Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the WebCenter Content: Imaging product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: Core). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.0.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise WebCenter Content: Imaging. While the vulnerability is in WebCenter Content: Imaging, attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all WebCenter Content: Imaging accessible data as well as unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of WebCenter Content: Imaging accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 8.5 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:N).
AnalysisAI
Privilege-abusing information disclosure and data tampering in Oracle WebCenter Content: Imaging (Core component) lets a low-privileged, network-based attacker read all Imaging-accessible data and modify some of it over HTTP. The flaw carries a scope change (CVSS 8.5), meaning a successful attack can reach beyond the Imaging module into other Fusion Middleware components, and Oracle tags it as an authentication-bypass-class issue. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, but Oracle rates it 'easily exploitable' and shipped a fix in the July 2026 Critical Patch Update.
Technical ContextAI
Oracle WebCenter Content: Imaging is the document-imaging and capture module of the Oracle WebCenter Content platform, part of Oracle Fusion Middleware, used for scanning, storing, indexing and routing business documents (invoices, forms, records) via a Java/WebLogic-hosted HTTP application. The affected 'Core' component handles the imaging engine and its access-control layer. No CWE was assigned by NVD, but the Oracle-supplied 'Authentication Bypass' tag and the CVSS profile (low privileges required, high confidentiality impact, scope change) point to a broken-access-control / authorization root cause (CWE-284/CWE-285 class) where an authenticated low-privilege user can reach data and functions that should be restricted, and where the trust boundary crossed also affects adjacent WebLogic-hosted products.
RemediationAI
Apply the Oracle Critical Patch Update of July 2026, which contains the fix for this issue, per Oracle advisory https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html (Patch available per vendor advisory; the CPU does not expose a single semantic fix-version string, so apply the CPU bundle patch corresponding to your installed 12.2.1.4.0 or 14.1.2.0.0 release). Because Oracle CPUs are cumulative, patch promptly and prioritize internet-exposed Imaging instances. Until patching, reduce exposure by restricting network reachability of the Imaging HTTP endpoints to trusted internal networks or via a reverse proxy/WAF (trade-off: may break legitimate remote/mobile capture clients), tightening and auditing low-privilege Imaging accounts and removing unnecessary users since exploitation requires an authenticated low-privilege foothold, and increasing logging/monitoring on Imaging access to detect anomalous cross-scope data access. These are compensating controls only and do not substitute for the CPU patch.
