| Exploitation Conditions | No special conditions beyond network reachability - remote unauthenticated exploitation over TCP against Oracle Coherence (Core component) as described by AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N. The concrete prerequisite is TCP network access to a Coherence cluster or Coherence*Extend proxy listener; the practical limiting factor is that these listener ports are typically deployed on internal/back-end networks rather than Internet-facing, so realistic risk hinges on whether the Coherence TCP ports are reachable from the attacker's position. Only the listed supported versions (12.2.1.4.0, 14.1.1.0.0, 14.1.2.0.0, 15.1.1.0.0) are stated as affected. |
| Impact | The signals are strongly and consistently high-risk: the CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H (9.8) indicates remote, low-complexity, unauthenticated exploitation with no user interaction and full CIA impact, and Oracle explicitly labels it 'easily exploitable' resulting in 'takeover.' This is a genuine priority, not a high-CVSS-but-low-real-risk issue. However, some signals are simply absent rather than reassuring: no EPSS score was provided, there is no SSVC decision record, the CVE is not in CISA KEV, and no public POC has been identified - so active-exploitation and automatability cannot be confirmed from the input. One minor note: Oracle's own tags label this 'Information Disclosure,' which conflicts with the described full 'takeover' and I:H/A:H impacts; the CVSS vector and 'takeover' wording should be treated as authoritative over the tag. Overall, treat as critical and patch immediately. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who can reach a Coherence cluster or Coherence*Extend proxy TCP port from the network sends a crafted request to the Core listener and, without any credentials or user interaction, gains code execution or full control over the Coherence instance and its cached data. Because the vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, exploitation requires only network reachability and low complexity; no public POC has been identified at time of analysis, but the low bar makes weaponization feasible if reachable. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 21, 2026
Full compromise of Oracle Coherence (Core component) allows an unauthenticated attacker with TCP network access to take over affected installations, per Oracle's July 2026 Critical Patch Update. Oracle rates this CVSS 9.8 with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact and describes it as 'easily exploitable,' affecting Coherence 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, but the unauthenticated network vector combined with 'takeover' impact makes this a top-priority patch.
RemediationAI
Apply the fixes delivered in the Oracle July 2026 Critical Patch Update as documented at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html (Patch available per vendor advisory; Oracle CPUs ship cumulative patches per affected version 12.2.1.4.0, 14.1.1.0.0, 14.1.2.0.0, and 15.1.1.0.0 - apply the CPU patch corresponding to your installed release). Until patching is complete, restrict network exposure of Coherence cluster and proxy (Coherence*Extend) TCP listener ports to trusted management segments only via firewall/security-group rules and disable any Internet or untrusted-network exposure of these ports; where Coherence*Extend proxy access is not required, disable the proxy service, and enable TLS/SSL and authorized-host filtering on cluster and extend listeners. The trade-off is that tightening host filtering or disabling proxy services can break legitimate remote clients and cluster members, so validate connectivity for authorized nodes before enforcing.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle Coherence is a distributed in-memory data grid and caching platform bundled with Oracle Fusion Middleware, used to scale application state across clustered JVMs via its own TCP-based cluster and proxy (Coherence*Extend/TCMP) protocols. The flaw resides in the Core component and is reachable over TCP without authentication. Oracle did not assign a CWE (CWE: N/A), but 'takeover' via an unauthenticated network protocol in a Java data-grid product is characteristically consistent with unsafe deserialization of untrusted data or a protocol-level injection in the cluster/proxy listener - a common root-cause class in Java middleware. The single affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:oracle_corporation:oracle_coherence, spanning multiple supported release trains.

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 critical enterprise component used for distributed data caching, is subject to unauthenticated remote takeover via network access. Installations running versions 12.2.1.4.0 through 15.1.1.0.0 face immediate risk of full infrastructure compromise with no available patch, requiring urgent containment until vendor remediation.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Implement network segmentation and firewall rules to allow only authorized hosts to connect to Coherence clusters; disable external network access entirely if business operations permit; deploy enhanced monitoring and intrusion detection to identify compromise attempts; consider temporary workload relocation to alternative infrastructure for business-critical applications if feasible.
