CVE-2026-60742Network attack vector

Platform takeover via authentication bypass

Published Aug 18, 2026 · Updated Aug 21, 2026

Authentication bypass in PIA Core Technology in Oracle PeopleTools 8.61 through 8.63 allows remote attackers to take over the platform via HTTP. Oracle places the flaw in the PIA Core Technology component but has not published the endpoint or code path that improperly accepts unauthenticated HTTP requests. No credentials or user interaction are required, although Oracle rates exploitation as high complexity; successful exploitation yields control of the PeopleTools instance.
