AI Analysis

Impact

The flaw in the Administer Workforce component of Oracle PeopleSoft Enterprise HCM Human Resources exposes a weakness that allows a high‑privilege attacker with HTTP network access to create, delete or modify critical data; it can also read privileged information and cause the application to hang or repeatedly crash. The CVE identifies this as a CWE‑200 information‑disclosure issue but the description makes it clear that the impact extends beyond simple disclosure to active data manipulation and availability denial. The vulnerability requires a human interaction from an user other than the attacker, meaning the attacker cannot complete the exploit unaided but can seize control once a legitimate user engages.

Affected Systems

Oracle PeopleSoft Enterprise HCM Human Resources version 9.2, specifically the Administer Workforce module, is the only version reported as affected by the CNA. The product runs on HTTP services exposed to the network and no other versions are noted in the advisory.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.0 indicates a moderate severity flaw. EPSS is reported as <1 %, suggesting a very low exploitation probability, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. Successful exploitation demands network HTTP access, elevated credentials, and the cooperation of a user willing to perform a seemingly benign action. If these conditions are met, the attacker can compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the PeopleSoft system.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the official Oracle patch or upgrade to a fixed version of PeopleSoft Enterprise HCM Human Resources as soon as it becomes available.
  • Restrict external HTTP access to the Administer Workforce endpoint using firewalls, VPNs, or IP whitelisting, ensuring only trusted internal systems can reach it.
  • Enforce strict role‑based access controls and segregate administrative sessions from business user sessions to reduce the chance that an attacker can co‑operate with a legitimate user to trigger the vulnerability.
  • Monitor administrative activity for anomalous create, delete, or modify events and configure alerts to detect potential exploitation attempts.
