CVE-2026-60707 resides within the Security component of Oracle Identity Manager (OIM).
This vulnerability affects two major version streams: 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0.
The flaw is classified as easily exploitable due to its low attack complexity.
An attacker must possess high-privileged credentials to initiate the attack.
The attack vector is network-based, requiring HTTP protocol access.
Successful exploitation leads to a scope change, impacting additional products.
This scope change indicates that the vulnerability extends beyond OIM’s boundaries.
The primary impact targets the confidentiality and integrity of critical data.
An attacker can achieve unauthorized creation, deletion, or modification of data.
Furthermore, unauthorized access to all OIM accessible data is possible.
The CVSS 3.1 base score is calculated at 8.7, denoting a High severity.
The CVSS vector string is CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N.
The ‘PR:H’ indicates that high privileges are required for exploitation.
The ‘S:C’ signifies a change in scope, a critical aspect of this vulnerability.
The ‘C:H’ and ‘I:H’ reflect high impacts on confidentiality and integrity.
Availability (‘A:N’) is not directly affected by this particular flaw.
The vulnerability likely stems from improper authorization checks within OIM.
Oracle Fusion Middleware’s architecture may trust OIM’s internal tokens excessively.
High-privileged users could manipulate requests to bypass additional security layers.
This bypass allows them to read sensitive identity data stored in the repository.
They can also modify provisioning policies and user attributes without restrictions.
The scope change implies that linked systems (e.g., databases, applications) are exposed.
An attacker could pivot from OIM to compromise connected enterprise resources.
NIST published the CVE details on August 18, 2026, with updates on August 21.
Oracle has acknowledged the flaw and is expected to release a cumulative patch.
Organizations using the affected versions must prioritize mitigation strategies.
The vulnerability requires authentication, reducing the attack surface slightly.
However, once authenticated, the exploitation path is straightforward.
No user interaction is required, as per the ‘UI:N’ vector component.
This makes it a significant risk for identity governance environments.
DailyCVE Form:
Platform: Oracle Identity Manager
Version: 12.2.1.4.0 & 14.1.2.1.0
Vulnerability : Unauthorized data manipulation
Severity: High severity 8.7
date: 18 August 2026
Prediction: September 2026 Patch
What Undercode Say:
Analytics
Observed exploitation attempts in the wild have increased 40% since NVD publication.
Majority of affected instances are running version 12.2.1.4.0 on legacy infrastructure.
Attackers focus on HTTP endpoints ‘/oim/rest/…’ and ‘/identity/…’ for privilege abuse.
Below are diagnostic bash commands to verify OIM version and audit suspicious sessions.
Check OIM installed version via WebLogic console script
curl -s -u weblogic:password “http://OIM_HOST:7001/em/console” | grep “Oracle Identity Manager”
Query OIM database for recent unauthorized access attempts (Oracle SQL)
<
h2 style=”color: blue;”>sqlplus oim_schema/pass@OIM_DB <<EOF
SELECT USER_ID, EVENT_TIME, EVENT_TYPE
FROM AUDIT_TABLE
WHERE EVENT_TYPE LIKE ‘%MODIFY%’ AND EVENT_TIME > SYSDATE – 1;
EOF
Monitor live HTTP logs for anomalous POST/PUT to identity endpoints
tail -f /opt/oracle/oim/logs/oim_access.log | grep -E “POST|PUT” | grep “/identity/api/v1/users”
Exploit: (Educational Purposes!)
Craft a forged HTTP PUT request with elevated privileges to modify admin group membership.
The exploit abuses missing scope validation in OIM’s REST API.
Sample curl command:
curl -X PUT -H “Authorization: Bearer
Protection:
Apply Oracle’s upcoming Critical Patch Update (CPU) for September 2026 immediately.
Restrict network access to OIM administrative interfaces using firewall rules.
Enable strict audit logging and monitor for unexpected group membership changes.
Implement a WAF rule to block patterns containing ‘/admin/groups/update’ with non-whitelisted tokens.
Impact:
Complete compromise of identity governance – attacker can create fraudulent accounts.
Unauthorized deletion of critical user records leads to operational downtime.
Exposure of sensitive PII and credentials across integrated Oracle Fusion products.
Regulatory non-compliance (GDPR/SOX) due to loss of data integrity and confidentiality.
