Oracle released an emergency patch for **CVE-2025-61882** (CVSS 9.8), a critical zero-day vulnerability in its **E-Business Suite**, actively exploited by the **Cl0p ransomware group** and potentially the **Scattered LAPSUS$ Hunters**. The flaw allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via HTTP, compromising the **Oracle Concurrent Processing** component. Cl0p leveraged this in a **high-volume phishing campaign**, stealing large volumes of sensitive data from multiple victims in **August 2025**. Indicators of compromise (IoCs) include malicious IP addresses (e.g., **200.107.207[.]26**, **185.181.60[.]11**), reverse shell payloads, and exploit scripts (e.g., *oracle_ebs_nday_exploit_poc_...*). Mandiant warned of **mass exploitation**, urging organizations to investigate potential breaches even after patching, as attackers may have already exfiltrated data. The incident highlights the risk of **supply-chain attacks** via unpatched enterprise software, with Cl0p’s campaign targeting financial, HR, and operational data—potentially disrupting business continuity and exposing customers/employees to fraud or regulatory penalties.
