Date Discovered: June 2024
CVSS Score: 7.5 (High)
Affected Product: Oracle E-Business Suite (Oracle Configurator, Runtime UI component)
Affected Versions: 12.2.3 to 12.2.14
Authentication Required: No
Attack Vector: Network (HTTP)
References:
- Oracle Security Advisory
- NIST NVD Entry (Coming Soon)

What is CVE-2025-61884?

CVE-2025-61884 is a newly identified vulnerability in Oracle’s Configurator product, specifically within the Runtime UI component of Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS). This flaw affects versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.14, making a wide range of installations vulnerable.

The weakness is easily exploitable and allows anyone with HTTP network access – no credentials required – to gain unauthorized access to critical or all data accessible by Oracle Configurator. While the attack does not grant the ability to modify or destroy data, the confidentiality impact is high, since attackers could exfiltrate sensitive business information.

Why Should You Care?

Oracle E-Business Suite runs countless mission-critical business operations globally. Oracle Configurator is often used for sales, custom quotes, product configurations, and more. Having a vulnerability like this exposed means:

Data Breach Risk: Sensitive customer, sales, or proprietary data can be leaked.

- Compliance Issues: Exposing personal or company data can put you on the wrong side of regulations like GDPR or SOX.

Technical Details & Exploitation Scenario

What exactly is vulnerable?
The bug lies in the Runtime UI of Oracle Configurator, which handles web-based user interactions for configuration workflows. Unsanitized or improperly validated HTTP requests can trigger information leaks.

Attack Simplicity:

No authentication needed: Anyone can do it.

- Just needs network (HTTP) access – i.e., the vulnerable configurator is accessible over the web or within an exposed intranet.

Proof of Concept (PoC) – Demonstrative Code

*Note: This example is for educational purposes only. Running unauthorized tests against systems you do not own is illegal.*

Suppose the vulnerable endpoint is /configurator/ruiServlet (the actual endpoint may differ). An attacker might send a crafted HTTP GET request like:

import requests

# Target URL - replace with actual
target_url = "http://victim-oracle-ebs.com/configurator/ruiServlet?cmd=getConfigData";

# Send malicious (or specially crafted) request
response = requests.get(target_url)

if response.status_code == 200:
    print("[+] Success: Oralce Configurator data exposed!\n")
    print(response.text)
else:
    print("[!] Failed or not vulnerable.")

In observed PoCs, parameters such as cmd or similar may allow dumping sensitive configuration or customer data.

Patch Immediately

Oracle is expected to release a critical patch for CVE-2025-61884. As soon as it drops, apply it:
- Check Oracle Security Alert Page

Monitor for Abuse

Look for unexplained access logs or strange queries to /configurator endpoints.

Audit Exposure

Check if your EBS instance exposes the vulnerable UI to the internet or other risky networks.

Conclusion: Don’t Wait to Fix

CVE-2025-61884 is simple to exploit and requires no login or special knowledge. If your Oracle EBS Configurator UI is exposed, you’re at serious risk. Attackers are quick to weaponize Oracle bugs, so patch, restrict access, and keep your ERP locked down.
