Oracle E-Business Suite Configurator SSRF (CVE-2025-61884)

Historical catalog analysis: CISA added this entry on October 20, 2025. The entry reflects catalog information retrieved on August 31, 2026, not a snapshot archived on the inclusion date. Check current vendor guidance before acting.

What the vulnerability is

CVE-2025-61884 is a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability identified within the Runtime component of Oracle Configurator, a part of the Oracle E-Business Suite. This flaw allows a remote attacker to induce the server to make requests to unintended destinations without requiring authentication. According to CISA, this vulnerability has been observed in use by ransomware campaigns.

Exposure and applicability

The vulnerability specifically affects organizations deploying the Oracle E-Business Suite that utilize the Oracle Configurator Runtime component. Because the exploit is unauthenticated and remotely executable, any instance of the affected component exposed to untrusted networks—or accessible via a compromised internal pivot point—is at risk. Infrastructure owners should prioritize identifying whether this specific component is active within their environment.

Remediation priorities

Based on the reported exploitation by ransomware actors, we analyze the following prioritization for remediation:

  1. Immediate Mitigation Deployment: Organizations should apply the mitigations provided in the vendor’s security instructions. This is the primary method to reduce the immediate risk of remote exploitation.
  2. Cloud Service Alignment: For those utilizing cloud-hosted versions of E-Business Suite, alignment with BOD 22-01 guidance is necessary to ensure service providers have addressed the exposure.
  3. Component Decommissioning: In scenarios where vendor mitigations cannot be applied or are unavailable for a specific legacy version, the source suggests discontinuing use of the product as a risk reduction measure.

How to validate remediation

Verification must move beyond simple version checks, as a deployed patch does not always guarantee that the vulnerability is neutralized in a complex environment. We recommend the following validation approach:

  • Configuration Audit: Confirm that the specific mitigations outlined by Oracle are active and correctly configured across all instances of the Configurator Runtime.
  • Network Egress Analysis: Monitor for unexpected outbound requests originating from the E-Business Suite application servers to internal or external targets, which could indicate either a failed mitigation or an ongoing attempt at exploitation.
  • Authorized Testing: Use authorized security validation tools to attempt to trigger the SSRF behavior in a non-production environment after the fix is applied to confirm the request forgery path is closed.

Limits and open questions

While vendor mitigations reduce the likelihood of exploitation, residual risk remains if the application server has overly permissive network access to other sensitive internal resources. The source does not specify the exact versions of E-Business Suite affected or provide a detailed list of all possible attack vectors beyond the unauthenticated remote path. Furthermore, it is unknown whether compensating controls, such as Web Application Firewalls (WAFs), can reliably detect and block this specific SSRF pattern without vendor-specific signatures.
