Oracle Security Alert for the specific patch identifiers, prerequisites, and installation sequence for Oracle Hyperion Infrastructure Technology 11.2.25.0.000. Apply patches in a non-production environment before promoting to production.
Workarounds
- Enforce least privilege for accounts that can log on to Hyperion Infrastructure Technology servers.
- Segment Hyperion hosts from general-purpose administrative networks to limit local access paths.
- Enable comprehensive auditing of Installation and Configuration activities until patches are deployed.
- Require multi-factor authentication and privileged access management for administrative logons to Hyperion hosts.
