How the CVE Works
CVE-2025-21516 exploits an access control flaw in Oracle Customer Care (part of Oracle E-Business Suite) versions 12.2.5-12.2.13. Attackers with low privileges can send crafted HTTP requests to bypass authorization checks, enabling unauthorized data creation, deletion, or modification. The vulnerability stems from improper validation of user-supplied input in the Service Requests component, allowing attackers to manipulate critical business data. The CVSS 3.1 score of 8.1 reflects high risks to confidentiality and integrity due to the lack of proper session and role-based access controls.
