| Exploitation Conditions | The affected Oracle Coherence node must expose a reachable TCP listener (Coherence*Extend proxy or cluster port) to the attacker, and must run one of versions 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), no authentication, no user interaction, and no special non-default configuration are stated to be required - remote unauthenticated exploitation against any reachable Coherence listener. The dominant limiting factor is network reachability of the Coherence TCP port: deployments that confine cluster/Extend ports to isolated internal networks behind firewalls substantially reduce exposure, and Extend proxy authentication or TLS would further constrain an attacker. |
| Impact | All available severity signals point to top-tier priority: the CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H yields 9.8, meaning remote, unauthenticated, low-complexity exploitation with no user interaction and total compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability, reinforced by Oracle's own 'easily exploitable' and 'takeover' wording. However, no EPSS score was supplied, the CVE is NOT in CISA KEV, and no POC has been identified, so there is no current evidence of active or imminent exploitation - the risk is severe-but-not-yet-observed rather than confirmed in the wild. Note a conflict in the input: the tags label this 'Information Disclosure', which contradicts the vector's full C/I/A takeover impact; the CVSS vector and Oracle's 'takeover' description should be trusted over the tag. Given Coherence's network-facing ports and the low exploitation barrier, this warrants emergency patch prioritization despite the absence of a public exploit. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker able to reach a Coherence Extend proxy or cluster TCP port sends a crafted request to the exposed listener without any credentials, triggering the Core-component flaw and gaining control over the Coherence node and its cached data. No user interaction or prior foothold is required (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), so an internet-exposed or lateral-network-reachable listener could be compromised directly. No public POC has been identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 21, 2026
Remote takeover of Oracle Coherence (the Core component of Oracle Fusion Middleware) allows an unauthenticated attacker with TCP network access to fully compromise the affected in-memory data grid, per Oracle's July 2026 Critical Patch Update. Oracle rates the flaw CVSS 9.8 with 'easily exploitable' language and complete confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, affecting versions 12.2.1.4.0, 14.1.1.0.0, 14.1.2.0.0 and 15.1.1.0.0. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV; no EPSS score was provided.
RemediationAI
Apply the fixes from the Oracle Critical Patch Update July 2026 (https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html) for the affected Coherence versions 12.2.1.4.0, 14.1.1.0.0, 14.1.2.0.0 and 15.1.1.0.0 - Patch available per vendor advisory (Oracle CPUs deliver cumulative patches; take the exact patched build from the CPU matrix, as a specific fixed version string was not provided in the input). Because exploitation is unauthenticated over TCP, until patching completes restrict network exposure of the Coherence*Extend proxy and cluster TCP ports to trusted management subnets via firewall/ACLs and remove any internet exposure - the trade-off is that legitimate remote Extend clients on other networks lose connectivity and must be explicitly whitelisted. Where supported, enable Extend client authentication/identity tokens and TLS on the proxy listeners to raise the barrier, accepting the certificate-management and configuration overhead. These are compensating controls only; the CPU patch is the authoritative fix.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle Coherence is a distributed, in-memory data grid and caching platform bundled with Oracle Fusion Middleware, used to scale stateful applications across a cluster of JVM nodes that communicate over TCP via cluster ports and the Coherence*Extend proxy listener. The vulnerability is in the 'Core' component and is reachable over the network via TCP, which for Coherence typically means the Extend proxy or cluster communication path that processes attacker-supplied serialized data. No CWE was assigned in the input; however, unauthenticated 'takeover' via network requests to a Java middleware data grid is characteristically consistent with an unsafe deserialization / object-processing weakness (CWE-502 class) - this root cause is inferred, not confirmed by Oracle.

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, a critical in-memory data grid component of Oracle Fusion Middleware, is vulnerable to unauthenticated remote takeover via CVE-2026-60300 (CVSS 9.8). Any organization running Coherence versions 12.2.1.4.0, 14.1.1.0.0, 14.1.2.0.0, or 15.1.1.0.0 risks complete compromise of data confidentiality, integrity, and availability with no vendor patch currently available, requiring immediate containment while awaiting a fix.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: implement network segmentation restricting Coherence cluster access to trusted subnets only, deploy application-layer authentication on top of Coherence if available, enable detailed connection and query logging for forensic monitoring, and maintain isolated test instances for patch validation prior to production deployment.
