Low-privilege read and write of sensitive data
Published Aug 18, 2026 · Updated Aug 21, 2026
Improper access control in Oracle PeopleSoft Enterprise PeopleTools 8.61 and 8.62 allows local users to read and modify sensitive data. Oracle identifies the affected area only as the Security component and does not disclose the failing code path or trust check, so the precise access-control mechanism remains undisclosed. Exploitation requires a low-privileged account with logon access to the infrastructure running PeopleTools, and Oracle reports confidentiality and integrity impact with scope change but no availability loss.
