    ShinyHunters Exploits Oracle PeopleSoft Zero-Day (CVE-2026-35273)

    The ShinyHunters threat group exploited a zero-day vulnerability (CVE-2026-35273) in Oracle PeopleSoft PeopleTools, a critical remote code execution flaw with a CVSS score of 9.8. The campaign, observed between May 27 and June 9, 2026, targeted over 100 global organizations, with a significant focus on the higher education sector. The vulnerability allowed unauthenticated remote code execution without user interaction. Stolen data from compromised organizations was subsequently published on ShinyHunters' data leak site, and some victims received extortion demands. Oracle released a security advisory on June 10, 2026, after the exploitation was already underway.
