CVE-2025-53056 is a vulnerability identified in Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools, specifically affecting versions 9.2.0.0 through 9.2.9.4. The flaw resides in the Object and Environment Tech component and allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access over HTTP to compromise the system. The attack vector requires no privileges but does require user interaction from a third party, such as clicking a malicious link or opening a crafted file, enabling the attacker to bypass authentication controls. The vulnerability leads to unauthorized read access to some data and unauthorized update, insert, or delete operations on accessible data within JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools. Due to a scope change, the impact may extend to other integrated Oracle products, potentially amplifying the damage. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N) indicates a network-based attack with low complexity, no privileges, but requiring user interaction and causing a change in security scope. The confidentiality and integrity of data are compromised, but availability remains unaffected. No patches or exploits are currently publicly available, but the vulnerability is easily exploitable, emphasizing the need for proactive defense. The vulnerability's reliance on user interaction suggests social engineering or phishing as likely exploitation methods.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality and integrity of data managed by JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools, which is widely used in enterprise resource planning (ERP) across industries such as manufacturing, finance, and supply chain management. Unauthorized data manipulation could lead to financial discrepancies, operational disruptions, and regulatory compliance violations under GDPR due to unauthorized data access and modification. The scope change implies that other Oracle products integrated with JD Edwards could also be compromised, potentially affecting broader IT environments. Attackers exploiting this vulnerability could manipulate critical business data, leading to incorrect business decisions or fraud. The requirement for user interaction increases the risk of targeted phishing campaigns within organizations. Given the critical role of ERP systems in European enterprises, successful exploitation could disrupt business continuity and damage reputations. The lack of known exploits in the wild currently provides a window for mitigation before widespread attacks occur.

1. Apply Oracle's security patches immediately once they become available for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools versions 9.2.0.0 through 9.2.9.4. 2. Implement strict network segmentation to restrict HTTP access to JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools only to trusted internal networks and users. 3. Deploy web application firewalls (WAF) with rules tailored to detect and block suspicious HTTP requests targeting JD Edwards endpoints. 4. Conduct targeted user awareness training focusing on phishing and social engineering risks, emphasizing the need to avoid interacting with unsolicited or suspicious links and attachments. 5. Monitor logs and network traffic for unusual activities related to JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools, such as unexpected data modification or access patterns. 6. Enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all users accessing JD Edwards systems to reduce the risk of unauthorized access even if user interaction is exploited. 7. Review and minimize user privileges within JD Edwards to limit the potential impact of unauthorized data manipulation. 8. Prepare incident response plans specific to JD Edwards compromise scenarios to enable rapid containment and remediation.
