AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Adjacent segment access is required (AV:A) but no auth or interaction (PR:N/UI:N) and low complexity, and takeover yields full C/I/A impact.

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 access to the physical communication segment attached to the hardware where the Oracle Coherence executes to compromise Oracle Coherence. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle Coherence. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 8.8 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
AnalysisAI
Full compromise of Oracle Coherence (Core component) is possible for an unauthenticated attacker who can reach the cluster's physical communication segment, per Oracle's July 2026 Critical Patch Update. Affected releases 12.2.1.4.0, 14.1.1.0.0, 14.1.2.0.0, and 15.1.1.0.0 can be taken over completely, yielding high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact (CVSS 8.8, AV:A). No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the flaw is not listed in CISA KEV, but Oracle rates it 'easily exploitable' with no privileges or user interaction required.
Technical ContextAI
Oracle Coherence is a distributed in-memory data grid and caching platform bundled with Oracle Fusion Middleware, used to scale Java application state across a cluster. Cluster members discover and communicate with each other over Coherence's TCMP (Tangosol Cluster Management Protocol) traffic on a shared network segment, which is exactly the 'physical communication segment' the CVSS Adjacent (AV:A) vector points to. The affected 'Core' component handles this intra-cluster messaging, and a takeover outcome combined with the 'Information Disclosure' tag is consistent with an unsafe-deserialization or trust-of-cluster-peer class of flaw, though Oracle did not assign a CWE (CWE: N/A), so the precise root cause is not confirmed in the available data. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:oracle_corporation:oracle_coherence:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* confirms the affected product but does not enumerate version boundaries; those come from the description.
RemediationAI
Apply the fixes delivered in the Oracle July 2026 Critical Patch Update (https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html); Patch available per vendor advisory, though an exact fixed build number is not stated in the provided data, so consult the CPU matrix for the specific patch corresponding to your Coherence release (12.2.1.4.0, 14.1.1.0.0, 14.1.2.0.0, or 15.1.1.0.0). Because the vector is Adjacent, the most effective compensating control until patching is to isolate Coherence cluster (TCMP) traffic onto a dedicated, firewalled VLAN or backend segment and restrict which hosts can join or reach that segment - this directly removes the attacker's required position but must be validated so legitimate cluster members are not partitioned. Additional hardening includes enabling Coherence's well-known-addresses (WKA) and TLS/SSL for cluster and Extend communication and restricting Extend proxy listener ports to trusted clients, with the trade-off of added configuration and certificate management overhead. Do not rely on internet-edge firewalls alone, since the threat model is an attacker already on the local segment.
