2DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the Oracle WebLogic Server 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. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via T3, IIOP to compromise Oracle WebLogic Server. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle WebLogic Server. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 8.1 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
AnalysisAI
Server takeover in Oracle WebLogic Server (Fusion Middleware, Core component) lets an unauthenticated remote attacker fully compromise affected instances by abusing the proprietary T3 and IIOP remote protocols. Supported releases 12.2.1.4.0, 14.1.1.0.0, 14.1.2.0.0 and 15.1.1.0.0 are vulnerable, and successful exploitation yields complete confidentiality, integrity and availability loss. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; the flaw is rated high complexity (CVSS 8.1) and was disclosed in Oracle's July 2026 Critical Patch Update.
Technical ContextAI
WebLogic Server is Oracle's flagship Java EE application server underpinning much of Oracle Fusion Middleware. The exposure lies in the Core component and is reached through T3 (Oracle's proprietary RMI transport) and IIOP (CORBA-over-IIOP), both of which historically carry Java-serialized object streams. This class of WebLogic Core/T3/IIOP defect has repeatedly stemmed from insecure deserialization of untrusted data (CWE-502), where a crafted serialized payload delivered over the listen port is instantiated server-side and drives arbitrary behavior. The CWE was not supplied by the source (CWE: N/A), so the deserialization root cause is inferred from the affected protocols rather than confirmed. The single affected CPE (cpe:2.3:a:oracle_corporation:oracle_weblogic_server) uses a wildcard version, so precise affected builds come from the description's enumerated releases rather than the CPE.
RemediationAI
Patch available per vendor advisory: apply the fixes in the Oracle Critical Patch Update of July 2026 (https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html) to each affected release - 12.2.1.4.0, 14.1.1.0.0, 14.1.2.0.0 and 15.1.1.0.0; Oracle does not publish a discrete fixed build number in the source data, so obtain the exact patch set for your version from the CPU matrix. Because the vector is T3 and IIOP, the strongest compensating control until patching is to restrict these protocols: use a WebLogic Connection Filter (weblogic.security.net.ConnectionFilterImpl) to allow T3/T3S/IIOP only from trusted management hosts, or disable IIOP in the server's Protocols configuration if not required (side effect: breaks CORBA/EJB-over-IIOP clients and some remote JMX/admin tooling). Additionally, block external access to the WebLogic listen and administration ports (default 7001/7002) at the network firewall so T3/IIOP is never reachable from untrusted networks (side effect: remote administrative and cluster traffic must be re-scoped to an internal segment or VPN). These controls reduce exposure but are not a substitute for the CPU patch.
