CVE-2025-61758 is a vulnerability identified in Oracle's PeopleSoft Enterprise FIN IT Asset Management product, specifically affecting version 9.2. The flaw arises from insufficient access control (CWE-284), allowing an attacker with low privileges and network access via HTTP to bypass restrictions and access critical data. The vulnerability does not require user interaction and can be exploited remotely over the network, making it relatively easy to exploit. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) indicates that the attacker needs low privileges but no user interaction, with a high impact on confidentiality but no impact on integrity or availability. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive financial and IT asset management data stored or processed by PeopleSoft FIN IT Asset Management, potentially exposing business-critical information. Although no public exploits have been reported yet, the ease of exploitation and the sensitive nature of the data involved make this a significant concern for organizations relying on this software. The vulnerability is currently published without an available patch, so organizations must implement interim mitigations.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-61758 could be substantial, especially for those in finance, government, and large enterprises that use Oracle PeopleSoft FIN IT Asset Management 9.2 to manage critical IT assets and financial data. Unauthorized access to sensitive data could lead to data breaches, regulatory non-compliance (e.g., GDPR violations), reputational damage, and potential financial losses. Since the vulnerability allows data exposure without affecting system integrity or availability, attackers might silently exfiltrate sensitive information without detection. This risk is heightened in sectors with stringent data protection requirements. Additionally, the medium severity score may underestimate the real-world impact if exploited in environments with highly sensitive data. The lack of known exploits currently provides a window for proactive defense, but organizations should not delay remediation efforts.

1. Restrict network access to PeopleSoft FIN IT Asset Management interfaces to trusted internal networks or VPNs, minimizing exposure to untrusted networks. 2. Monitor network traffic and application logs for unusual access patterns or unauthorized data queries indicative of exploitation attempts. 3. Implement strict role-based access controls within PeopleSoft to limit privileges to the minimum necessary, reducing the impact of compromised low-privilege accounts. 4. Apply Oracle security patches promptly once released for this vulnerability. 5. Use web application firewalls (WAFs) to detect and block suspicious HTTP requests targeting PeopleSoft endpoints. 6. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration tests focused on PeopleSoft applications to identify and remediate access control weaknesses. 7. Educate IT and security teams about this vulnerability to ensure rapid response and mitigation. 8. Consider network segmentation to isolate PeopleSoft systems from broader enterprise networks.
