Oracle released its October 2026 Critical Patch Update on October 20, the final quarterly update of the year. It delivers 1,295 security patches for 1,209 unique CVEs across 33 product families (tenable.com, securityweek.com). The patch count is higher than the CVE count because one CVE can appear in several product matrices (gbhackers.com). 112 patches (8.6%) are rated critical and cover 95 CVEs (tenable.com). Tenable published its breakdown by severity and product family on October 20 (21:58 UTC), and GBHackers followed on October 21 (09:18 UTC) with details on the critical unauthenticated flaws in Database, APEX and Essbase. Several fixes address flaws that can be exploited remotely without authentication in databases, middleware, business applications, Java, MySQL and virtualization platforms (gbhackers.com). No source names any CVE as exploited in the wild, and SecurityWeek confirms Oracle has not flagged any of the flaws as exploited (securityweek.com). Oracle warned that attackers keep targeting vulnerabilities that already have patches, and that some successful attacks happened because customers had not applied fixes (gbhackers.com). It also reminds customers that it periodically receives reports of exploitation attempts against its products (securityweek.com). On October 21, one day after the CPU, Oracle published a separate advisory and security alert for CVE-2026-91403 (securityweek.com).

A vulnerabilidade
This is a patch roundup, not one flaw. The most severe are four Oracle Essbase flaws, CVE-2026-91637, CVE-2026-91638, CVE-2026-91658 and CVE-2026-91663 (CVSS 9.9, version 21.8.3.0.0). They need low privileges and no user interaction, over HTTP or T3/IIOP. Next, at 9.8: CVE-2026-75803 (OpenSSL component of Oracle Database Server, unauthenticated over TLS, versions 19.3-19.32 and 23.4.0-23.26.3; rated 9.1 in Autonomous Health Framework 26.3-26.8), CVE-2026-101521 (Oracle APEX, unauthenticated over HTTPS, versions 24.1.0-24.1.21, 24.2.0-24.2.20 and 26.1.0-26.1.4) and CVE-2026-91665 (Essbase, unauthenticated over TCP). CVE-2026-66010 (DOMPurify bundled with APEX, 6.1) needs user interaction. CVE-2026-91403 is Oracle's response to the eMudhra weak-key incident. The articles list no fixed versions; the fix is the October 2026 CPU.
Como funciona
The articles do not describe the internal mechanism of any of these flaws. They give only the entry points. For CVE-2026-75803, the attacker reaches the OpenSSL component of Database Server over TLS without credentials. For CVE-2026-101521, the request arrives over HTTPS at the APEX General component. For the Essbase flaws, the request arrives over HTTP or T3/IIOP from a low-privileged account, or over TCP for CVE-2026-91665 without authentication. At which step each one fails is not stated.
Por que é vulnerável
The articles do not state the root cause of any of these CVEs. They only note that some affected components are third-party code bundled into Oracle products (OpenSSL in Database Server and Autonomous Health Framework, DOMPurify in APEX), which is why the same CVE can get different severity ratings depending on the product. They do not say what the fixes change.
Como foi descoberta
Oracle released the CPU on October 20 and Tenable analyzed it for the CVE counts and severity breakdown. GBHackers then detailed the critical flaws in Database, APEX and Essbase. The articles do not say who found the individual flaws. Oracle has not flagged any as exploited in the wild, but says attackers keep targeting flaws that already have patches and that it periodically receives reports of exploitation attempts. On October 21, Oracle published a separate advisory and security alert for CVE-2026-91403. CSPUs follow on November 17 and December 15, and the next CPU is January 19, 2027.
