CVE-2026-60856Network attack vector

Unauthenticated critical data access and modification

Published Aug 18, 2026 · Updated Aug 21, 2026

Improper access control in Oracle PeopleSoft PeopleTools 8.61 through 8.63 allows remote attackers to read and modify critical data via HTTP. Oracle identifies the Install and Packaging component but has not published the affected request handler or the access-control operation it performs incorrectly. Exploitation requires no credentials or user interaction but has high complexity; successful attacks can create, delete, read, or modify accessible data.
