CVE-2026-70690Network attack vector

High-privilege takeover over HTTP

Published Aug 18, 2026 · Updated Aug 18, 2026

Authentication-required flaw in Oracle HRMS (US) 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 allows remote authenticated users to take over the application over HTTP. Oracle has not published the vulnerable function, request path, or unsafe operation in the US Payroll - General component, and NVD still marks the record as awaiting enrichment with no weakness data. Exploitation requires high privileges in the application and network reachability to the HTTP service, and Oracle rates the result as changed-scope compromise with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact.
