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 TCP network access to fully compromise the affected instance, per Oracle's July 2026 Critical Patch Update. The flaw carries a 9.8 CVSS and impacts confidentiality, integrity and availability of Coherence 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 has been identified at time of analysis, but the network-reachable, no-authentication profile makes it a high-priority patch.
Technical ContextAI
Oracle Coherence is an in-memory data grid (IMDG) and distributed caching platform bundled with Oracle Fusion Middleware, used for clustering, session replication, and high-scale caching in Java/WebLogic application tiers. Cluster members and clients communicate over TCP (Coherence*Extend / TCMP), and the vulnerability resides in the product's Core component reachable over that network channel. Oracle did not assign a CWE (CWE: N/A), but 'takeover' by an unauthenticated network attacker in an IMDG of this type is historically consistent with unsafe Java deserialization of cluster/client traffic - a common root-cause class for prior Coherence and WebLogic critical flaws; this classification is inferred, not confirmed by Oracle.
RemediationAI
Apply the fixes delivered in the Oracle Critical Patch Update of July 2026 (https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html) for each affected Coherence release - Patch available per vendor advisory; Oracle did not publish a discrete fixed version string in the supplied data, so consult the CPU patch matrix for the exact patch/interim patch number matching your 12.2.1.4.0, 14.1.1.0.0, 14.1.2.0.0 or 15.1.1.0.0 install. Until patched, restrict network exposure of Coherence cluster and Coherence*Extend proxy TCP ports to trusted management segments via firewall/security-group rules and keep Coherence tiers behind network segmentation rather than exposed to general or internet-facing traffic; the trade-off is that overly tight rules can break legitimate cluster membership (TCMP) or Extend client connectivity, so validate member/client reachability after changes. If the platform supports it, enable TLS/SSL and identity/authorization on Coherence*Extend proxies and TCMP to reduce untrusted access, accepting added latency and configuration overhead. These are compensating controls only - patching is the sole reliable fix.
