DescriptionCVE.org

Vulnerability in the Oracle WebCenter Sites product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: WebCenter Sites). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.0.0. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle WebCenter Sites. While the vulnerability is in Oracle WebCenter Sites, attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle WebCenter Sites. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 9.0 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H).

AnalysisAI

Full product takeover in Oracle WebCenter Sites (versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.0.0) allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to compromise the platform over HTTP, with attacks capable of spilling beyond WebCenter Sites into other products due to a security scope change. Rated CVSS 9.0, the flaw yields complete confidentiality, integrity, and availability loss, though the high attack complexity (AC:H) means exploitation is non-trivial. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires network access to the WebCenter Sites HTTP interface and no authentication or user interaction (AV:N/PR:N/UI:N), but is gated by high attack complexity (AC:H): the attacker must satisfy conditions outside their direct control - such as specific timing, configuration state, or a required preparatory step - which is why Oracle labels it 'difficult to exploit.' Limiting factors that reduce realistic risk: only versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.0.0 are stated as affected; the target instance's vulnerable HTTP endpoint must be network-reachable to the attacker; and the AC:H barrier meaningfully raises the skill/effort threshold versus a trivial unauthenticated exploit. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment Signals are mixed and must be weighed carefully. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Apply the fixes delivered in the Oracle Critical Patch Update of August 2026, referenced at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cspuaug2026.html - Patch available per vendor advisory; consult that CPU matrix for the exact patch/interim patch numbers corresponding to WebCenter Sites 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.0.0, as no discrete fixed build string was included in the source data. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: Identify and inventory all systems running Oracle WebCenter Sites versions 12.2.1.4.0 or 14.1.2.0.0, prioritizing instances exposed to untrusted networks or the internet. …
