| Exploitation Conditions | No special conditions - remote unauthenticated exploitation over TCP against Oracle Coherence, per Oracle's 'easily exploitable' assessment and the AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N vector. The concrete prerequisite is network reachability to a Coherence cluster member or Coherence*Extend proxy TCP listener; exploitation is limited only where those ports are firewalled off from the attacker or the deployment exposes no reachable Core/proxy listener. Affected versions are limited to 12.2.1.4.0, 14.1.1.0.0, 14.1.2.0.0, and 15.1.1.0.0, so releases outside that list fall outside the stated scope. |
| Impact | All available signals point to genuine priority rather than an inflated CVSS. The vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated attack with unchanged scope but full C/I/A compromise, and Oracle itself labels it 'easily exploitable.' Countervailing signals: this is not on CISA KEV and no proof-of-concept is referenced, so there is no confirmation of active or public exploitation, and no EPSS score was supplied to gauge exploitation probability. There is also a data conflict worth flagging: the source Tags list 'Information Disclosure' only, whereas the CVSS vector and description assert full integrity and availability impact plus complete takeover - treat the tag as an incomplete label and defer to the CVSS/description, but verify scope with Oracle. No SSVC decision data was provided. Net: a high-severity, low-friction, unauthenticated network vulnerability in enterprise middleware - patch promptly even without in-the-wild reports. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who can reach a Coherence cluster member or Extend proxy TCP port from the network sends a crafted request to the Core communication endpoint, requiring no credentials and no user interaction. Because the flaw yields full takeover, the attacker gains control over the data grid - reading and modifying cached data and executing attacker-controlled logic in the Coherence process. No public proof-of-concept is currently identified, but the low attack complexity makes reliable exploitation plausible once details emerge. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 21, 2026
Remote takeover of Oracle Coherence (Core component) allows an unauthenticated attacker with TCP network access to fully compromise the in-memory data grid, per Oracle's July 2026 Critical Patch Update. The flaw carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8 with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact and no required privileges or user interaction. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the trivial exploitability and full-takeover impact make this a high-priority patch for affected Fusion Middleware deployments.
RemediationAI
Apply the fixes delivered in the Oracle Critical Patch Update of July 2026 (https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html) for the affected versions 12.2.1.4.0, 14.1.1.0.0, 14.1.2.0.0, and 15.1.1.0.0 - Patch available per vendor advisory; Oracle does not publish a separate semantic fix build number, so consult the CPU patch matrix for the exact Coherence bundle patch for your release. Until patched, reduce exposure by restricting network reachability of the Coherence cluster and Coherence*Extend/proxy TCP ports to trusted hosts via firewall or network segmentation, and avoid exposing proxy listeners to untrusted or internet-facing networks; the trade-off is that overly tight filtering can break legitimate cluster membership or remote client connectivity, so validate the cluster port list before applying rules. Where Coherence*Extend proxies are not required, disable the external proxy tier to shrink the attack surface, accepting that remote non-cluster clients will lose access.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle Coherence is a distributed, in-memory data grid used within Oracle Fusion Middleware (frequently alongside WebLogic Server) to provide clustered caching, data partitioning, and low-latency access for enterprise Java applications. Cluster members communicate over TCP, and external clients connect through the Coherence*Extend/proxy tier, which is the network surface referenced by the AV:N vector. Oracle classifies the defect in the 'Core' component and did not assign a CWE (CWE: N/A); the 'takeover of Oracle Coherence' language combined with full C/I/A impact is consistent with an unauthenticated deserialization or protocol-handling flaw in the cluster/proxy communication path, a recurring root-cause class in Java middleware, though Oracle does not disclose the precise mechanism. The single reported CPE, cpe:2.3:a:oracle_corporation:oracle_coherence:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, is version-agnostic (wildcard) and does not by itself pin the affected releases - those come from the advisory text.

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 core component of Oracle Fusion Middleware, is vulnerable to unauthenticated remote takeover (CVE-2026-60269, CVSS 9.8) that permits complete compromise of the in-memory data grid and all protected data. Any organization running Coherence faces operational shutdown and data breach risk without immediate mitigation. This vulnerability demands emergency response.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Restrict network access to Coherence cluster ports via firewall rules limiting communication to known trusted internal hosts; deploy network-based intrusion detection and alerting on Coherence port traffic; maintain operational readiness for emergency Coherence shutdown if suspicious access indicators emerge; escalate through your Oracle TAM relationship for expedited patch delivery given the criticality and unauthenticated attack vector.
