Severity by source
AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Adjacent vector (AV:A) because exploitation needs access to the Coherence communication segment; unauthenticated (PR:N) and low complexity per Oracle, with full C/I/A takeover.

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 takeover of Oracle Coherence (part of Oracle Fusion Middleware, Core component) is possible by an unauthenticated attacker positioned on the same physical/adjacent network segment as the affected host, per Oracle's July 2026 Critical Patch Update. The flaw is rated CVSS 3.1 8.8 with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact and is described by Oracle as easily exploitable, though no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV. Affected supported releases are 12.2.1.4.0, 14.1.1.0.0, 14.1.2.0.0, and 15.1.1.0.0.
Technical ContextAI
Oracle Coherence is an in-memory data grid and distributed caching platform used within Oracle Fusion Middleware to provide clustered, low-latency data services for Java enterprise applications. Cluster members communicate over Coherence's TCMP (Tangosol Cluster Management Protocol) and related cluster transport channels, which is consistent with the CVSS Adjacent (AV:A) attack vector requiring access to the physical communication segment attached to the Coherence host. The CWE is not provided by the source, but the outcome - unauthenticated 'takeover' reachable from the cluster network - is characteristic of unauthenticated cluster-join / deserialization / missing-authentication weaknesses common to data-grid transports; the exact root-cause class cannot be confirmed from the available data. The CPE (cpe:2.3:a:oracle_corporation:oracle_coherence) confirms the affected product is the Coherence application itself.
RemediationAI
Apply the fixes delivered in the Oracle July 2026 Critical Patch Update (https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html), which is the primary and vendor-authoritative remediation for all affected releases (12.2.1.4.0, 14.1.1.0.0, 14.1.2.0.0, 15.1.1.0.0); the advisory lists patch available per vendor advisory, though an exact per-release patched build number is not reproduced in the provided data and should be taken from the CPU patch matrix. Because the attack requires access to the Coherence communication segment, the most effective compensating control until patching is network isolation: place Coherence cluster traffic (TCMP/well-known-address ports) on a dedicated, firewalled VLAN or backend segment unreachable by application or user hosts, which reduces exposure but requires ensuring all legitimate cluster members remain on that segment. Where supported, enable Coherence transport/cluster security (host address authorization and TLS/SSL for cluster communication) to authenticate members, accepting the operational overhead of certificate management and configuration changes. Avoid running Coherence nodes on shared or trusted broadcast segments alongside untrusted workloads.
