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 TCP reachability to the Oracle Coherence Core component on an affected version (12.2.1.4.0, 14.1.1.0.0, 14.1.2.0.0, or 15.1.1.0.0); per the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) there are no special conditions - remote unauthenticated exploitation is possible with no authentication and no user interaction. The main limiting factor is network exposure: Coherence cluster/Extend ports are frequently bound to internal or management networks rather than the public internet, so realistic risk hinges on whether an attacker can reach those TCP ports. Only the four named supported versions are stated as affected. |
| Impact | All available signals point to high real-world risk: the CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, score 9.8) describes network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated exploitation with total impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability, and Oracle itself characterizes the flaw as 'easily exploitable.' No EPSS score, SSVC decision, KEV listing, or POC was supplied, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified from the input; the absence of these signals should not be read as low risk given the vector. One inconsistency to verify: the advisory tags say 'Information Disclosure,' whereas the description says the attack results in 'takeover of Oracle Coherence' (C:H/I:H/A:H) - the CVSS impact metrics and prose take precedence, so this should be treated as a full-compromise vulnerability, not merely disclosure. This is a genuine priority rather than a high-CVSS-but-low-real-risk case, primarily because Coherence's clustering ports are often reachable from internal networks and the exploit requires no authentication or user interaction. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who can reach a Coherence node's TCP cluster or Extend port from the internal network (or an exposed perimeter) sends a crafted request to the Core component and, without any credentials or user interaction, achieves takeover of the Coherence instance and the data grid it serves. Given the low attack complexity Oracle describes, exploitation would likely be scriptable once technical details are public, though no public POC is currently identified. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 21, 2026
Complete takeover of Oracle Coherence is possible by an unauthenticated remote attacker over TCP, affecting the Core component in Fusion Middleware versions 12.2.1.4.0, 14.1.1.0.0, 14.1.2.0.0, and 15.1.1.0.0. Oracle rates this 'easily exploitable' with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8 and full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and it is not listed in CISA KEV, but the low attack complexity and unauthenticated network vector make it a high-priority patch item.
RemediationAI
Apply the fixes delivered in the Oracle Critical Patch Update of July 2026 as the primary remediation; consult https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html and apply the corresponding CPU patch for your exact Coherence version (12.2.1.4.0, 14.1.1.0.0, 14.1.2.0.0, or 15.1.1.0.0), as Oracle does not publish standalone semantic fix versions here - the patch is identified by the CPU rather than a discrete version string, so no independent fix-version number is asserted. Until patched, restrict network exposure of Coherence cluster and management TCP ports (for example the Coherence Extend/TCMP ports and any management endpoints) to trusted hosts only via firewall/security-group ACLs, and place Coherence nodes on an isolated cluster network segment; the trade-off is that overly tight ACLs can break legitimate cluster membership or Extend client connectivity, so validate against your topology. Where supported, enforce TLS/SSL and authentication on Coherence Extend and cluster communication to reduce the unauthenticated attack surface, accepting the configuration and performance overhead this introduces.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle Coherence is a Java-based in-memory data grid and distributed caching platform used within Oracle Fusion Middleware for clustering, session replication, and low-latency data access across application tiers. The affected 'Core' component handles cluster membership, inter-node communication, and object serialization/deserialization over TCP, which is the historically common attack surface for Coherence flaws (untrusted deserialization leading to remote code execution and full node compromise). Oracle did not assign a CWE (CWE: N/A) and the advisory tags label this 'Information Disclosure,' but the description explicitly states 'takeover,' indicating impact well beyond disclosure - the tag likely reflects a coarse classification rather than the true worst-case impact. The single CPE provided, cpe:2.3:a:oracle_corporation:oracle_coherence:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, is version-wildcarded and does not by itself delimit the affected range.

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 Core, a foundational component within Fusion Middleware versions 12.2.1.4.0 through 15.1.1.0.0, is vulnerable to unauthenticated remote complete system takeover affecting confidentiality, integrity, and availability of enterprise data. Organizations running these versions face immediate risk of unauthorized access, data breach, and service disruption without authentication barriers or network access restrictions. No vendor patch is currently available, requiring urgent interim control deployment while awaiting Oracle remediation.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Enforce strict network segmentation and ACLs to limit Coherence TCP port access to essential internal systems only; (2) Disable all external network access to Coherence where operationally possible, restricting to internal communication only; (3) Layer authentication at perimeter systems (WAF, reverse proxies) for any external-facing applications dependent on Coherence; (4) Enable comprehensive audit logging and anomaly detection on Coherence processes to identify exploitation attempts; (5) Maintain current offline backups of Coherence-managed data; (6) Establish incident response procedures with clear escalation protocols specific to this vulnerability. These controls reduce attack surface but do not eliminate the underlying vulnerability-vendor patch is the required long-term remediation.
