Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires only TCP network access to a listening Oracle Coherence endpoint (cluster TCMP or Coherence*Extend proxy port); the CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N confirms no authentication and no user interaction are needed, so this is effectively remote unauthenticated exploitation against reachable Coherence instances among supported versions 12.2.1.4.0, 14.1.1.0.0, 14.1.2.0.0 and 15.1.1.0.0. The primary limiting factor is network reachability: Coherence ports are frequently confined to internal application tiers rather than internet-exposed, so realistic risk is highest where cluster/proxy ports are accessible from untrusted networks. No specific non-default feature toggle is named in the description as a precondition, so the exposure is the presence of a network-reachable, unpatched Coherence listener.

Impact

All available signals point to genuine high priority rather than an inflated CVSS. The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H combines network reach, low complexity, no privileges and no user interaction with high impact across all three properties, and Oracle explicitly labels it 'easily exploitable' with 'takeover' as the outcome. Counterbalancing this, no EPSS score, SSVC decision, POC, or KEV entry is present in the input, so there is no public evidence of active exploitation or automation yet - exploitation status is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis.' One inconsistency worth flagging: the Tags label this 'Information Disclosure,' but the description and C:H/I:H/A:H vector describe full compromise, so the tag understates real impact and should not be relied upon. Given a pre-auth network takeover in enterprise middleware, absence of a POC should be treated as a timing gap, not as low risk.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who can reach an exposed Oracle Coherence cluster or Extend proxy port over TCP sends a crafted request to the listener without any credentials, leveraging the low-complexity flaw to gain control of the Coherence process. Because the CVSS vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N with C:H/I:H/A:H, this yields full takeover - reading and tampering with cached data and executing in the middleware context - with no user interaction. No public POC is identified at time of analysis, so a working exploit would currently require independent development.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jul 21, 2026

Unauthenticated remote takeover of Oracle Coherence (a component of Oracle Fusion Middleware, Core component) lets a network attacker with only TCP connectivity fully compromise the affected instance, per Oracle's July 2026 Critical Patch Update. Supported versions 12.2.1.4.0, 14.1.1.0.0, 14.1.2.0.0 and 15.1.1.0.0 are affected, and the CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8 reflects complete loss of confidentiality, integrity and availability. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV, but the 'easily exploitable / unauthenticated' framing makes it a high-priority patch.

RemediationAI

Apply the Oracle Critical Patch Update for July 2026 as the primary fix; Oracle addresses this in the CPU (Patch available per vendor advisory) and the fixed patch levels for versions 12.2.1.4.0, 14.1.1.0.0, 14.1.2.0.0 and 15.1.1.0.0 are documented at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html - no standalone fix-version string is given in the input, so obtain the exact patch number from that advisory. Because exploitation is unauthenticated and network-based, until patching is complete restrict TCP access to Coherence cluster (TCMP) and Coherence*Extend proxy listener ports so they are reachable only from trusted application hosts via firewall or network segmentation, and never expose any Coherence port to untrusted networks or the internet; note that over-restricting these ports can break legitimate cluster membership and Extend clients, so scope rules to known peers. Where supported, enable Coherence transport security (TLS/SSL and identity-based access on Extend proxies) as a compensating control, accepting the configuration and performance overhead. These network controls reduce exposure but are not a substitute for the vendor patch.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Oracle Coherence is an in-memory distributed data grid (IMDG) used for scalable clustered caching, session storage and low-latency data access, commonly deployed alongside Oracle WebLogic Server within Fusion Middleware stacks. Coherence nodes communicate over TCP using cluster (TCMP) and client-facing Coherence*Extend proxy protocols, which historically process serialized Java objects; Oracle attributes the flaw to the 'Core' component. Oracle assigned no CWE (CWE: N/A), so the exact root-cause class is not confirmed in the input - though unauthenticated, network-reachable full-takeover bugs in this product family are typically driven by unsafe deserialization or protocol-handling flaws in the proxy/cluster listeners; this remains inferred, not vendor-stated. The affected product is identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:oracle_corporation:oracle_coherence:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* with no version bound encoded, so the authoritative version list comes from the CPU text.

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

Why It Matters

Oracle Coherence (a core middleware component of Oracle Fusion Middleware) is vulnerable to unauthenticated remote code execution with a CVSS score of 9.8, allowing complete compromise of affected systems. Organizations running Coherence versions 12.2.1.4.0 through 15.1.1.0.0 face immediate risk of data theft, service disruption, and lateral movement into dependent applications without authentication barriers. This affects any enterprise systems relying on Coherence for caching, clustering, or application coordination.

Business Impact: Severe
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Restrict network access to Coherence instances via firewall to known, trusted clients only; (2) disable remote management APIs and JMX ports; (3) segment Coherence clusters into isolated VLANs separate from production workloads; (4) implement per-connection authentication at the network layer using VPN or mTLS reverse proxies; (5) deploy traffic inspection for anomalous Coherence protocol activity; (6) consider temporary service suspension for non-critical instances until patch availability.
