This vulnerability affects Oracle Work in Process versions 12.2.3 to 12.2.15. It permits a low privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise the product, resulting in unauthorized ability to cause a hang or repeated crash (complete denial of service) and unauthorized modification (update, insert, delete) of some accessible data. The CVSS 3.1 vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:H, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, low privilege required, no user interaction, unchanged scope, no confidentiality impact, limited integrity impact, and high availability impact. Oracle’s August 2026 Critical Security Patch Update addresses this vulnerability.
