MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Defense Evasion The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires network HTTP access to the WebCenter Content: Imaging application, a valid low-privileged account (PR:L - not a pure unauthenticated bypass despite the 'Authentication Bypass' tag), and human interaction from a different, higher-context user (UI:R) who must be induced to perform an action for the attack to succeed. It applies to Fusion Middleware WebCenter Content: Imaging 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.0.0 specifically. The limiting factors are the required authenticated foothold and the mandatory victim interaction, which prevent silent, fully automated exploitation; the scope change (S:C) is what allows impact to extend beyond Imaging once those conditions are met. |
| Impact | Signals partially align: the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N, base 8.7) indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity attack needing only low privileges but also requiring human interaction from a victim other than the attacker, which meaningfully lowers the practical exploitability versus a fully unauthenticated, no-interaction bug. The scope change and dual High confidentiality/integrity impact drive the high base score, while Availability is unaffected (A:N). No EPSS score was supplied, no SSVC decision was provided, the CVE is not in CISA KEV, and no POC or exploit code is referenced - so real-world exploitation pressure appears low-to-moderate today and this reads as a genuine-but-not-emergency priority. Note a conflict worth flagging: the vendor tag says 'Authentication Bypass' yet the vector requires PR:L (a low-privileged account) and UI:R (victim interaction), so it is not a pure pre-auth bypass - verify the precise privilege prerequisite with Oracle before treating it as unauthenticated. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker holding a low-privileged WebCenter Content: Imaging account crafts a malicious HTTP request or link and induces a higher-context authenticated user to trigger it (for example by opening a link or performing an in-app action), causing the operation to execute across the intended authorization boundary. Because the scope changes, the attacker can then read, alter, or delete critical Imaging-managed documents and potentially affect connected products. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis, so exploitation would currently require custom development. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 22, 2026
Scope-changing confidentiality and integrity compromise in Oracle WebCenter Content: Imaging (Core component) affects Fusion Middleware versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.0.0, letting a low-privileged, network-based attacker who lures an authenticated user into an action read, create, delete, or modify all Imaging-accessible data. Oracle rates it CVSS 3.1 8.7 with a scope change, meaning successful attacks can significantly impact products beyond Imaging itself. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and it is not listed in CISA KEV; the fix ships in the Oracle July 2026 Critical Patch Update.
RemediationAI
Apply the Oracle July 2026 Critical Patch Update for Fusion Middleware WebCenter Content, tracked at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html - this is Patch available per vendor advisory; Oracle publishes fix bundles per CPU rather than a single semantic version, so identify and apply the specific WebCenter Content patch listed for your 12.2.1.4.0 or 14.1.2.0.0 install (exact patch number not present in the provided data - confirm against the CPU patch matrix). Until patched, reduce exposure by restricting network reachability of the Imaging application to trusted internal users via WebLogic/reverse-proxy access controls or IP allowlisting (trade-off: may block legitimate remote users), tightening or reviewing Imaging role and security-group assignments so low-privileged accounts cannot reach sensitive documents, and - because the attack requires victim interaction - reinforcing user awareness against following untrusted links or requests into the Imaging UI. These are compensating controls only and do not remove the underlying flaw.

Technical ContextAI · show details
WebCenter Content: Imaging is the document-imaging and capture module of Oracle's WebCenter Content enterprise content management (ECM) platform, itself part of the Oracle Fusion Middleware / WebLogic Server stack. The flaw resides in the 'Core' component and is reachable over HTTP, consistent with the web-based Imaging UI/servlet layer running on WebLogic. No CWE was assigned by NVD; the vendor tag 'Authentication Bypass' plus the CVSS scope change (S:C) suggests a weakness that lets a low-privileged session escape its intended authorization boundary and act on data owned by other trust domains, though the exact root-cause class is not documented in the available data. Affected builds correspond to the 12.2.1.4.0 (12c) and 14.1.2.0.0 (14c) Fusion Middleware release trains; no CPE strings were provided in the input, so exact component-level CPEs could not be enumerated.

DescriptionCVE.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. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and 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 creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or all WebCenter Content: Imaging accessible data as well as unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all WebCenter Content: Imaging accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 8.7 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N).
Executive ViewAI
The organization's WebCenter Content Imaging infrastructure (versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.0.0) faces a critical data protection vulnerability (CVSS 8.7) that enables attackers to compromise sensitive image repositories through social engineering of end users, with no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The scope-changing nature of this flaw extends risk beyond image data to integrated enterprise systems and linked applications. Immediate patching is essential to prevent data compromise and avoid privacy and compliance violations.
