Executive brief
Oracle Autonomous Health Framework is a monitoring and diagnostic tool used to manage Oracle database environments. A vulnerability in its Trace File Analyzer component allows a high-privileged attacker with local infrastructure access to corrupt or delete critical data and cause service outages. Successful exploitation requires tricking another user into interacting with a malicious file, and can impact both the framework and connected Oracle systems.
Technical details
The vulnerability is a privilege escalation flaw in the Trace File Analyzer component of Oracle Autonomous Health Framework (versions 26–26.5.2). It requires high-level privileges and local system access, with low complexity exploitation. The attack vector is local and requires user interaction (UI:R), meaning a victim must be socially engineered to perform an action. Successful exploitation grants the ability to create, delete, or modify critical data and cause denial of service through application crashes. The CVSS vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C) indicates scope change, meaning the impact extends beyond the framework to other Oracle products. Patches are available through Oracle's security updates.
