Oracle has released its October 2025 Critical Patch Update (CPU), fixing a massive 374 security vulnerabilities and urgently addressing two flaws that could allow unauthenticated attackers to completely compromise and take over the critical Oracle Marketing application within the E-Business Suite.The severity of these two vulnerabilities, CVE-2025-53072 and CVE-2025-62481, has been rated 9.8 (Critical) on the CVSS scale.
The affected product, Oracle Marketing, is part of the broader Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS), a core platform used by global enterprises to manage critical business functions like finance, HR, and customer relationship management (CRM).
Compromising the Marketing Administration component, the specific area targeted by these flaws, could grant an attacker high-level access to the data and functionality of the entire marketing arm of an organization, which often deals with sensitive customer information and campaign strategy. A full system takeover means an attacker can gain complete control over the application’s processes and data.
The combination of unauthenticated access, easy exploitation, and the ultimate consequence of system takeover makes these twin vulnerabilities exceptionally dangerous.
The two critical marketing flaws were patched as part of the broader October 2025 CPU. This quarterly update is substantial, containing 374 new security patches, including over 230 fixes for vulnerabilities that are remotely exploitable without authentication.
All organizations running the affected Oracle Marketing versions 12.2.3-12.2.14 should prioritize the application of the October 2025 Critical Patch Update to mitigate the risk of a complete system compromise.
