Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2.15 Available Now

 Dear All,

Oracle has released latest Oracle EBS R12.215 few days back.


EBS R12.2.15 is the latest major update (as of late 2025) for Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2, released in October 2025, bringing customer-driven enhancements, new ECC features, better security, mobile capabilities, and extended support through 2036, following Oracle's continuous innovation model for the 12.2 series. It focuses on ERP, SCM, and HCM areas, with key features like advanced dashboards and improved cost planning, accessible via Oracle's eDelivery. 




Key Highlights of EBS R12.2.15:

Release Date: October 2025.

Support: Extends Premier Support for EBS 12.2 through at least 2036.

Focus: Customer-driven enhancements, operational efficiency.

Key Areas: ERP, SCM, HCM, with new functionality in cost planning and margin analysis.

Features: Advanced dashboards, enhanced security, improved mobile picking.

Release Model: Part of the "Continuous Innovation" for 12.2, meaning updates without major version upgrades.

Access: Available for download from Oracle's Software Delivery Cloud (eDelivery) site. 

What it Means for Users:

Stay Current: Encourages staying on the 12.2 track with ongoing updates, not a leap to 12.3 (which isn't planned).

Enhanced Functionality: Users get new features in areas like Warehouse Management (picking options) and better reporting tools.

Long-Term Investment: Confirms Oracle's commitment to the EBS 12.2 platform.

The EBS 12.2.15 release update pack (RUP) is delivered on My Oracle Support as Patch 37182900. Instructions for downloading and applying this latest RUP on top of the EBS 12.2 codeline can be found here:

  • Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2.15 Readme (MOS Note 3072818.1)
  • https://support.oracle.com/rs?type=doc&id=3072818.1



What Does Release 12.2.15 Include?

With this release, EBS introduces the Oracle E-Business Suite What’s New Home Documents and Home Page. The new page makes it easier to discover and understand EBS features and enhancements. Features are organized into What’s New documents by product family, with descriptions, screenshots, setup steps, and tips, and are accessible without a login on the Oracle Help Center. This new approach replacing previous Release Content Documents (RCDs) and Transfer of Information presentations (TOIs) , and making it easier for users to understand the business value and requirements for each release.

Note: EBS Release 12.2.15 is cumulative. That means that as well as providing new updates for this release, it also includes updates that were originally made available as one-off patches for earlier 12.2 releases.

Common Questions and Answers About Upgrading

  • Q1: Is there a direct upgrade path from EBS 12.2.x to 12.2.15?
  • A1: Yes. Release 12.2.x customers can apply the EBS 12.2.15 RUP.  EBS 12.2.15 is an online patch, so it can be applied while an existing Release 12.2.x system is running.
  • Q2: Is there a direct upgrade path from Release 12.1 to Release 12.2.15?
  • A2: No. Release 12.1 customers must first upgrade to Release 12.2 before applying 12.2.15.

CVE-2025-61882 and CVE-2025-61884 Oracle E-Business Suite Security Alert addresses vulnerability R12.2

 Dear All,

In this post i am sharing details related to Oracle E-Business Suite Security Alert addresses vulnerability  R12.2 versions which are reported recently in this year 2025.

Vulnerability in EBS R12.2 versions.

CVE-2025-61882 ::: 

The vulnerability lies in the BI Publisher Integration component of Oracle’s Concurrent Processing module, part of EBS versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.14. It allows unauthenticated attackers to send specially crafted HTTP requests that lead to remote code execution on the affected server.


Critical unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE) in Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS)

> Actively exploited in Clop-led data theft and extortion attacks

> Exploit and Oracle source code leaked publicly

> Emergency patch released

 

Oracle has released an emergency patch for a critical zero-day vulnerability in Oracle E-Business Suite, tracked as CVE-2025-61882. The flaw, with a CVSS score of 9.8, allows attackers to execute arbitrary code remotely without authentication.

Reports from Oracle, Mandiant, and independent researchers confirm the vulnerability has been actively exploited in Clop ransomware (Ransomware is a type of malicious software (malware) )  group campaigns, leading to large-scale data theft and extortion. Public indicators of compromise (IOCs) now match exploit code that leaked on Telegram, confirming this is the same vulnerability used in recent attacks.

EBS R12.2 Environment :


EBS R12.1.3 Environment : 


 

CVE-2025-61884 ::

======== ====

post 884 fixup we may see this issue , you can apply the given patch to fix that issue.


Recommended actions

  • Patch immediately: Apply Oracle’s Security Alert update for CVE-2025-61882. Ensure the October 2025 Critical Patch Update is installed first.
  • Hunt for the following IOCs: Reverse shell commands (/bin/bash -i >& /dev/tcp), unexpected child processes from the EBS Java service, the IPs 200.107.207.26 and 185.181.60.11, and presence of files exp.py, server.py, or oracle_ebs_nday_exploit*.zip.
  • Review access exposure: Identify any externally accessible EBS instances or outdated versions.
  • Increase runtime visibility: Monitor for process and library behavior within application workloads, not just endpoints.

 

 

  • June 2025: Dark Web posts advertise an Oracle EBS zero-day exploit for sale (~$70,000).
  • August 2025: Clop begins an extortion campaign targeting EBS servers across multiple organizations.
  • October 4, 2025: Oracle publishes a Security Alert for CVE-2025-61882 and releases an emergency patch.
  • October 5, 2025: Mandiant confirms Clop leveraged both previously patched July vulnerabilities and this new zero-day.
  • October 6, 2025: Exploit archive and partial Oracle source code leaked by a group calling itself Scattered Lapsus$ Hunters.

Oracle 26AI database Silent Mode installation step by step

 Dear All, 

In this post i am going share how to Install oracle AI database Free in Silent Mode.

Performing a Silent Installation

You can install Oracle AI Database Free using silent mode. You can use this mode to perform an embedded install of Oracle AI Database Free with your application, or unattended operation.

To perform a silent installation, you must enter a password for the administrative accounts as a parameter to the script, or specify it in the configuration file.

  1. Create a wrapper shell script to perform the silent installation. The script should contain commands similar to the following:

    For Oracle Linux 8

    #!/bin/bash
     
    yum -y install /downloads/oracle-ai-database-free-26ai-23.26.0-1.el8.x86_64.rpm > /free_logs/FREEsilentinstall.log 2>&1
    
    /etc/init.d/oracle-free-26ai configure >> /free_logs/FREEsilentinstall.log 2>&1
    

    For Oracle Linux 9

    #!/bin/bash
     
    yum -y install /downloads/oracle-ai-database-free-26ai-23.26.0-1.el9.x86_64.rpm > /free_logs/FREEsilentinstall.log 2>&1
    
    /etc/init.d/oracle-free-26ai configure >> /free_logs/FREEsilentinstall.log 2>&1
    

    For Oracle Linux 8 on Linux for Arm (aarch64)

    #!/bin/bash
     
    yum -y install /downloads/oracle-ai-database-free-26ai-23.26.0-1.el8.aarch64.rpm > /free_logs/FREEsilentinstall.log 2>&1
    
    /etc/init.d/oracle-free-26ai configure >> /free_logs/FREEsilentinstall.log 2>&1
    

    Alternatively, you can enter the password in the script, such as:

    (echo "password"; echo "password";) | /etc/init.d/oracle-free-26ai configure >> /free_logs/FREEsilentinstall.log 2>&1

    Replace password with a password that is secure. The password entered should be at least 8 characters in length, contain at least 1 uppercase character, 1 lower case character, and 1 digit [0-9].

  2. Make the wrapper script executable.

    chmod +x myscript.sh
  3. Run the script as root using sudo.
    sudo ./myscript.sh

    The Oracle AI Database Free Oracle home is /opt/oracle/product/26ai/dbhomeFREE

    For details of the installation, review the /free_logs/FREEsilentinstall.log file.

The /etc/sysconfig/oracle-free-26ai.conf configuration file sets the following:

  • LISTENER_PORT: A valid listener numeric port value for the database listener. Do not specify any value for automatic port assignment.

  • CHARSET: Character set of the database. This is set to AL32UTF8.

  • DBFILE_DEST Database file directory. By default, the database files are stored in the Oracle base /opt/oracle/oradata subdirectory. You can also create your own database file directory. However, the permissions for this file path should be owned by the oracle user.

  • SKIP_VALIDATIONS: Skip validation for memory and disk space. Default is false.

  • CONFIGURE_TDE: Set CONFIGURE_TDE=true to configure Transparent Data Encryption (TDE). The default value is false.
  • ENCRYPT_TABLESPACES: Leave this value empty for user tablespaces. Set this value to ALL for encrypting all the tablespaces. For specific tablespaces, use SYSTEM:true,SYSAUX:false. Default value is empty.

The database creation logs are located under Oracle base in the /opt/oracle/cfgtoollogs/dbca/ subdirectory.

Setting Oracle AI Database Free Environment Variables

After you install and configure Oracle AI Database Free, set the environment before you use Oracle AI Database Free.

Use the oraenv and coraenv scripts to set your environment variables.

For example, to set your environment variables in Bourne, Bash, or Korn shell without being prompted by the script, log in as the Oracle user and run the following commands:

export ORACLE_SID=FREE export ORAENV_ASK=NO . /opt/oracle/product/26ai/dbhomeFree/bin/oraenv

These commands display an output similar to the following:

ORACLE_HOME = [] ? /opt/oracle/product/26ai/dbhomeFree
The Oracle base has been set to /opt/oracle
For C shell:
setenv ORACLE_SID FREE setenv ORACLEENV_ASK NO source /opt/oracle/product/26ai/dbhomeFree
