Critical OCI Identity Domains Vulnerability: When Cloud Authorization Models Collide
Critical OCI Identity Domains Vulnerability: When Cloud Authorization Models Collide

Critical OCI Identity Domains Vulnerability: When Cloud Authorization Models Collide

In March 2026, security researchers at NetSPI discovered a critical permission bypass vulnerability in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Identity Domains that allowed lower-privileged User Manager roles to escalate privileges and create API keys for Identity Domain Administrators. The vulnerability exploited a disconnect between two separate authorization models within OCI - traditional IAM policies and Identity Domain application roles - where different API endpoints failed to consistently enforce the same security boundaries. This allowed attackers with minimal User Manager permissions to gain full administrative control over identity domains, bypassing intended role separation controls. Oracle patched the vulnerability in June 2026 after a three-month disclosure process. This incident highlights the growing complexity of cloud identity and access management systems, where multiple authorization models can create unexpected privilege escalation paths. As organizations increasingly adopt multi-cloud strategies and complex identity architectures, understanding the intersection of different permission systems becomes critical for preventing similar bypass vulnerabilities.
