Official description

NVD · unedited

Vulnerability in the Oracle Scripting product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: Scripting Admin). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.3-12.2.15. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Scripting. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and while the vulnerability is in Oracle Scripting, attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle Scripting accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle Scripting accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 6.1 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N).

Technical summary

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

Unauthenticated HTTP vulnerability in Oracle E-Business Suite Scripting Admin allows remote attackers to perform unauthorized read, insert, update, and delete operations on a subset of Oracle Scripting data. The attack requires human interaction and can impact additional products beyond Oracle Scripting due to scope change.

MitigationApply Oracle Critical Patch Update (CPU) containing the fix for CVE-2026-21943 to affected Oracle E-Business Suite versions 12.2.3-12.2.15. Restrict network access to Scripting Admin interfaces where possible until patch is applied.

Am I affected?

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

Identify Oracle E-Business Suite installation

Check for Oracle E-Business Suite installation directories or use Oracle application version查询 commands such as 'adident' or check the Oracle applications context file for the installation base.

Affected if Oracle E-Business Suite is installed with Scripting component
Determine Oracle Scripting version

Query the Oracle Scripting version using Oracle application version utilities or check the Scripting product version file in the Oracle applications top-level directory.

Affected if Scripting version is 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 inclusive
Verify Scripting Admin HTTP accessibility

Check if the Scripting Admin web interface is exposed via HTTP. Review web server configuration or Oracle HTTP Server settings for Scripting Admin URL paths.

Affected if Scripting Admin is accessible over HTTP without authentication
Confirm Scripting Admin is enabled

Review Oracle E-Business Suite configuration to determine if the Scripting Admin function is enabled and accessible to users.

Affected if Scripting Admin feature is enabled in the environment

Your environment is affected if Oracle Scripting version 12.2.3-12.2.15 is installed AND the Scripting Admin interface is accessible via HTTP without authentication.

Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.

Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

Affected products & versions What the vendor confirmedThe version ranges the vendor confirmed as vulnerable. If your version sits inside a range here, treat yourself as exposed until you have upgraded.

CVSS breakdown How the score is builtThe industry scoring standard. It rates how the flaw is reached, what it takes to exploit, and what an attacker gains — the score is derived from those, not the other way round.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
