Well you have set putty up with the necessary putty private key (*.ppk) - and you 'Saved' that configuration.I have been using Putty to access the instance. Just today. but accident, I double clicked on the instance name and was immediately logged in. Go figure. No telling what is going on with that nonsense.
When you double clicked it putty used your remembered config to log you in as user ubuntu , as you accessed via the *.ppk there would be no danger that anyone else has your private key.
Hopefully you have set a password for user root@your-OracleInstance-IP and I remember something about disable password login in the sshd_config file
