CVE-2025-53043 is a vulnerability identified in Oracle Product Hub, a component of the Oracle E-Business Suite, specifically affecting versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.14. The flaw allows a low-privileged attacker with network access over HTTP to compromise the system without requiring user interaction. The vulnerability enables unauthorized creation, deletion, or modification of critical data within Oracle Product Hub, potentially exposing or altering all accessible data. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.1 reflects high impact on confidentiality and integrity, with no impact on availability. The attack vector is network-based (AV:N), with low attack complexity (AC:L), requiring low privileges (PR:L), and no user interaction (UI:N). The vulnerability is categorized under CWE-200, indicating exposure of sensitive information. Although no exploits are currently known in the wild, the ease of exploitation and the critical nature of the data managed by Oracle Product Hub make this a significant threat. Oracle Product Hub is widely used for managing product information in supply chain and manufacturing environments, making the integrity and confidentiality of its data crucial for business operations. The vulnerability could allow attackers to manipulate product data, potentially disrupting business processes, causing financial loss, or enabling further attacks within the enterprise environment.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality and integrity of critical product data managed within Oracle Product Hub. Unauthorized data manipulation could disrupt supply chain operations, manufacturing processes, and product lifecycle management, leading to operational downtime, financial losses, and reputational damage. Organizations in sectors such as manufacturing, retail, and logistics, which heavily rely on Oracle E-Business Suite for product data management, are particularly vulnerable. The ability of an attacker to operate with low privileges and remotely via HTTP increases the attack surface, especially for organizations with exposed or poorly segmented networks. Given the criticality of product data, unauthorized modifications could also lead to compliance violations under regulations such as GDPR if personal or sensitive data is involved. The lack of impact on availability reduces the likelihood of service outages but does not diminish the severity of data compromise. The absence of known exploits in the wild provides a window for proactive defense, but the high CVSS score underscores the urgency of mitigation.

1. Apply patches and updates from Oracle as soon as they become available to address CVE-2025-53043. 2. Restrict network access to Oracle Product Hub interfaces by implementing strict firewall rules and network segmentation to limit exposure to only trusted internal networks. 3. Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) to detect and block suspicious HTTP requests targeting Oracle Product Hub. 4. Monitor logs and network traffic for unusual activity indicative of exploitation attempts, such as unauthorized data modification or access patterns. 5. Enforce the principle of least privilege for all users and service accounts interacting with Oracle Product Hub to minimize potential attack vectors. 6. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on Oracle E-Business Suite components to identify and remediate vulnerabilities. 7. Implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) for administrative access to Oracle Product Hub to reduce the risk of credential compromise. 8. Educate IT and security teams about this vulnerability to ensure rapid detection and response. 9. Develop and test incident response plans specific to Oracle Product Hub compromise scenarios.
