Summary

CVE-2026-35254 is a medium-severity Path Traversal (CWE-22) vulnerability in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Cli. Its CVSS base score is 6.1 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Ingress Tool Transfer (T1105); ranked at the 4th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and AC-6 (Least Privilege) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer Command And Control
Adversaries may transfer tools or other files from an external system into a compromised environment.
Why these techniques?

Path traversal (CWE-22) enables arbitrary file placement via imports, directly facilitating ingress tool transfer to unintended filesystem locations.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Directly requires validation of file path inputs to block the path traversal that allows writes outside the intended directory.

prevent

Restricts the privileges of the OCI CLI process so that even a successful traversal cannot write files outside its authorized scope.

detect

Enables monitoring of file system operations to identify anomalous writes that result from exploitation of the path traversal flaw.

Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

PR.PS-02 partial match
prevents

Patching/maintenance can remediate known path-traversal flaws in deployed software (partial prevention of exploitability) but does nothing to stop the coding defect from being introduced in the first place.

PR.AA-05 none match
prevents

PR.AA-05 defines and reviews access policies but does not address code-level pathname neutralization, so neither direction prevents CWE-22.

detects

Security testing in development catches path traversal via static/dynamic analysis.

prevents

Secure SDLC mandates input validation and path sanitization that directly prevent path traversal.

prevents

Application security requirements include rules for safe file handling and canonicalization.

prevents

Secure architecture principles require least-privilege file access and directory isolation.

prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly forbid unsafe path construction and mandate safe APIs.

mitigates

Information access restriction limits which files an application may read or write.
