Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: High: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide significant (e.g., administrative) control over the vulnerable component that could affect component-wide settings and files.
User Interaction: Required: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires a user to take some action before the vulnerability can be exploited.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the impacted component.
Integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact on the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 15 Jul 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Restrict and monitor the assignment of the Create User privilege strictly to trusted administrators and enforce the principle of least privilege.
Implement robust network segmentation and access controls to limit Oracle Net access only to authorized hosts and users.
Enhance user awareness training to reduce the risk of social engineering attacks that could facilitate the required human interaction for exploitation.
Enable and regularly review audit logs for unusual activities related to user creation and modifications within the database.
Apply Oracle's security best practices for database hardening, including using Oracle Database Vault or similar tools to enforce separation of duties.
Monitor Oracle security advisories closely for patches addressing this vulnerability and plan timely deployment once available.
Employ multi-factor authentication for privileged database accounts to reduce the risk of credential misuse.
Consider implementing real-time alerting mechanisms for changes in audit configurations or unexpected modifications to audit data. These steps go beyond generic advice by focusing on privilege management, network access control, user interaction risk reduction, and proactive monitoring tailored to the specific conditions of this vulnerability.

Description

Vulnerability in the Unified Audit component of Oracle Database Server. Supported versions that are affected are 19.3-19.27, 21.3-21.18 and 23.4-23.8. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows high privileged attacker having Create User privilege with network access via Oracle Net to compromise Unified Audit. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Unified Audit accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 2.4 (Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N).

Impact

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-30750 centers on the integrity of audit data within Oracle Database environments. Unified Audit logs are essential for compliance with regulations such as GDPR, NIS Directive, and sector-specific standards like PCI-DSS and HIPAA equivalents. Unauthorized modification of audit data could lead to failure in detecting malicious activities, complicate incident response, and result in non-compliance penalties. Although the vulnerability does not directly expose sensitive data or disrupt availability, the ability to alter audit records can facilitate prolonged undetected intrusions or insider threats. Organizations relying heavily on Oracle Database for critical applications, especially in finance, healthcare, and government sectors, may face increased risk of audit tampering. The requirement for high privileges and user interaction limits the attack surface but does not eliminate risk, particularly in environments where privileged user accounts are shared or insufficiently monitored. The absence of known exploits reduces immediate threat but underscores the need for proactive mitigation to prevent future exploitation.

CWE-863Incorrect Authorization (opens in a new tab)
Class weaknessLikelihood of exploit: HighCWE Top 25 (2025): #17OWASP Top 10 A01:2025: Broken Access Control (opens in a new tab)
The product performs an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action, but it does not correctly perform the check.
Architecture and Design
Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries.
Architecture and Design
Ensure that access control checks are performed related to the business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that are applied to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records.
Architecture and Design · Libraries or Frameworks
Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
