CVE-2025-53058 is a vulnerability in Oracle Applications Manager, a component of Oracle E-Business Suite, specifically within the Application Logging Interfaces. It affects supported versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.14. The flaw allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise the Oracle Applications Manager by exploiting improper access control (CWE-284). The attacker can gain unauthorized capabilities to update, insert, or delete certain data accessible through Oracle Applications Manager, as well as read unauthorized subsets of data. The attack requires human interaction from a user other than the attacker, indicating a social engineering vector or tricking a legitimate user into performing an action that enables exploitation. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.1, reflecting a medium severity with low attack complexity, no privileges required, but user interaction needed. The scope is changed, meaning the impact extends beyond Oracle Applications Manager to other Oracle products integrated or dependent on it. Although no exploits are currently known in the wild, the vulnerability poses a significant risk due to the critical nature of Oracle E-Business Suite in enterprise environments. The lack of available patches at the time of publication necessitates immediate attention to alternative mitigation strategies.

For European organizations, this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized modification and disclosure of sensitive business data managed via Oracle Applications Manager. Given Oracle E-Business Suite's widespread use in finance, manufacturing, and public sectors across Europe, exploitation could disrupt critical business processes, compromise data integrity, and lead to regulatory compliance issues under GDPR due to unauthorized data access. The requirement for user interaction suggests phishing or 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 cascade to other Oracle products, potentially amplifying damage across interconnected systems. This could result in operational disruptions, financial losses, and reputational damage for affected organizations. The absence of known exploits currently provides a window for proactive defense, but the medium severity score underscores the need for vigilance.

1. Immediately review and restrict network access to Oracle Applications Manager interfaces, limiting exposure to trusted internal networks only. 2. Implement strict web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block suspicious HTTP requests targeting Oracle Applications Manager endpoints. 3. Enhance user awareness training focused on phishing and social engineering to reduce the likelihood of required user interaction enabling exploitation. 4. Monitor Oracle Applications Manager logs for unusual update, insert, or delete operations and unauthorized read access patterns. 5. Apply principle of least privilege to Oracle Applications Manager users and service accounts to minimize potential damage. 6. Segregate Oracle Applications Manager from other critical Oracle products where feasible to contain scope change impact. 7. Stay alert for Oracle's official patches or updates and plan rapid deployment once available. 8. Conduct regular vulnerability scanning and penetration testing focused on Oracle E-Business Suite components to identify and remediate exposure. 9. Employ multi-factor authentication (MFA) for administrative access to Oracle Applications Manager to add an additional security layer. 10. Establish incident response procedures tailored to Oracle E-Business Suite compromise scenarios.
