Affected Systems

Oracle Corporation’s Oracle Commerce Guided Search and Oracle Commerce Experience Manager, version 11.4.0, are vulnerable as stated by the security alert.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.0 (AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) shows that the attack requires a local presence and low privilege but offers high impact. Because the attack is local and requires an existing login, it is most dangerous when low‑privileged accounts can interact with the application’s file system or processes. The EPSS score of <1% suggests that exploitation is currently rare, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Nonetheless, the potential for complete takeover warrants immediate attention.
