| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires only network/TCP reachability to a listening Oracle Coherence Core service on version 15.1.1.0.0 - per the CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N there is no authentication or user interaction requirement, so no special conditions beyond reaching an exposed Coherence listener port against a default-affected deployment. What limits exploitation in practice is network exposure: Coherence grids are commonly deployed on internal/segmented back-end networks, so an attacker must already have a route to the cluster's TCP ports (e.g., Extend proxy or TCMP), and only the specific supported version 15.1.1.0.0 is named as affected. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:H yields 8.6, driven by unauthenticated network reachability, low complexity, and a high availability impact (complete DOS) plus partial confidentiality and integrity loss. Oracle explicitly calls it 'easily exploitable,' reinforcing the AC:L/PR:N reading. However, no EPSS score, SSVC decision, KEV entry, or POC was provided, so real-world exploitation likelihood cannot be quantified from the data - the high score reflects potential, not observed, activity. The dominant impact is availability: an attacker most reliably achieves a hang or repeatable crash, with data read/modify limited to 'a subset' / 'some' of accessible data, so treat this primarily as a DoS risk to any Coherence cluster whose TCP ports are network-reachable. Priority should be scaled by exposure: internet- or broadly-network-exposed Coherence listeners warrant urgent patching, while tightly segmented internal grids are lower urgency despite the high base score. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who can reach a Coherence TCP listener port sends crafted network traffic to the grid and triggers a hang or repeatedly crashing condition, taking the cache/cluster offline (complete DOS) for dependent Fusion Middleware applications. The same access can be leveraged to read a subset of, and insert/update/delete some of, the data the grid manages. No credentials or user interaction are required, though no public POC has been identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 21, 2026
Denial-of-service with data tampering in Oracle Coherence 15.1.1.0.0 (Fusion Middleware Core) lets an unauthenticated network attacker hang or repeatedly crash the in-memory data grid over TCP, while also gaining limited unauthorized read and write access to a subset of grid-managed data. Rated CVSS 3.1 8.6 by Oracle and described as 'easily exploitable,' the flaw requires no authentication or user interaction. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
RemediationAI
Apply the fixes from the Oracle Critical Patch Update of July 2026 (https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html); the input does not specify an exact patched build number, so Patch available per vendor advisory - obtain the precise patch for Coherence 15.1.1.0.0 from that CPU. Until patched, reduce exposure by restricting network access to Coherence TCP listener ports (Coherence*Extend proxy and TCMP cluster ports) using firewall/security-group rules so only trusted cluster members and application tiers can reach them, and place the grid behind network segmentation rather than any externally reachable interface. Where supported, enable Coherence transport security (TLS/SSL and client authentication on Extend proxies) to limit which clients can send traffic; the trade-off is added configuration and potential latency, and access-restriction controls can break clients that legitimately connect from newly-blocked network ranges, so validate cluster membership and client connectivity after changes.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle Coherence is Oracle's distributed in-memory data grid used within Fusion Middleware for caching, clustering, and low-latency data access; affected component is the Core. Cluster members and clients communicate over TCP (Coherence*Extend / TCMP), and this class of Oracle Coherence issue typically stems from processing of untrusted network traffic reaching a listening grid port. No CWE was assigned in the input, but the CVSS profile (A:H with partial C:L/I:L) and Oracle's 'complete DOS' language point to a resource-exhaustion / improper-input-handling defect in the network message processing path rather than a full memory-corruption RCE. The only CPE provided is cpe:2.3:a:oracle_corporation:oracle_coherence:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, which does not itself pin the affected version - Oracle's text specifies 15.1.1.0.0.

DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the Oracle Coherence product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: Core). The supported version that is affected is 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 unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of Oracle Coherence as well as unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle Coherence accessible data and unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle Coherence accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 8.6 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:H).
Executive ViewAI
Oracle Coherence 15.1.1.0.0, a critical data infrastructure component in Fusion Middleware, faces a security vulnerability allowing external attackers to crash systems and access sensitive cached data without logging in. Affected organizations risk significant application downtime and potential data breach if systems connect to untrusted networks. Immediate network isolation is essential pending vendor patch availability.
Restrict network access to Coherence TCP ports (default 7574) via firewall to only trusted internal subnets; implement host-based access controls limiting connections to authorized cluster members only; enable detailed audit logging for cluster topology changes, node failures, connection attempts, and anomalous data queries; configure automated alerting for cluster node failures, unexpected shutdowns, connection spikes, and unauthorized data access patterns; maintain offline backups of all critical in-memory grid data to enable recovery without data loss; test and document disaster recovery procedures to restore service within your RTO if cluster nodes are compromised.
