CVE-2026-21979 — Vulnerability in the Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud Service product of Oracle…

Vulnerability in the Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud Service product of Oracle Hyperion (component: EPM Agent). The supported version that is affected is 25.04.07. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows high privileged attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud Service executes to compromise Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud Service. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud Service accessible data. Note: Update EPM Agent.

Who exploits it and how urgent it is

A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.

No exploitation signal in the sources consulted so far.
How the score was calculated
  • EPSS 0.1% (30-day exploitation probability)+0
  • Technical severity (medium)+3

The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).

Triage

Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.

Remediation

Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.

No fix documented by the sources we poll. That does not mean none exists: check the vendor advisory.

First 24 hours

Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.

  1. Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (Oracle Planning And Budgeting Cloud Service).
  2. No fix documented in the sources: reduce exposure and monitor the vendor advisory.
  3. Exploitation requires user interaction: tighten email/web filtering and warn affected users.
  4. Search available logs for exploit probes, errors and authentication anomalies.
