Overview
- Oracle issued an emergency fix for CVE-2025-61882, a critical unauthenticated remote code execution flaw (CVSS 9.8) in the BI Publisher Integration component of Oracle Concurrent Processing affecting E-Business Suite 12.2.3–12.2.14, with the October 2023 CPU required before applying the update.
- Mandiant says Cl0p used this zero-day alongside earlier EBS bugs patched in July to steal large volumes of data in August, with extortion emails to victims starting in late September.
- Oracle published indicators of compromise, including two source IPs, a reverse shell command, and hashes and filenames tied to the exploit used in the attacks.
- An exploit archive leaked on Telegram by actors calling themselves Scattered Lapsus$ Hunters matches Oracle’s IOCs, though any relationship with Cl0p remains unconfirmed.
- At least one organization has confirmed data theft and responders reported ransom demands reaching up to $50 million, as experts warn of likely n‑day exploitation by additional threat actors.
