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 (Fusion Middleware Core component) lets an unauthenticated attacker with TCP network access fully compromise the in-memory data grid. Oracle rates this CVSS 3.1 9.8 with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact and describes it as easily exploitable, meaning a single crafted network interaction against a reachable cluster node can yield complete control. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, but the low complexity and no-authentication profile make it a high-priority patch in the July 2026 Oracle Critical Patch Update.
Technical ContextAI
Oracle Coherence is a distributed in-memory data grid and caching platform bundled with Oracle Fusion Middleware and WebLogic Server, used to share and cluster application state across JVM nodes over TCP (typically the Coherence*Extend proxy and cluster ports). The flaw resides in the Core component and is reachable over the cluster/proxy network protocol. Oracle assigned no CWE (CWE: N/A), but the pattern of unauthenticated network-based full takeover in Java middleware of this type is historically consistent with unsafe deserialization of untrusted data (CWE-502) in the Coherence wire protocol; this root-cause class is inferred from the impact profile, not confirmed by Oracle. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:oracle_corporation:oracle_coherence:*, spanning multiple middleware release trains.
RemediationAI
Apply the Oracle July 2026 Critical Patch Update (CPU) for Oracle Coherence, which addresses the affected release trains 12.2.1.4.0, 14.1.1.0.0, 14.1.2.0.0, and 15.1.1.0.0; consult https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html for the exact patch bundle and version applicable to your deployment. Patch status: patch available per vendor advisory (Oracle CPU) - an exact fix version string is not enumerated in the provided data, so verify the specific bundle in the advisory and do not treat any version number as confirmed without checking. Until patched, restrict network access to Coherence cluster and Coherence*Extend proxy ports (commonly TCP 8088/9099 and dynamically allocated cluster ports) with firewall rules and network segmentation so only trusted application hosts can reach them, and never expose these ports to the internet or untrusted VLANs (trade-off: overly tight rules can break legitimate cross-node clustering, so validate cluster membership after changes). Where Coherence*Extend is not required, disable the proxy service to shrink the attack surface. Enable the Coherence Security Framework and SSL for cluster and extend traffic where supported to require authentication and encryption on the wire (trade-off: added configuration effort and slight latency).
