Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: High: There is total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 20 Jan 2026
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

1. Immediately apply any available patches or security updates from Oracle for Agile PLM version 9.3.6. If patches are not yet available, implement vendor-recommended workarounds or configuration changes to restrict access to the affected components. 2. Restrict network access to Oracle Agile PLM servers by implementing strict firewall rules and network segmentation to limit HTTP access only to trusted internal users and systems. 3. Employ strong authentication and authorization controls around Oracle Agile PLM interfaces, even if the vulnerability itself does not require authentication, to reduce attack surface. 4. Monitor network traffic and logs for unusual HTTP requests or access patterns targeting Oracle Agile PLM endpoints. 5. Conduct a thorough inventory of Oracle Agile PLM deployments and ensure all instances are upgraded or mitigated promptly. 6. Educate IT and security teams about the vulnerability and the importance of rapid response to reduce exposure time. 7. Consider deploying web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block exploitation attempts targeting this vulnerability.

Description

Vulnerability in the Oracle Agile PLM product of Oracle Supply Chain (component: User and User Group). The supported version that is affected is 9.3.6. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Agile PLM. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle Agile PLM accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 7.5 (Confidentiality impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N).

Impact

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2026-21940 could be substantial, especially for those in manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, and other industries heavily reliant on Oracle Agile PLM for supply chain and product lifecycle management. Unauthorized access to critical data could lead to intellectual property theft, exposure of confidential supplier and customer information, and disruption of supply chain confidentiality. This could result in financial losses, reputational damage, and regulatory compliance issues under GDPR due to unauthorized data exposure. The vulnerability does not affect integrity or availability directly, so operational disruption may be limited, but the confidentiality breach alone poses a high risk. Organizations with interconnected supply chains and partners using Oracle Agile PLM may face cascading risks if attackers leverage this vulnerability to access broader networks.

Class weaknessLikelihood of exploit: HighCWE Top 25 (2025): #20OWASP Top 10 A01:2025: Broken Access Control (opens in a new tab)
The product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information.
MITRE discourages mapping vulnerabilities to this broad entry; the root cause is usually a more specific weakness.
Architecture and Design · Separation of Privilege
Compartmentalize the system to have "safe" areas where trust boundaries can be unambiguously drawn. Do not allow sensitive data to go outside of the trust boundary and always be careful when interfacing with a compartment outside of the safe area.
