CVE-2025-53056 is a vulnerability in Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools, specifically within the Object and Environment Tech component, affecting versions 9.2.0.0 through 9.2.9.4. The flaw allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access over HTTP to compromise the system by exploiting improper authorization controls (CWE-285). The attacker can perform unauthorized operations such as updating, inserting, or deleting accessible data, as well as reading a subset of data. Exploitation requires user interaction from a third party, indicating a social engineering or phishing component is necessary to trigger the attack. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 score of 6.1, reflecting network attack vector (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), but requiring user interaction (UI:R). The scope is changed (S:C), meaning the impact extends beyond the vulnerable component to other integrated products. While no known exploits are reported in the wild, the vulnerability's ease of exploitation and potential for data manipulation pose significant risks. The vulnerability affects critical enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems widely used in large organizations, potentially impacting business operations and data integrity. The lack of available patches at the time of publication necessitates immediate mitigation strategies to reduce exposure.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a risk to the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive business data managed within JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools. Unauthorized data modification could disrupt business processes, financial reporting, and supply chain management. The requirement for user interaction implies that social engineering attacks could be leveraged, increasing the risk of successful exploitation in environments with less mature security awareness. The scope change indicates that the impact could extend to other integrated Oracle products, amplifying potential damage. Organizations in sectors such as manufacturing, finance, logistics, and government, which commonly deploy Oracle ERP solutions, may face operational disruptions and regulatory compliance issues if exploited. The medium severity score suggests a moderate but non-negligible threat, especially given the critical nature of ERP systems in enterprise environments.

1. Immediately restrict network access to JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools HTTP interfaces using firewalls, VPNs, or network segmentation to limit exposure to untrusted networks. 2. Implement strict user awareness training focused on recognizing and preventing social engineering attacks, as exploitation requires user interaction. 3. Monitor logs and network traffic for unusual access patterns or unauthorized data modification attempts within JD Edwards environments. 4. Apply Oracle patches promptly once released; maintain close communication with Oracle support for updates. 5. Employ multi-factor authentication and least privilege principles for all users interacting with JD Edwards systems to reduce risk from compromised credentials. 6. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration tests targeting JD Edwards deployments to identify and remediate potential weaknesses. 7. Use web application firewalls (WAFs) to detect and block suspicious HTTP requests targeting JD Edwards interfaces. 8. Develop and test incident response plans specific to ERP system compromises to ensure rapid containment and recovery.
