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 · unedited
Vulnerability in the Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform product of Oracle Enterprise Manager (component: Agent Next Gen). Supported versions that are affected are 13.5 and 24.1. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTPS to compromise Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 9.8 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/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 · high confidence

An unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability in Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform's Agent Next Gen component (versions 13.5 and 24.1) allows attackers with network access via HTTPS to completely compromise the system, achieving full takeover with high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

MitigationApply Oracle's critical security patches for Enterprise Manager immediately to address this vulnerability, or implement strict network segmentation and access controls to limit exposure to the Agent Next Gen component until patching is possible.

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 checks

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

  1. Identify Oracle Enterprise Manager installation and version
    Run 'opatch lsinventory' from the Oracle Home directory, or check the $ORACLE_HOME/oraInst.loc file, or look for 'emctl status agent' output which displays the agent and platform version
    Affected if The installed version matches exactly 13.5.0.0 or 24.1.0.0.0
  2. Locate the Agent Next Gen component
    Check for the presence of the Agent Next Gen binaries and configuration in the $ORACLE_HOME/agent directory, or run 'emctl status agent' to confirm the Agent component is installed
    Affected if The Agent Next Gen component is installed and present on the system
  3. Verify the Agent Next Gen is configured and running
    Run 'emctl status agent' and check if the agent process is running; also check for agent configuration files in $ORACLE_HOME/agent/agent_inst/config/
    Affected if The Agent Next Gen is actively configured and running on the target system
  4. Assess network exposure of the agent port
    Run 'netstat -an | grep 3872' or 'ss -tlnp | grep 3872' to check if the agent listener port (default 3872) is bound to a network interface; review firewall rules and listener.ora for external accessibility
    Affected if The agent port is listening on 0.0.0.0 or an external interface, making it network-accessible without authentication

If your Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform is version 13.5.0.0 or 24.1.0.0.0, the Agent Next Gen component is installed and running, and the agent port is network-accessible, then your environment is vulnerable to unauthenticated remote code execution.

Mitigation

Apply Oracle's critical security patches for Enterprise Manager immediately to address this vulnerability, or implement strict network segmentation and access controls to limit exposure to the Agent Next Gen component until patching is possible.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

Apply the Oracle Critical Patch Update containing the fix for CVE-2026-46994 (consult Oracle's official patch database for the specific patch number)

  1. 1. Review Oracle Enterprise Manager 13.5 and 24.1 systems for the Agent Next Gen component.
  2. 2. Apply the latest Oracle Critical Patch Update (CPU) that addresses CVE-2026-46994.
  3. 3. Oracle CPUs are typically released quarterly; check the Oracle Critical Patch Updates documentation for the specific patch containing this fix.
  4. 4. After applying the patch, verify the Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform is running the patched version.
  5. 5. Restart the Agent Next Gen component if required by the patch instructions.
  6. 6. Validate that the vulnerability is no longer present using Oracle's recommended verification procedures.
Caveat Apply Oracle patches during planned maintenance windows as patch application may require component restarts
