A significant security vulnerability has been discovered in Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS). Tracked as CVE-2025-61884 with a CVSS Base Score of 7.5 (High), this flaw affects versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.14. The exposure is remotely exploitable without authentication, meaning an attacker can gain access to sensitive resources over a network without needing a username or password. Due to the high severity and unauthenticated access vector, Oracle strongly recommends that customers apply the necessary updates as soon as possible.
Summary
Vulnerability: Unauthenticated access to sensitive resources via the Configurator Runtime UI component.
CVE: CVE-2025-61884
Impact: Unauthenticated access to sensitive resources, leading to high confidentiality loss.
Affected Versions: Oracle E-Business Suite versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.14.
Severity: High, CVSS 7.5
Fix: Implement the patch and update Oracle EBS to the latest stable version.
How the attack works
The core of CVE-2025-61884 is a vulnerability within the Configurator Runtime UI component of Oracle E-Business Suite. This flaw can be exploited remotely over a network, it requires no authentication and no user interaction. An attacker can exploit this weakness directly, gaining unauthorized access to sensitive resources within the system. The attack vector is considered Network with Low attack complexity, meaning it is relatively simple for a threat actor to leverage against internet-facing EBS installations.
Exploitation in the wild
Oracle has issued a Security Alert due to the severity of this vulnerability. While detailed information about the security analysis is not disclosed, the risk matrix indicates that the flaw is easily exploitable over a network without user credentials. The ease of access and the widespread deployment of Oracle E-Business Suite make this a high-value target for automated scanning and opportunistic exploitation by attackers.
What makes this so dangerous
This vulnerability presents a significant risk due to the following factors:
- Unauthenticated remote exploitation: The flaw can be triggered over a network with no username or password required, making all vulnerable, internet-facing EBS instances immediately susceptible.
- High confidentiality impact: A successful exploit results in High confidentiality impact, meaning attackers can access sensitive resources within the Oracle E-Business Suite.
- Low attack complexity: The vulnerability has a Low attack complexity rating, suggesting the exploit is straightforward to execute, lowering the barrier to entry for threat actors.
Mitigation steps and best practices
Administrators should prioritize patching immediately to close this easily accessible exposure.
- Apply patches immediately: Oracle strongly recommends applying the updates or mitigations provided in the Security Alert as soon as possible.
- Upgrade unsupported versions: Customers running versions not covered under Premier or Extended Support should upgrade to supported versions, as earlier releases are also likely affected.
- Restrict network access: Limit network access to the Configurator Runtime UI component to only trusted internal networks or specific administrative hosts to mitigate the remote exploitation vector.
- Continuous detection: Actively monitor your external attack surface for newly emerging, unauthenticated exposures like this one to ensure a rapid response process is in place, shortening the window of opportunity for sophisticated attackers.
