Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.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).
AnalysisAI
Remote takeover of Oracle Coherence (Core component of Oracle Fusion Middleware) allows an unauthenticated attacker with network TCP access to fully compromise the affected instance across confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Oracle rates this 9.8 and describes it as easily exploitable against supported versions 12.2.1.4.0, 14.1.1.0.0, 14.1.2.0.0, and 15.1.1.0.0. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, but the low-complexity, no-authentication profile makes it a high-priority patch item from the July 2026 Critical Patch Update.
Technical ContextAI
Oracle Coherence is a distributed in-memory data grid and caching platform bundled with Oracle Fusion Middleware and frequently embedded via WebLogic Server to scale stateful Java applications across clustered nodes. Cluster and proxy communication occurs over TCP (Coherence cluster ports and the Coherence*Extend proxy), which is the network surface implicated by the AV:N/TCP vector. The advisory does not assign a CWE (CWE: N/A), but full C/I/A 'takeover' against a Java middleware data grid is consistent with the unsafe-deserialization or unauthenticated remote-protocol handling class historically seen in Coherence and Fusion Middleware - this remains an inference, since Oracle's CPU entries deliberately omit technical root-cause detail. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:oracle_corporation:oracle_coherence:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* confirms the affected product is Coherence itself rather than a specific sub-component.
RemediationAI
Apply the Oracle Critical Patch Update of July 2026, which contains the fix for the affected 12.2.1.4.0, 14.1.1.0.0, 14.1.2.0.0, and 15.1.1.0.0 baselines; consult the exact patch and interim-patch numbers per version in the advisory at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html (patch available per vendor advisory - no standalone fix version string is provided in the input, so use Oracle's CPU patch matrix). Until patching is complete, restrict network access to Coherence cluster and Coherence*Extend proxy TCP ports so they are reachable only from trusted application hosts via firewall or network segmentation, which blocks untrusted clients but will break any legitimate cross-network cluster or client connectivity that is not explicitly allowlisted. Where the Coherence*Extend proxy is not required, disable that exposed proxy service, and never expose Coherence ports to the internet; validate these controls against your clustering topology first, as over-restriction can partition a live data grid.
