CWE
MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Initial Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Attacker must (1) have network reachability to the WebCenter Sites HTTP/HTTPS interface, (2) possess valid credentials for at least a low-privileged WebCenter Sites role (PR:L - anonymous access is insufficient), and (3) satisfy the AC:H preconditions implied by Oracle, meaning the exploit is not reliable against a default configuration and likely depends on specific tenant/site setup, race conditions, or chained state that the attacker does not directly control. No user interaction is required (UI:N) and scope is unchanged (S:U), so compromise is bounded to the WebCenter Sites instance itself; the vulnerability cannot be triggered without an authenticated session, which is the primary limiting factor. |
| Impact | The signals are mixed and point to a moderate-priority issue rather than an emergency. CVSS 3.1 is 7.5 (High) driven by full C/I/A impact, but the vector AV:N/AC:H/PR:L materially lowers real-world exploitability: an attacker needs at least a low-privileged WebCenter Sites account AND must satisfy conditions outside their control (AC:H), which historically corresponds to specific configuration, timing, or chained preconditions. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public POC have been reported, and the only reference is Oracle's own June 2026 CPU advisory. The 'Information Disclosure' tag conflicts with the vendor's 'takeover' impact wording - trust the CVSS vector and Oracle text (C:H/I:H/A:H = full takeover) over the tag. Net: prioritize patching ahead of routine maintenance for internet-exposed or multi-tenant WebCenter Sites instances, but it is not in the same tier as an unauthenticated RCE. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has obtained or been provisioned a low-privileged WebCenter Sites account - for example a contributor or limited editor role on a customer-facing CMS - authenticates over HTTP and issues a crafted request to a vulnerable Sites endpoint, triggering the flaw under the specific conditions required by AC:H. After successful exploitation the attacker escalates to full control of the WebCenter Sites instance, allowing content tampering, theft of unpublished content and credentials, and disruption of the site. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, so this scenario is plausible based on the vendor's takeover language rather than demonstrated code. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jun 16, 2026
Takeover of Oracle WebCenter Sites 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.0.0 is possible when a low-privileged attacker with HTTP network access successfully chains a high-complexity exploit path in the WebCenter Sites component, resulting in full confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromise. Oracle's June 2026 Critical Patch Update disclosure rates this CVSS 7.5 with AC:H/PR:L, meaning a valid (even low-tier) account plus non-trivial conditions are required. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.
RemediationAI
Apply the fixes shipped in Oracle's June 2026 Critical Patch Update for WebCenter Sites 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.0.0 as documented at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cspujun2026.html - Oracle does not publish individual fix build numbers in CVE text, so use the CPU patch IDs listed in the advisory matrix and the My Oracle Support note it references. Until patches are applied, restrict HTTP/HTTPS access to the WebCenter Sites admin and contributor interfaces to trusted networks via WAF or reverse-proxy ACLs (trade-off: blocks legitimate remote editors), tighten provisioning so that low-privileged accounts are not handed out broadly and audit existing low-tier accounts for disuse (trade-off: operational overhead, may delay onboarding), and enable detailed access logging on the Sites servlet endpoints to detect anomalous requests from authenticated users. Generic 'defense in depth' is not sufficient here because PR:L means any existing low-tier account is a potential exploit vehicle.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle WebCenter Sites is a Java-based web experience management (WCM) platform within Oracle Fusion Middleware used to author, manage, and deliver dynamic web content; it exposes administrative and delivery interfaces over HTTP/HTTPS and integrates with Oracle WebLogic Server. The affected CPE cpe:2.3:a:oracle_corporation:oracle_webcenter_sites covers all builds of the 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.0.0 release trains. No CWE is published by Oracle for this CVE, which is typical of Oracle CPU disclosures; the 'takeover' language combined with full C/I/A impact at unchanged scope suggests an authenticated logic, deserialization, or injection flaw in a WebCenter Sites HTTP-reachable endpoint rather than a pre-auth bug, but the exact root-cause class is not disclosed by the vendor.

CVSS VectorNVD
DescriptionNVD
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 low privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle WebCenter Sites. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle WebCenter Sites. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 7.5 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
Executive ViewAI
Oracle WebCenter Sites versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.0.0 contain a critical vulnerability that enables low-privileged users to completely compromise the system, including unauthorized data access and operational disruption. The attack requires a valid user account and specific technical conditions, limiting but not eliminating risk to organizations running these versions. With no vendor patch currently available, immediate mitigation and upgrade planning are essential.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: restrict network access to trusted networks only; enforce strict access controls limiting low-privilege user provisioning; audit and document all user accounts; implement multi-factor authentication for system administrators; monitor application logs for exploitation attempts; establish web application firewall rules if feasible to constrain attack chains.
