CVE-2026-46792
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.
NVD · uneditedVulnerability in the Identity Manager Connector product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: Generic Unix Connector). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Identity Manager Connector. While the vulnerability is in Identity Manager Connector, attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Identity Manager Connector. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 9.9 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H).
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.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceOracle Identity Manager Connector vulnerability in the Generic Unix Connector component allows low-privileged attackers with network access via HTTP to achieve complete takeover of the connector. The CVSS 9.9 score indicates trivial exploitability with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, and the scope change indicates attacks may propagate to additional products.

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.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify Oracle Identity Manager Connector installationCheck for Oracle Identity Manager Connector installation directories and binaries. Common locations include $ORACLE_HOME/idm/connectors or /oracle/idm/connectors. Look for Generic Unix Connector related files (often named GenericUnixConnector.jar or similar).Affected if The Generic Unix Connector component of Oracle Identity Manager Connector is installed and version matches 12.2.1.4.0 or 14.1.2.1.0
-
Verify installed connector versionCheck connector version file or manifest. Typical locations: look for version.properties, MANIFEST.MF inside the connector JAR file, or check the connector installation logs. The specific versions are 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0.Affected if Installed version equals exactly 12.2.1.4.0 or exactly 14.1.2.1.0
-
Confirm Generic Unix Connector is configuredCheck Oracle Identity Manager configuration files for Generic Unix Connector provisioning. Look for connector-config.xml or similar configuration files in the IdM configuration directory that reference GenericUnix or Unix connector targets.Affected if Generic Unix Connector is actively configured or provisioned in the Oracle Identity Manager environment
-
Assess network exposure of connector endpointsReview network access controls and firewall rules around the Oracle Identity Manager connector endpoints. Check if connector HTTP/HTTPS ports (typically 8080, 8443, or custom ports) are exposed to untrusted networks. Verify connector listener configurations.Affected if Connector HTTP endpoints are accessible from untrusted networks or low-privileged users have network access to connector interfaces
Environment is affected if Oracle Identity Manager Connector version 12.2.1.4.0 or 14.1.2.1.0 with Generic Unix Connector component is installed and network-accessible to low-privileged users.

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.
From vendor dataApply Oracle security patches for Identity Manager Connector versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0 as soon as Oracle releases them. Until then, restrict network access to connector endpoints and minimize privileges of accounts interacting with the connector.
