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 | No special conditions - remote unauthenticated exploitation against network-reachable Oracle Coherence, requiring only TCP access to a Coherence cluster or Coherence*Extend proxy port (per AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N and Oracle's 'easily exploitable, unauthenticated' wording). The practical limiting factor is network reachability: exploitation requires the attacker to reach the Coherence TCP listener, so deployments that keep cluster/Extend ports on isolated internal segments and off internet-facing interfaces materially raise the bar. Affected only on Coherence 12.2.1.4.0, 14.1.1.0.0, 14.1.2.0.0 and 15.1.1.0.0; other or already-patched versions are out of scope. |
| Impact | All available signals point to genuine high priority rather than an inflated CVSS. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, 9.8) indicates network reachability, low complexity, no privileges and no user interaction, with full compromise of all three security properties, and Oracle explicitly labels it 'easily exploitable' resulting in 'takeover.' No EPSS score, KEV listing, POC, or SSVC decision data was supplied, so real-world exploitation likelihood cannot be quantified from the input - absence of these signals is not evidence of low risk. The Tags list 'Information Disclosure,' which understates the impact given the CVSS I:H/A:H and Oracle's 'takeover' language; treat the CVSS/Oracle text as authoritative over the tag. Given the trivial exploitation profile of an unauthenticated network takeover, defenders should assume weaponization is feasible even though no public exploit is confirmed yet. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who can reach a Coherence cluster or Coherence*Extend proxy TCP port sends a crafted request that requires no authentication and no user interaction, triggering the Core-component flaw to gain control of the Coherence process. From that foothold the attacker reads or tampers with cached grid data and can pivot into the WebLogic/Fusion Middleware application tier. No public proof-of-concept is identified at time of analysis, but the low-complexity, unauthenticated profile makes reliable exploitation plausible. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 21, 2026
Remote takeover of Oracle Coherence (Core component of Oracle Fusion Middleware) allows an unauthenticated attacker with TCP network access to fully compromise the affected instance, per Oracle's July 2026 Critical Patch Update. The flaw carries a 9.8 CVSS and impacts confidentiality, integrity and availability of Coherence versions 12.2.1.4.0, 14.1.1.0.0, 14.1.2.0.0 and 15.1.1.0.0. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, but the network-reachable, no-authentication profile makes it a high-priority patch.
RemediationAI
Apply the fixes delivered in the Oracle Critical Patch Update of July 2026 (https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html) for each affected Coherence release - Patch available per vendor advisory; Oracle did not publish a discrete fixed version string in the supplied data, so consult the CPU patch matrix for the exact patch/interim patch number matching your 12.2.1.4.0, 14.1.1.0.0, 14.1.2.0.0 or 15.1.1.0.0 install. Until patched, restrict network exposure of Coherence cluster and Coherence*Extend proxy TCP ports to trusted management segments via firewall/security-group rules and keep Coherence tiers behind network segmentation rather than exposed to general or internet-facing traffic; the trade-off is that overly tight rules can break legitimate cluster membership (TCMP) or Extend client connectivity, so validate member/client reachability after changes. If the platform supports it, enable TLS/SSL and identity/authorization on Coherence*Extend proxies and TCMP to reduce untrusted access, accepting added latency and configuration overhead. These are compensating controls only - patching is the sole reliable fix.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle Coherence is an in-memory data grid (IMDG) and distributed caching platform bundled with Oracle Fusion Middleware, used for clustering, session replication, and high-scale caching in Java/WebLogic application tiers. Cluster members and clients communicate over TCP (Coherence*Extend / TCMP), and the vulnerability resides in the product's Core component reachable over that network channel. Oracle did not assign a CWE (CWE: N/A), but 'takeover' by an unauthenticated network attacker in an IMDG of this type is historically consistent with unsafe Java deserialization of cluster/client traffic - a common root-cause class for prior Coherence and WebLogic critical flaws; this classification is inferred, not confirmed by Oracle.

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 takeover of Oracle Coherence. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 9.8 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
Executive ViewAI
Oracle Coherence, a foundational data-management component in Oracle Fusion Middleware, can be remotely compromised without authentication by any attacker with network access (CVSS 9.8). With no vendor patch released, this vulnerability exposes organizations to complete theft, manipulation, or destruction of business-critical data and services managed through affected Coherence deployments. Any environment running versions 12.2.1.4.0, 14.1.1.0.0, 14.1.2.0.0, or 15.1.1.0.0 faces immediate risk.
Network segmentation restricting inbound TCP access to Coherence ports from only authorized systems; enhanced network flow logging and IDS/IPS detection rules for Coherence ports; isolation of non-critical Coherence instances; continuous monitoring for unauthorized connection attempts and anomalous data access patterns.
