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 unauthenticated 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 9.3 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N).
AnalysisAI
Cross-scope compromise of Oracle WebCenter Content (Content Server component) in Fusion Middleware releases 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.0.0 lets a remote, unauthenticated attacker read and tamper with all Content Server data and pivot into other connected products. Exploitation is network-based over HTTP and requires luring a victim to trigger the attack (UI:R), with a resulting CVSS 3.1 score of 9.3 driven by a scope change and High confidentiality/integrity impact. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; this entry is disclosed via Oracle's July 2026 Critical Patch Update and is not listed in CISA KEV.
Technical ContextAI
Oracle WebCenter Content is an enterprise content management (ECM) platform; the affected code lives in its Content Server component, which handles document ingestion, check-in/check-out, metadata, and rendering, and is typically fronted by an HTTP interface. The Oracle-supplied tag 'Authentication Bypass' combined with a CVSS scope change (S:C) and the note that 'attacks may significantly impact additional products' suggests a server-side request or trust-boundary flaw (e.g., SSRF/XXE/redirect or forged authentication context) where Content Server is coerced into acting against other integrated Fusion Middleware systems. No CWE was assigned in the source data, so the precise root-cause class is not formally classified; the mechanics are inferred from the CVSS vector and vendor tag rather than a detailed advisory.
RemediationAI
Apply the fixes delivered in the Oracle July 2026 Critical Patch Update (https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html); this is treated as Patch available per vendor advisory, as the source data cites the CPU rather than a specific patched build number, so confirm the exact patch/bundle for your 12.2.1.4.0 or 14.1.2.0.0 installation directly from Oracle. Until patched, reduce exposure by restricting network access to the Content Server HTTP interface to trusted internal networks or a VPN and placing it behind a reverse proxy/WAF that filters malformed or cross-origin requests (trade-off: may block legitimate integrations and external content contributors). Because exploitation requires victim interaction, reinforce anti-phishing controls and warn administrators/content managers against following untrusted WebCenter links (trade-off: procedural control only, does not remove the flaw). Do not rely on these compensating controls as a substitute for the CPU patch.
