| Exploitation Conditions | No special conditions - remote unauthenticated exploitation over HTTP against network-reachable Oracle Coherence (versions 12.2.1.4.0, 14.1.1.0.0, 14.1.2.0.0, 15.1.1.0.0), consistent with AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N. The primary practical prerequisite and limiting factor is network reachability of the Coherence HTTP endpoint: an attacker must be able to route an HTTP request to the affected Coherence port, so deployments where Coherence is confined to an isolated internal cluster network, firewalled, or not HTTP-exposed materially reduce real-world exploitability. Exploitation is bounded to the listed supported versions; the exact fixed build removes the condition entirely. |
| Impact | The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, 9.8) describes the worst-case profile: network-reachable, low complexity, no privileges, no user interaction, and full triadic impact - a textbook priority-patch candidate, reinforced by Oracle's own 'easily exploitable' and 'takeover' phrasing. Countervailing signals temper urgency: no EPSS score was provided, the CVE is not in CISA KEV, and no public exploit or POC has been identified, so this reflects theoretical exploitability rather than observed in-the-wild activity. The 'Information Disclosure' tag conflicts with the C:H/I:H/A:H vector - the vector should be treated as authoritative and the tag as an incomplete label. Bottom line: this is a genuine high priority for any exposed Coherence deployment because of the network-unauthenticated-RCE profile and low attack complexity, but the absence of KEV/EPSS/POC data means exploitation is currently a modeled risk, not a confirmed campaign. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who can reach a Coherence node's HTTP-exposed port on the network sends a single crafted HTTP request that requires no credentials and no user interaction, triggering the flaw and gaining full control of the Coherence instance. Because attack complexity is low and the impact is total takeover, the compromised data-grid node can then be used to read or tamper with cached application data and pivot into the surrounding Fusion Middleware/WebLogic environment. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, so this scenario is derived from the CVSS vector and Oracle's takeover description rather than an observed exploit. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 21, 2026
Full compromise of Oracle Coherence (Oracle Fusion Middleware, Core component) allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to take over the affected server via a crafted HTTP request, per Oracle's July 2026 Critical Patch Update. The flaw carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8 with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact and is described by Oracle as 'easily exploitable,' affecting supported versions 12.2.1.4.0, 14.1.1.0.0, 14.1.2.0.0, and 15.1.1.0.0. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the CVE is not currently listed in CISA KEV; EPSS data was not provided.
RemediationAI
Apply the fixes from the Oracle Critical Patch Update of July 2026 (https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html); Oracle CPUs ship as cumulative patches per Fusion Middleware release train, so patch each affected line - 12.2.1.4.0, 14.1.1.0.0, 14.1.2.0.0, and 15.1.1.0.0 - to the CPU-corresponding build (Patch available per vendor advisory; an exact standalone fix version was not provided in the input, confirm the specific patch number in the advisory's Coherence/Fusion Middleware patch table). Until patched, reduce exposure by restricting network access to Coherence HTTP/management and cluster ports so only trusted management hosts can reach them (trade-off: may break remote management/monitoring tooling), placing Coherence behind a segmented internal network or firewall and never exposing it directly to the internet or untrusted VLANs, and disabling any unused HTTP management/REST endpoints on the Coherence tier (trade-off: loss of REST-based administration or metrics). These are compensating controls only; the CPU patch is the sole complete fix.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle Coherence is an in-memory data grid / distributed caching and clustering platform bundled with Oracle Fusion Middleware, commonly used to scale Java (WebLogic) applications with a shared, replicated data tier. This issue resides in the 'Core' component and is reachable over HTTP by an unauthenticated network client, and Oracle states successful attacks result in full 'takeover' of Coherence - language Oracle typically reserves for arbitrary code execution or complete control of the product. No CWE was supplied (CWE: N/A) and Oracle's CPU advisories do not disclose root-cause detail, but Coherence's historical HTTP-exposed vulnerability class has centered on unsafe deserialization of untrusted data in its cluster/management protocols; that root cause is inferred here, not confirmed. The tag 'Information Disclosure' appears in the source intelligence but conflicts with the CVSS vector, which indicates high impact across all three of confidentiality, integrity, and availability rather than disclosure alone.

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 HTTP 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 caching component of Oracle Fusion Middleware, contains a critical vulnerability (CVE-2026-60286, CVSS 9.8) allowing complete remote server compromise without authentication through a crafted HTTP request. Affected versions 12.2.1.4.0 through 15.1.1.0.0 expose organizations to total loss of system availability, data confidentiality, and integrity. With no vendor patch currently available, organizations face immediate operational risk and must implement urgent interim protections.
Network segmentation-restrict Coherence system access to authenticated internal hosts and subnets only; disable unnecessary Coherence services in non-critical systems; deploy Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules blocking malformed HTTP requests; implement enhanced monitoring and alerting on all Coherence instances; configure egress restrictions to limit lateral movement if compromise occurs; maintain offline backups of data cached in affected systems to support recovery.
