Unauthenticated limited data read and modification

Published Jul 21, 2026 · Updated Jul 21, 2026

Improper authorization in Oracle Knowledge Management 12.2.5 through 12.2.15 allows remote attackers to read and modify data via HTTP. Oracle identifies the Search component but has not published the vulnerable request, parameter, or incorrect operation on untrusted input. Exploitation requires no credentials but requires another person to interact; impact is limited to reading a subset and updating, inserting, or deleting some accessible data, with effects crossing product boundaries.
