| Exploitation Conditions | Requires TCP network reachability to an Oracle Coherence listener (cluster or proxy/Extend port) on an affected version (12.2.1.4.0, 14.1.1.0.0, 14.1.2.0.0, 15.1.1.0.0); per the CVSS vector (PR:N/UI:N/AC:L) no authentication, no user interaction, and no special non-default configuration are needed once the port is reachable. The primary limiting factor is network exposure: Coherence ports are normally intended to be internal, so exploitation depends on the attacker having a path to the listener - a segmented, firewalled deployment sharply limits reachability, while any internet- or broad-LAN-exposed instance is directly at risk. Impact is bounded to availability (hang/crash); it cannot be used to read data or execute code. |
| Impact | The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) is internally consistent and describes a low-complexity, unauthenticated, network-reachable DoS with high availability impact and no confidentiality or integrity loss - Oracle's own 'easily exploitable' wording reinforces AC:L/PR:N. The 7.5 score is driven entirely by availability; there is no code execution or data exposure. No EPSS score, POC, or KEV entry was supplied, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified from the input and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis. Real-world priority hinges on exposure: Coherence cluster/proxy ports are typically meant to be internal, so internet-exposed instances are the acute risk while segmented deployments face lower practical risk despite the network vector. Treat as a high-value patch for exposed or availability-sensitive systems, but note the impact ceiling is service outage, not compromise. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who can reach a Coherence TCP listener sends a crafted or malformed network message that drives the Core service into a hang or repeatable crash, taking the node - and potentially dependent middleware relying on the cache - offline. Because no authentication or user interaction is required and complexity is low, the request can be scripted and replayed to keep the service down. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 21, 2026
Denial-of-service in Oracle Coherence (Core component of Oracle Fusion Middleware) lets an unauthenticated attacker with TCP network access hang or repeatably crash the data-grid service, producing a complete availability outage. It affects supported versions 12.2.1.4.0, 14.1.1.0.0, 14.1.2.0.0 and 15.1.1.0.0 and is rated CVSS 3.1 7.5 (availability-only). Oracle labels it easily exploitable, but there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not on CISA KEV.
RemediationAI
Apply the fixes from the Oracle July 2026 Critical Patch Update as the primary remediation - Patch available per vendor advisory at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html; the input does not include an exact fixed build number, so consult that CPU matrix for the patch corresponding to your version (12.2.1.4.0, 14.1.1.0.0, 14.1.2.0.0 or 15.1.1.0.0). Until patched, reduce exposure by restricting network reachability of Coherence cluster and proxy/extend TCP listener ports to trusted management and application subnets via firewall/security-group rules and network segmentation, which blunts unauthenticated remote access with minimal functional trade-off for properly-tiered deployments; if any Coherence port is internet-exposed, block it at the perimeter immediately. Ensure clustered redundancy and monitoring/auto-restart of Coherence nodes so a triggered hang or crash degrades gracefully rather than causing total outage, accepting that this mitigates impact but does not prevent the DoS.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle Coherence is an in-memory distributed data grid used to cache and share application state across clustered Java middleware (often behind WebLogic and Fusion Middleware stacks), exposing cluster and proxy services over TCP. The flaw sits in the product's Core component, which handles cluster membership, serialization and network message processing. Oracle does not map a CWE (listed N/A), but the availability-only, no-integrity/no-confidentiality profile is consistent with a crash-inducing input-handling defect (e.g., malformed packet or request that triggers an unhandled condition or resource exhaustion in the network listener), placing it in the CWE-400/CWE-248-style denial-of-service class rather than a memory-corruption/RCE class.

DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the Oracle Coherence product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: Core). 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 TCP to compromise Oracle Coherence. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of Oracle Coherence. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 7.5 (Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H).
Executive ViewAI
Oracle Coherence, critical distributed data infrastructure used across the enterprise, faces a denial-of-service vulnerability affecting supported versions 12.2.1.4.0 through 15.1.1.0.0 that enables unauthenticated attackers to completely disable the service via network access. Absent a vendor patch, organizations must deploy immediate network-based mitigations to protect real-time data operations from external outage attacks.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Implement strict network segmentation to limit Coherence cluster access to trusted systems only; deploy network-based intrusion detection with alerts for unauthorized connection attempts; restrict administrative access to Coherence management interfaces; maintain tested failover procedures and ensure rapid recovery capabilities are validated and ready for deployment; establish 24/7 monitoring for anomalous cluster behavior.
