| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires network TCP reachability to an Oracle Coherence Core listener - typically the cluster (TCMP) port or a Coherence*Extend proxy port - on one of the affected versions (12.2.1.4.0, 14.1.1.0.0, 14.1.2.0.0, 15.1.1.0.0). Per the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), no authentication, no user interaction, and no special non-default configuration are documented as prerequisites, so this is effectively unauthenticated remote exploitation of a reachable Coherence instance. The primary limiting factor is network exposure: environments that keep Coherence cluster/proxy ports on isolated internal segments substantially reduce reachable attack surface, whereas any internet- or untrusted-network-exposed proxy is directly at risk. |
| Impact | This is a genuine high-priority issue rather than an inflated CVSS number: the vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H describes network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated exploitation with full CIA impact, and Oracle explicitly calls it 'easily exploitable,' which aligns with a real automatable threat. No EPSS score, KEV listing, POC, or SSVC decision data was provided, so exploitation probability and active-exploitation status cannot be quantified - treat this as high-severity-by-signal but unproven-in-the-wild. One data inconsistency to verify: the intelligence Tags label this 'Information Disclosure,' while the description states full 'takeover' with H/H/H impact; the description and CVSS should be treated as authoritative and the tag as an under-classification. Because Coherence proxy/cluster ports are often internally exposed, real-world risk depends heavily on whether the listener is reachable from untrusted networks. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with TCP reachability to a Coherence cluster or Coherence*Extend proxy port sends a crafted request to the exposed Core listener without any credentials, triggering the flaw to gain code execution or full control of the Coherence process. Because no user interaction or authentication is needed and complexity is low, this could be scripted against exposed instances; however, no public POC or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 21, 2026
Full takeover of Oracle Coherence (Oracle Fusion Middleware, Core component) allows an unauthenticated remote attacker with TCP network access to compromise the affected instance, per Oracle's July 2026 Critical Patch Update. The flaw carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8 with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, and Oracle rates it 'easily exploitable.' Affected releases are 12.2.1.4.0, 14.1.1.0.0, 14.1.2.0.0, and 15.1.1.0.0; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
RemediationAI
Apply the fixes from the Oracle Critical Patch Update - July 2026 (https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html) to each affected release train (12.2.1.4.0, 14.1.1.0.0, 14.1.2.0.0, 15.1.1.0.0); the input does not include a specific patched build number, so consult the CPU matrix for the exact patch ID per version and do not deploy an invented version string. As Patch available per vendor advisory, prioritize internet-exposed and DMZ-facing Coherence instances first. Compensating controls until patching completes: restrict Coherence*Extend proxy and TCMP cluster ports to trusted management subnets via firewall/network ACLs (trade-off: breaks external Coherence clients that connect over those ports); place Coherence behind a segmented network so the proxy listener is unreachable from user or internet zones; and if Coherence*Extend is not required, disable the proxy service in the cache configuration (trade-off: remote client access is lost). Enable and monitor logging on the proxy/cluster listeners for anomalous connections.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle Coherence is a distributed in-memory data grid and caching platform bundled with Oracle Fusion Middleware and commonly deployed alongside Oracle WebLogic Server for stateful clustering and session/data replication. Cluster members and clients communicate over TCP (Coherence*Extend / TCMP protocols), and the vulnerability resides in the 'Core' component reachable over that network path. No CWE was assigned in the input, but the combination of unauthenticated network access, low complexity, and full-system takeover is consistent with an unsafe-deserialization or protocol-processing flaw in the cluster/proxy listener - a class historically seen in Coherence and WebLogic; this root cause is inferred from the CVSS vector and impact, not confirmed by Oracle's public wording.

DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the Oracle Coherence product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: Core). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.1.4.0, 14.1.1.0.0, 14.1.2.0.0 and 15.1.1.0.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via TCP to compromise Oracle Coherence. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle Coherence. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 9.8 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
Executive ViewAI
Oracle Coherence, a core middleware component in Oracle Fusion systems, contains a critical vulnerability (CVE-2026-60197, CVSS 9.8) enabling unauthenticated remote attackers to achieve complete system takeover. Organizations running vulnerable versions (12.2.1.4.0, 14.1.1.0.0, 14.1.2.0.0, or 15.1.1.0.0) face immediate risk of total data compromise and operational shutdown. All Oracle Fusion users should treat this as a critical infrastructure threat requiring emergency response.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Implement interim mitigations: restrict all inbound TCP connections to Coherence service ports through firewall rules, limiting access to known administrative and internal systems only; disable remote management capabilities if not operationally required; deploy network segmentation to isolate affected Coherence instances from external and untrusted network segments; enable centralized logging and real-time alerting for unexpected connection attempts to Coherence ports; maintain daily vulnerability scans to detect if exploitation activity occurs; consider operational suspension of non-critical Coherence deployments until patches become available.
