{"id":"CVE-2026-101709","kind":"vulnerability","aliases":["CVE-2026-101709"],"related":[],"title":"Oracle E-Business Suite Payroll: low-privilege users can read and change some payroll data","description":"Vulnerability in the Oracle Payroll product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: Internal Operations).  Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.3-12.2.15. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Payroll.

Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in  unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle Payroll accessible data as well as  unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle Payroll accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 5.4 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts).  CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N).","summary":"Oracle Payroll in E-Business Suite 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 has a flaw in the Internal Operations component that lets a low-privileged user reached over HTTP read and modify some payroll data.
