HarborGuard Analysis
Synopsis
An unauthenticated integrity-bypass vulnerability exists in the REST WebServices component of Oracle Identity Manager (versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0). The flaw is reachable over HTTP from any network location and requires no credentials or victim interaction to trigger. Successful exploitation gives an attacker full ability to create, delete, or modify any data that Identity Manager can access, including critical identity and access records. No fix version has been published yet; HarborGuard is tracking the advisory for patch availability.
HarborGuard Coverage
Detection capability for CVE-2026-35269 is available across all HarborGuard environments, with the CVE matched against customer images within minutes of publication from upstream Oracle and NVD feeds. Matching runs against all images in connected registries and CI/CD pipelines, including custom-built images that package Identity Manager components.
AvailableHarborGuard scores this CVE at 7.5 HIGH using the published CVSS v3.1 vector and weights findings against each customer organization's configured compliance policy. Alerts are routed to the appropriate team inbox within each organization based on image ownership and policy thresholds.
AvailableBecause no upstream fix has been published, HarborGuard re-checks the Oracle advisory on every ingest cycle and will make a patched-image rebuild available the moment a fix version is released. In the interim, compensating controls such as network-policy isolation and egress filtering can be applied where supported by customer environment configuration.
Pending upstreamExploit Conditions
- Network reachabilityRequired
The attacker must reach the Identity Manager REST WebServices endpoint over the network via HTTP; no local access or physical proximity is needed.
- AuthenticationNot required
No credentials of any privilege level are required; the vulnerable endpoint is accessible to unauthenticated requests.
- Victim interactionNot required
The attack is fully server-side and completes without any action from a logged-in user or administrator.
- Attack complexityDetail
Exploit conditions are straightforward and reliable, with no race conditions or environmental dependencies required to succeed.
Blast Radius
- Attacker creates new identity records or administrative accounts inside Identity Manager, enabling persistent unauthorized access.
- Attacker modifies existing user roles, entitlements, or access policies across any resource Identity Manager governs.
- Attacker deletes identity or access records, disrupting provisioning workflows and audit trails.
- All data accessible to Identity Manager is in scope for tampering, not just a subset of records.
How HarborGuard Handles This
Available on HarborGuard: detection for CVE-2026-35269 is active across connected environments, with images flagged at 7.5 HIGH severity as soon as they are scanned. Because Oracle has not yet released a fix for affected versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0, no patched-image rebuild is currently available. HarborGuard re-evaluates the advisory on every ingest cycle and will surface a rebuild and, for customers with auto-remediation enabled, open a patch PR automatically the moment Oracle publishes a fix. In the meantime, customers are advised to consider network-policy controls that restrict HTTP access to Identity Manager REST endpoints to trusted source ranges only, and to review egress filtering rules to limit the blast radius if the service is compromised.
