Authenticated payroll data read and modification
Published Jul 21, 2026 · Updated Jul 21, 2026
Improper access control in Oracle HRMS for New Zealand 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 allows remote authenticated users to read and modify payroll data. Oracle identifies New Zealand Payroll as the affected component but has not disclosed the request, authorization check, or code path that mishandles access. A low-privileged account and network access over HTTP are required; exploitation reads a subset of accessible data and updates, inserts, or deletes some accessible records.
