CVE-2026-62549: Oracle HRMS (UK) data compromise in UK Payroll

CVE-2026-62549 · Severity: critical · CVSS 9.6 · Published 2026-07-21

A critical vulnerability exists in the UK Payroll component of Oracle HRMS, a system used by organizations to manage human resources and employee compensation. An attacker with basic user access can exploit this flaw over the network to view, modify, or delete sensitive payroll and employee data. Because the vulnerability allows for a 'scope change,' an attack could potentially spread to impact other integrated business systems beyond the HR module.
