Technical details
This vulnerability affects the User Interface component of Oracle Knowledge Management within Oracle E-Business Suite versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15. It is classified as an improper access control or data validation issue that allows a low-privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise the application. Successful exploitation enables the attacker to perform unauthorized CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on a subset of the data accessible to the Knowledge Management module. The attack does not require user interaction and has a low complexity, though it does require valid low-level authentication credentials. The fix is included in the Oracle Critical Patch Update for July 2026.
