Oracle released its October 2026 Critical Patch Update with 1,295 security updates addressing 1,209 unique CVEs across 33 product families, including 112 critical patches covering 95 CVEs. Fusion Middleware received 206 patches and E-Business Suite received 194, with both product families containing vulnerabilities exploitable remotely without authentication. The release also includes 109 PeopleSoft fixes, 124 Oracle Communications fixes, 33 Oracle Analytics fixes and 13 Database patches.
A priority fix is CVE-2026-101767, a CVSS 9.8 unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability in E-Business Suite’s Thin Client Framework servlet affecting Oracle Application Object Library versions 12.2.3–12.2.15. Horizon3.ai reported that attackers with HTTP or HTTPS access to /OA_HTML/AppsTCFServer can execute SQL as the APPS database user and chain the flaw to run operating system commands as the EBS application account. Uganda’s National CERT separately warned of renewed PeopleSoft mass-exploitation attempts linked to ShinyHunters actors, following reported zero-day exploitation earlier in 2026. Organizations should prioritize patches for internet-facing EBS and PeopleSoft deployments and systems holding sensitive data. Pending EBS patching, restrict web-tier access, remove the affected servlet from the EBS URL firewall allowlist and monitor application and database activity; these measures do not replace the fix.
