Technical details
A vulnerability in the Metadata Plugin component of Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform allows for a full system takeover. The flaw is exploitable by an unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTPS. While the vulnerability is classified as easily exploitable, it requires user interaction (UI:R), suggesting a client-side attack vector such as Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) or a similar injection that leverages a victim's session. Successful exploitation results in complete loss of confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:H/I:H/A:H). Affected versions include 13.5 and 24.1. Users should refer to the Oracle Critical Patch Update (CPU) for July 2026 for remediation steps.
