# Oracle EBS RCE flaw exploited in wild

Published: 2026-06-09 · Severity: critical

> CVE-2025-61882, a remote code execution vulnerability in Oracle E-Business Suite versions 12.2.3-12.2.14, is being actively exploited to compromise Oracle Concurrent Processing.

Oracle E-Business Suite contains a critical remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2025-61882) affecting versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.14. The flaw allows unauthenticated attackers with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Concurrent Processing, resulting in complete system takeover. Oracle has confirmed active exploitation in the wild.

Successful exploitation enables attackers to execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected component, allowing them to install malware, manipulate or exfiltrate data, and establish persistent access through new privileged accounts. The vulnerability requires no authentication and can be exploited remotely over HTTP, making it highly accessible to threat actors.

Immediate patching is critical for all organizations running affected Oracle EBS versions. The MS-ISAC recommends implementing compensating controls including network segmentation, vulnerability scanning, and exploit protection features while patches are being tested and deployed.

## Detection guidance (public sample)

### Suspicious Child Process from Oracle EBS/Java Web Application Process

ATT&CK: T1190

Detects command/script interpreter processes spawned by Java or Oracle EBS concurrent processing components, consistent with post-exploitation of CVE-2025-61882 RCE. Auto-generated starting point — validate and tune in your environment before deploying. IOC matches can false-positive on shared infrastructure and decay as adversary infrastructure rotates.

```yaml
title: Suspicious Child Process from Oracle EBS/Java Web Application Process
id: ef600756-63be-508a-b496-f3e790207136
status: experimental
description: Detects cmd.exe, powershell.exe, sh, or bash spawned directly from java.exe
  or Oracle EBS/Concurrent Processing related processes, indicating possible exploitation

### Web Server Process Spawning Shell on Linux Host Running Oracle EBS

ATT&CK: T1190

Detects shell or interpreter processes spawned by Java/WebLogic processes typical of Oracle E-Business Suite application tier, indicative of exploitation of an unauthenticated RCE. Auto-generated starting point — validate and tune in your environment before deploying. IOC matches can false-positive on shared infrastructure and decay as adversary infrastructure rotates.

```yaml

status: experimental
description: Detects shell interpreters (sh, bash, python, perl) spawned as children

### New Privileged Local Account Creation Following Web Application Exploitation

ATT&CK: T1190

Detects creation of a new local user account shortly after suspicious activity from a web/application server process, consistent with post-exploitation persistence following Oracle EBS RCE. Auto-generated starting point — validate and tune in your environment before deploying. IOC matches can false-positive on shared infrastructure and decay as adversary infrastructure rotates.

```yaml
title: New Privileged Local Account Creation Following Web Application Exploitation
id: e346d247-e73e-517c-b276-318841f9e0f0
status: experimental
description: Detects use of net.exe or useradd/usermod commands to create or elevate
  a local account, spawned from a Java or web application server process context,
  which may indicate persistence established after exploiting an unauthenticated RCE
  such as CVE-2025-61882.
