MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Defense Evasion The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires network access to the Oracle GoldenGate Admin Server Executable over HTTPS plus a low-privileged authenticated context (CVSS PR:L) - the attacker needs some valid, low-level access to GoldenGate, not a fully unauthenticated position. No user interaction is required (UI:N) and attack complexity is low (AC:L). Limiting factors for defenders: the Admin Server must be network-reachable by the attacker (network segmentation, firewalling, or restricting the Admin Server to trusted management networks materially reduces exposure), and at least low-tier credentials or session access are needed. Affected deployments are GoldenGate 19.1.0.0.0-19.32.0.0, 21.3-21.23, and 23.4-23.26.3.0.0; instances already patched to the October 2026 CPU fix level are not exposed. |
| Impact | This is a genuinely high-priority vulnerability, not a high-CVSS-but-low-real-risk case. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, 8.8) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity flaw requiring only low privileges and no user interaction that yields full takeover (complete confidentiality, integrity, and availability loss) of the GoldenGate instance. The Admin Server is an administrative/management component typically exposed over HTTPS, so a single low-privileged foothold escalates to total product compromise. Mitigating the urgency: no EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public POC are present in the supplied data, so there is currently no evidence of active or imminent widespread exploitation - exploitation status is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis.' The signals are therefore consistent rather than conflicting: a severe, easily exploitable flaw with no confirmed exploitation yet. As an Oracle Critical Patch Update item, it should be patched in the next CPU cycle; the window between CPU disclosure and reverse-engineered exploits for Oracle products is historically short, so treat the absence of a POC as a transient state, not as reassurance. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who holds (or phishes/brute-forces) a low-privileged GoldenGate account, or who reaches the Admin Server from an adjacent network segment, sends crafted HTTPS requests to the Admin Server Executable to abuse the flaw and gain full administrative control of the GoldenGate deployment. No user interaction or victim action is needed, and attack complexity is low. No public exploit code has been identified in the provided data, so this scenario is inferred from the CVSS vector rather than demonstrated. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 21, 2026
Takeover of Oracle GoldenGate is possible through its Admin Server Executable, where a low-privileged authenticated attacker with HTTPS network access can achieve high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact (CVSS 8.8). Affected deployments are GoldenGate 19.1.0.0.0 through 19.32.0.0, 21.3 through 21.23, and 23.4 through 23.26.3.0.0, while instances patched to the October 2026 CPU fix level are not exposed. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, but low attack complexity and network reachability make timely patching important.
RemediationAI
Apply the Oracle Critical Patch Update October 2026 (https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpuoct2026.html) to bring GoldenGate to a fixed CPU level; instances already patched to that October 2026 fix level are not exposed. Until patching is complete, restrict HTTPS access to the Admin Server Executable to trusted management networks and firewall it from untrusted segments, allowing only specific administrative hosts because broad restriction can break remote administration. Enforce least privilege and review low-privileged GoldenGate accounts, rotate credentials, and monitor Admin Server logs for anomalous authenticated requests. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, so these controls are precautionary but directly reduce the PR:L network attack path.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle GoldenGate is a data replication and integration platform, and the Admin Server Executable provides an HTTPS management interface used to administer the deployment. The issue is reachable over HTTPS by an attacker who already holds low-privileged credentials or session access (CVSS PR:L), with no user interaction required and low attack complexity. Successful exploitation produces high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability with unchanged scope, consistent with full takeover of the GoldenGate deployment. The provided data does not include a CWE mapping or CPE strings, so the precise root-cause class is not confirmed; exposure is limited to the Admin Server component in GoldenGate 19.1.0.0.0 through 19.32.0.0, 21.3 through 21.23, and 23.4 through 23.26.3.0.0. Because the Admin Server must be network-reachable for exploitation, segmentation or firewalling of that HTTPS interface materially reduces exposure.

DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in Oracle GoldenGate (component: Admin Server Executable). Supported versions that are affected are 19.1.0.0.0-19.32.0.0, 21.3-21.23 and 23.4-23.26.3.0.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via HTTPS to compromise Oracle GoldenGate. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle GoldenGate. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 8.8 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
Executive ViewAI
Oracle GoldenGate's Admin Server Executable contains a high-severity vulnerability (CVSS 8.8) that could let a low-privileged user with HTTPS network access take over the replication platform, severely impacting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data moving between production systems. Organizations running affected 19.x, 21.x, or 23.x GoldenGate deployments should prioritize this because GoldenGate often sits on the path of sensitive data flows, so a compromise could disrupt operations and corrupt data pipelines. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, but a vendor-released patch has not been identified, so exposure reduction and monitoring are critical.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; interim mitigations include restricting HTTPS access to the Admin Server via network ACLs or segmentation, enforcing least-privilege accounts, monitoring Admin Server logs for anomalous activity, and isolating affected GoldenGate deployments from untrusted networks.
