AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N
Authenticated low-privilege attacker over HTTP needs a second user's interaction (PR:L, UI:R); auth boundary crossed (S:C) yields high confidentiality and integrity loss with no availability impact.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the Oracle WebCenter Content product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: Content Server). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.0.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle WebCenter Content. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and while the vulnerability is in Oracle WebCenter Content, attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or all Oracle WebCenter Content accessible data as well as unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle WebCenter Content accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 8.7 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N).
AnalysisAI
Scope-changing data compromise in Oracle WebCenter Content (Content Server component) versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.0.0 lets a low-privileged, network-based attacker read, create, delete, or modify all data accessible to the application. Exploitation is rated easy but requires tricking a separate user into an interaction (UI:R), and the flaw crosses a trust boundary to significantly impact additional products (scope change). No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and it is not on CISA KEV; EPSS was not provided.
Technical ContextAI
Oracle WebCenter Content is the enterprise content management (ECM) platform within Oracle Fusion Middleware; the affected sub-component is the Content Server, which handles document ingestion, storage, metadata, and retrieval over HTTP. The vulnerability sits in this HTTP-facing layer, and Oracle's scope-change (S:C) designation indicates the exploited authorization context differs from the impacted one - consistent with the vendor's 'Authentication Bypass' tag, meaning an attacker's action can be leveraged to reach data or products beyond their own authorization boundary. No CWE was assigned by NVD; the combination of a required interaction from another user plus authorization crossing (auth bypass/scope change) is characteristic of session-riding or confused-deputy weaknesses (e.g., CSRF-style or improper access control), but the exact root-cause class is not confirmed in the source data.
RemediationAI
Apply the fixes delivered in the Oracle Critical Patch Update of July 2026 (Vendor-released patch: Oracle CPU July 2026) as documented at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html, which is the primary and authoritative remediation for both affected releases (12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.0.0); Oracle does not publish standalone fixed build numbers outside the CPU, so track the CPU patch identifiers for your specific version. Because Oracle explicitly warns against running unsupported/unpatched configurations, prioritize the CPU over interim measures. Until patching completes, reduce exposure by restricting network access to the Content Server HTTP endpoints to trusted internal networks or via VPN/reverse-proxy allowlisting (trade-off: may block legitimate remote or partner access), and - given the required cross-user interaction and scope-change/auth-bypass nature - enforce anti-CSRF protections, tighten session handling, and warn privileged users against following untrusted links into the WebCenter Content UI (trade-off: user-behavior controls are imperfect and do not fully close the flaw). No independent alternative patch source exists beyond the Oracle CPU.
