Oracle EBS Payments CVE-2026-46817: Exploited Takeover
If you run Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2 without the May 2026 Critical Security Patch Update, patch now; this is an unauthenticated, low-complexity takeover of the payments module and it has been exploited since late June.
Must act: Every organization running Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2.3 through 12.2.15, most urgently where any EBS web tier is reachable from the internet or from partner networks.
Can relax: Organizations that do not run Oracle E-Business Suite, and EBS 12.2 customers who already applied the May 2026 CSPU patches for Oracle Payments.
- List every EBS 12.2 environment, including test and clones that share production data, and confirm whether the May 2026 CSPU EBS patches are applied.
- Apply the EBS patches from the May 2026 CSPU (My Oracle Support Note KA923), plus the Database and Fusion Middleware patches Oracle recommends for the EBS tech stack.
- Until patched, take the EBS web tier off the internet or put it behind a VPN, and deny external requests to /OA_HTML/ibytransmit.
