Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires a low-privileged attacker with authenticated network access to Oracle Coherence over TCP - the CVSS PR:L metric confirms that some form of authentication or privilege is required, and unauthenticated exploitation is not indicated by available data. The Coherence Core component must be reachable over the network via TCP from the attacker's position. No user interaction is required. Exploitation is bounded to causing denial of service (hang or crash); confidentiality and integrity are not impacted. Deployments where Coherence TCP cluster ports are isolated behind firewall rules limiting access to trusted hosts significantly reduce practical exploitability. No specific non-default configuration is stated as a prerequisite beyond network reachability.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 score of 6.5 Medium reflects a network-reachable, low-complexity denial-of-service flaw with availability-only impact. Key aggravating signals: Oracle's advisory explicitly labels this 'easily exploitable,' attack complexity is low, and no user interaction is needed, reducing the barrier for any authenticated attacker with TCP access. Key limiting signals: PR:L confirms at least some authentication or privilege is required (not unauthenticated), and the impact is strictly availability - no confidentiality or integrity exposure exists. EPSS data was not provided, and this CVE does not appear in CISA KEV, so no confirmed active exploitation is known. Without EPSS it is not possible to compare probabilistic exploitation likelihood against peer vulnerabilities. The real-world priority is highest for organizations running Oracle Coherence in environments where cluster TCP ports are accessible to untrusted or semi-trusted users (e.g., multi-tenant SaaS, shared development environments). Organizations with Coherence restricted behind strict network controls face substantially reduced practical risk.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker holding a low-privileged account with TCP connectivity to an Oracle Coherence cluster sends a specially crafted request targeting the Core component, triggering a service hang or crash. Because attack complexity is low and no user interaction is required, the attacker can repeat the request to sustain a persistent denial-of-service condition. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, but Oracle's 'easily exploitable' classification suggests minimal technical sophistication is needed beyond network access and valid credentials.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jul 22, 2026

Denial of service in Oracle Coherence's Core component allows a low-privileged network attacker to cause a hang or repeatable crash of the service via TCP, affecting all four currently supported release lines (12.2.1.4.0 through 15.1.1.0.0). Oracle classifies this as easily exploitable - low attack complexity and no user interaction required - making it accessible to any authenticated user with TCP connectivity to the cluster. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and Oracle disclosed this through its July 2026 Critical Patch Update; the CVE is not listed in CISA KEV.

RemediationAI

Apply the patches provided in Oracle's July 2026 Critical Patch Update, available at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html. The exact patched version numbers for each affected release (12.2.1.4.0, 14.1.1.0.0, 14.1.2.0.0, 15.1.1.0.0) are not specified in available intelligence and must be confirmed directly from the CPU advisory and Oracle Support. As compensating controls pending patching, restrict network access to Oracle Coherence TCP cluster ports (typically 7574, 7575, and associated cluster management ports) at the firewall or network layer to only explicitly authorized hosts and users; this directly limits the pool of low-privileged attackers who can reach the vulnerable endpoint. Note that overly broad port restrictions may disrupt cluster formation, replication, and management operations - validate any firewall rule changes against your cluster topology before applying in production.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Oracle Coherence is an in-memory data grid and distributed caching platform used in enterprise Java applications as a core component of Oracle Fusion Middleware. The affected CPE (cpe:2.3:a:oracle_corporation:oracle_coherence) covers all four confirmed release lines. The vulnerability resides in the Core component, which governs distributed data management, cluster coordination, and TCP-based inter-node communication. No CWE is assigned, but the denial-of-service outcome - hang or repeatable crash - triggered over TCP by a low-privileged user is consistent with improper input validation, resource exhaustion, or unhandled exception handling within the cluster messaging subsystem. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) confirms the flaw is remotely reachable under typical network conditions without complex prerequisites, but does require a minimum level of authentication.
