CVE-2025-61884 is a vulnerability identified in the Oracle Configurator component of Oracle E-Business Suite, specifically affecting versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.14. The vulnerability resides in the Runtime UI component and is classified under multiple CWEs including CWE-918 (Server-Side Request Forgery), CWE-22 (Path Traversal), CWE-93 (Improper Neutralization of CRLF Sequences), CWE-444 (Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests), CWE-287 (Improper Authentication), and CWE-501 (Trust Boundary Violation). This combination suggests that the vulnerability allows an attacker to craft specially formed HTTP requests that bypass authentication mechanisms and access sensitive configuration data. The attack vector is network-based via HTTP, requiring no privileges or user interaction, making it easily exploitable remotely. Successful exploitation results in unauthorized disclosure of critical data managed by Oracle Configurator, potentially exposing sensitive business logic, configuration parameters, or intellectual property. The CVSS 3.1 score of 7.5 reflects a high impact on confidentiality with no impact on integrity or availability. Although no exploits have been reported in the wild yet, the vulnerability's characteristics make it a significant risk for organizations relying on Oracle Configurator for their business processes. The lack of an available patch at the time of publication necessitates immediate mitigation efforts to reduce exposure.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-61884 can be substantial, especially for those in sectors heavily reliant on Oracle E-Business Suite and Oracle Configurator for critical business operations such as manufacturing, telecommunications, and finance. Unauthorized access to configuration data can lead to exposure of sensitive business rules, pricing models, or product configurations, potentially resulting in competitive disadvantage, regulatory non-compliance (e.g., GDPR breaches due to exposure of personal data embedded in configurations), and loss of customer trust. The vulnerability's ease of exploitation and unauthenticated nature increase the likelihood of targeted attacks or opportunistic scanning by threat actors. This can also facilitate lateral movement within corporate networks if attackers leverage the exposed data to escalate privileges or pivot to other systems. The confidentiality breach could have cascading effects on supply chain security and contractual obligations, particularly for multinational corporations operating across European borders.

Given the absence of an official patch at the time of disclosure, European organizations should implement immediate compensating controls. These include restricting network access to Oracle Configurator interfaces by implementing strict firewall rules and network segmentation to limit HTTP access only to trusted internal users and systems. Deploy Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious HTTP requests indicative of exploitation attempts, especially those resembling SSRF or path traversal attacks. Conduct thorough logging and monitoring of Oracle Configurator access logs to identify anomalous patterns or unauthorized access attempts. Review and harden authentication and authorization configurations within Oracle E-Business Suite to minimize exposure. Engage with Oracle support for any available interim fixes or workarounds and plan for rapid deployment of official patches once released. Additionally, perform regular vulnerability assessments and penetration testing focused on Oracle Configurator to validate the effectiveness of mitigations.
