MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Defense Evasion The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires that a person other than the attacker actively interacts with attacker-controlled content (UI:R) - this is a hard prerequisite, not a soft one; passive network exposure alone is insufficient. The attacker must be able to deliver a crafted HTTP request to the WebLogic Web Services component over the network, meaning the component must be reachable from the attacker's vantage point. No attacker authentication is required (PR:N). The description does not specify a non-default configuration requirement - any of the four affected versions with Web Services component exposed over HTTP is in scope. Limiting factors include: mandatory human interaction narrows exploitation to social-engineering vectors; the S:U scope prevents lateral movement to other system components; and the C:N/A:N impact means confidential data extraction and service disruption are not achievable through this flaw alone. |
| Impact | The composite risk picture is moderate-to-low in practical terms despite the PR:N network vector. CVSS 6.5 Medium is calibrated downward specifically by UI:R, which the SSVC framework corroborates with Automatable: none - mass scanning and automated exploitation are not feasible. EPSS at 0.03% (8th percentile) is notably low, indicating the broader threat-intelligence community has not observed meaningful exploitation activity. SSVC Technical Impact is rated partial, aligning with the scope-unchanged, integrity-only CVSS impact (S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N). No KEV listing and no public POC further reduce urgency. The primary real-world risk is targeted phishing or watering-hole attacks against organizations running exposed WebLogic Web Services endpoints, where a developer or administrator can be induced to click a malicious link. The absence of confidentiality or availability impact limits the blast radius. This is a patch-and-monitor situation rather than an emergency break-glass scenario. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker identifies an organization running a publicly reachable Oracle WebLogic Server Web Services endpoint and crafts a malicious HTTP request (e.g., embedded in a phishing email link or a malicious web page). When a WebLogic user with an active session or sufficient context interacts with the attacker's content - triggering the crafted request - the server's authorization bypass allows the attacker to write, modify, or delete data accessible to that WebLogic deployment without the attacker having any prior credentials. No public proof-of-concept exists at time of analysis, so exploitation requires attacker-developed tooling. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 24, 2026
Improper authorization in Oracle WebLogic Server's Web Services component allows unauthenticated remote attackers to perform unauthorized creation, deletion, or modification of critical data - but only when a victim user interacts with attacker-controlled content. Affecting four actively supported versions (12.2.1.4.0 through 15.1.1.0.0), this flaw carries a CVSS 6.5 Medium rating reflecting the mandatory human-interaction prerequisite that prevents fully automated exploitation. No public exploit code exists and CISA has not listed this in the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog; SSVC assessment confirms exploitation status as none at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Apply the patches released in Oracle's Critical Patch Update for April 2026, available at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpuapr2026.html. Oracle does not publish exact patch sub-version identifiers in the advisory synopsis; consult the full CPU patch availability document (PAD) for per-product patch numbers corresponding to each affected version (12.2.1.4.0, 14.1.1.0.0, 14.1.2.0.0, 15.1.1.0.0). As a compensating control prior to patching, restrict external network access to WebLogic Web Services endpoints using a Web Application Firewall or network ACLs, which raises the bar for the social-engineering prerequisite by limiting the attacker's ability to craft requests that reach the vulnerable component. Security-awareness measures targeting WebLogic administrators (not clicking unverified links while authenticated to management consoles) are a useful secondary control given the UI:R requirement, though they are not a substitute for patching.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle WebLogic Server is a Java EE application server widely used in enterprise middleware deployments, identified via CPE cpe:2.3:a:oracle_corporation:oracle_weblogic_server. The affected component is Web Services, which handles SOAP/REST service endpoints over HTTP. The root cause is CWE-285 (Improper Authorization), meaning the server fails to enforce correct authorization decisions when processing certain requests - consistent with the 'Authentication Bypass' tag in the intelligence data. This class of flaw typically arises when an endpoint either skips an authorization gate or relies on a bypassable check, allowing a crafted HTTP request to be processed with elevated data-modification privileges. The HTTP attack vector and PR:N in the CVSS vector confirm the vulnerable endpoint is exposed over the network without requiring prior authentication.

DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the Oracle WebLogic Server product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: Web Services). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.1.4.0, 14.1.1.0.0, 14.1.2.0.0 and 15.1.1.0.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle WebLogic Server. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or all Oracle WebLogic Server accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 6.5 (Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N).
