Vulnerability in Oracle GoldenGate (component: Admin Server Executable). Supported versions that are affected are 19.1.0.0.0-19.30.0.0, 21.3-21.21 and 23.4-23.26.1. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via HTTPS to compromise Oracle GoldenGate. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle GoldenGate. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 8.8 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
AnalysisAI
Privilege escalation to full product takeover in Oracle GoldenGate (Admin Server Executable) lets a low-privileged, network-adjacent attacker seize complete control of the GoldenGate instance over HTTPS. Affected releases span the 19c (19.1.0.0.0-19.30.0.0), 21c (21.3-21.21), and 23ai (23.4-23.26.1) branches, and Oracle rates the impact 8.8 with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability loss. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the flaw is not listed in CISA KEV, but a fix is delivered in the Oracle Critical Patch Update of July 2026.
Technical ContextAI
Oracle GoldenGate is a real-time data replication, change-data-capture, and integration platform used to move transactional data between heterogeneous databases and environments. The vulnerable component is the Admin Server Executable - the management/control-plane service of the GoldenGate Microservices Architecture, which exposes an HTTPS administrative interface (the deployment's REST/Admin API and web console) used to configure and operate extract/replicat processes. Oracle lists the CWE as N/A, so no specific root-cause weakness class is published, but the CVSS profile (network HTTPS vector, low privileges required, unchanged scope, total C/I/A impact) is consistent with an authenticated-but-low-privilege user escalating within the Admin Server to gain administrative control of the deployment.
RemediationAI
Apply the Oracle Critical Patch Update for July 2026, which contains the fix for this issue - Patch available per vendor advisory (https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html); the input does not specify an exact fixed build number, so consult that advisory for the precise patched release for your 19c, 21c, or 23ai deployment and upgrade beyond the listed affected ranges (19.30.0.0, 21.21, and 23.26.1 respectively). Until patched, reduce exposure by restricting network reachability of the GoldenGate Admin Server HTTPS interface to trusted management networks or a bastion/jump host and placing it behind a firewall or VPN, which limits which hosts can reach the vulnerable endpoint at the cost of remote administrative convenience. Because exploitation requires a low-privileged account, tighten and audit GoldenGate user accounts and credentials, remove unnecessary low-privilege logins, and rotate credentials to shrink the pool of accounts that could stage the escalation.
