Oracle E-Business Suite Under Siege: Critical RCE in iSurvey Module (CVE-2025-30727)
Introduction
Oracle's E-Business Suite, a cornerstone of enterprise operations worldwide, faces a critical threat. A newly disclosed vulnerability, CVE-2025-30727, allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code remotely, potentially leading to complete system compromise. Given the widespread deployment of Oracle E-Business Suite, the implications for businesses are severe and immediate action is required.
Affected Systems and Versions
The vulnerability specifically impacts the Oracle Scripting product within Oracle E-Business Suite, affecting the following versions:
- Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2.3 through 12.2.14
Any deployment of these versions utilizing the iSurvey Module is vulnerable, particularly if the module is accessible via HTTP from untrusted networks.
Technical Information
CVE-2025-30727 is a remote code execution vulnerability resulting from improper input validation within the iSurvey Module. Attackers exploit this flaw by sending specially crafted HTTP requests to the vulnerable component, bypassing authentication entirely. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) underscores the ease and severity of exploitation, highlighting no requirement for prior privileges or user interaction.
The vulnerability allows attackers to inject malicious payloads directly into the system, enabling full control over the affected Oracle Scripting environment. This could lead to data theft, system manipulation, or further lateral movement within the compromised network.
Patch Information
Oracle has addressed this vulnerability in its April 2025 Critical Patch Update (CPU). Organizations running affected versions (12.2.3 through 12.2.14) should immediately apply the available patches provided by Oracle:
If immediate patching is not feasible, organizations should consider disabling the iSurvey Module or restricting its HTTP access to trusted networks only.
Detection Methods
Organizations should monitor HTTP traffic directed at the iSurvey Module for unusual patterns or suspicious payloads. Detailed logging and monitoring of HTTP requests can help detect exploitation attempts. No specific indicators of compromise (IoCs) or YARA rules have been publicly provided as of the advisory date.
References
Immediate action is critical to protect Oracle E-Business Suite deployments from potential exploitation. Organizations must prioritize patching and continuous monitoring to mitigate this severe threat effectively.
