Oracle Supply Chain Breach. Deeper Look

Oracle Cloud Supply Chain Breach: exfiltrated data affecting over 140k tenants

In what is being coined “So far the biggest breach of 2025”, a threat actor is selling 6 million records allegedly extracted from Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

To better understand the scale and geographic distribution, we have the list of all affected domains from this breach. The list has been collated, cleaned and classified by the top-level domain.

Below is the summary of the cleaned domain data:

Rank Top Level Domain Count of unique Domains
1 .com 79.244
2 .br 4.737
3 .jp 3.573
4 .net 3.555
5 .org 3.144
6 .uk 2.501
7 .de 2.462
8 .it 1.924
9 .edu 1.652
10 .mx 1.614
11 .au 1.608
12 .in 1.549
13 .fr 1.485
14 .co 1.171
15 .nl 1.167
….
37 .be 460

Grand Total 140.621 

While looking a little  more in-depth into the data, we identified that approximately 687 domains belonged to personal and niche businesses. The data also contains 1.883 “domains” either being artifact lines of the script or just bad input data.

The data includes JKS files, encrypted SSO passwords, key files, and enterprise manager JPS keys.

The attacker, active since January 2025, is incentivizing decryption assistance and demanding payment for data removal from over 140K affected tenants. or suggests a possible undisclosed vulnerability on login.(region-name).oraclecloud.com, leading to unauthorized access. While the threat actor has no prior history, their methods indicate high sophistication.
CloudSEK assesses this threat with medium confidence and rates it as High in severity.

Some further analysis on the attack:

The threat actor claims to have compromised the subdomain login.us2.oraclecloud.com, which has been claimed to have been taken down since the hack.

The subdomain was captured on the wayback machine on 17 Feb 2025, which  suggests that it was hosting Oracle fusion middleware 11G .

This specific Oracle Fusion middleware server  was last updated around Sat, 27 Sep 2014 .

The Oracle Fusion middleware had a critical vulnerability CVE-2021-35587  which affects Oracle Access Manager (OpenSSO Agent) . Which was added to CISA KEV(Known Exploited Vulnerabilities) already on December 2022 .

CVE-2021-35587: Vulnerability in Oracle Access Manager (OpenSSO Agent)

A vulnerability exists in the Oracle Access Manager component of Oracle Fusion Middleware (OpenSSO Agent). The affected versions are:

  • 11.1.2.3.0
  • 12.2.1.3.0
  • 12.2.1.4.0

This easily exploitable vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Access Manager. Successful exploitation can lead to a complete takeover of Oracle Access Manager.

Threat actor claimed to one of the independent news sources that they have compromised  a vulnerable version of the Oracle Cloud servers with a public CVE (flaw) that does not currently have a public PoC or exploit.

As we can see in the aforementioned screenshot, the login endpoint was last updated in 2014 ! ‍

Due to lack of patch management practices and/or insecure coding, the vulnerability in Oracle Fusion Middleware was exploited by the threat actor. This easily exploitable vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Access Manager. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle Access Manager(OAM). This aligns with the samples that were leaked on Breachforums too.
