AI Summary Analysis

Risk verdict

High risk: a network-accessible vulnerability that requires high-privilege credentials and user interaction; could lead to takeover of the BI Enterprise Edition.

Why this matters

Compromise of the Analytics Web Administration component can enable full control over Oracle BI EE and potentially affect connected Oracle Analytics products. With scope changes possible, attacker access may extend to related services and data assets, amplifying impact across BI dashboards, data sources, and reporting workflows.

Most likely attack path

An attacker gains or misuses a high-privilege admin account and induces user interaction to trigger the flaw via HTTP. Exploitation could then escalate to system takeover, given the high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts and changed scope enabling access to additional components or products.

Who is most exposed

Organizations running on-prem Oracle BI EE (versions 7.6 or 8.2) with web-accessible admin consoles are most exposed, especially where admin interfaces are reachable from less-trusted networks or poorly segmented environments.

Detection ideas

  • Unusual admin logins or access to the Analytics Web Administration panel.
  • Privilege-escale or creation/modification of admin users shortly after authentication.
  • Abnormal HTTP requests targeting admin endpoints or config-change actions.
  • Sudden dashboard/content changes or data source reconfigurations outside normal change windows.
  • Repeated authentication failures from admin accounts followed by successful access.

Mitigation and prioritisation

  • Apply the Oracle advisory patches for affected versions (7.6.0.0.0 and 8.2.0.0.0) in a controlled window.
  • Restrict admin-interface exposure with network controls, VPN, IP allowlists, and WAF rules.
  • Enforce MFA for all admin accounts and strengthen credential hygiene (rotations, least privilege).
  • Implement heightened monitoring on Analytics Web Administration activity and privileged role use.
  • Coordinate change management with testing and rollback plans; communicate patch timelines to stakeholders.
