Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the Oracle WebCenter Sites product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: WebCenter Sites). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.0.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle WebCenter Sites. While the vulnerability is in Oracle WebCenter Sites, 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 Oracle WebCenter Sites accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 8.6 (Confidentiality impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N).
AnalysisAI
Unauthorized data access in Oracle WebCenter Sites 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.0.0 allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to reach all data accessible to the product over HTTP. The flaw carries a scope change, meaning a successful attack can significantly impact additional connected products beyond WebCenter Sites itself. Oracle rates it CVSS 3.1 8.6 (confidentiality-only); no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, though Oracle tags it as an Authentication Bypass.
Technical ContextAI
Oracle WebCenter Sites is an enterprise web experience/content management (WCM) platform within Oracle Fusion Middleware, typically deployed on WebLogic Server and fronting public-facing corporate websites. The Oracle-supplied tag 'Authentication Bypass' combined with the CVSS metrics (PR:N, no integrity or availability impact, high confidentiality) points to a root cause where an authorization or session/access-control check can be circumvented over HTTP, exposing protected content and data. No CWE was assigned in the input (CWE: N/A), so the precise weakness class is not formally categorized, but the signature is consistent with broken access control / improper authentication in a request-handling component. The scope change (S:C) indicates the vulnerable component can be leveraged to access resources managed by other components or products it integrates with.
RemediationAI
Apply the Oracle Critical Patch Update (CPU) of July 2026, which contains the fix for this issue - see https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html for the exact patch bundle applicable to WebCenter Sites 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.0.0 (patch available per vendor advisory; a discrete fixed build number was not provided in the input, so identify the specific patch ID from the CPU matrix). Until patching, reduce exposure by restricting network access to the WebCenter Sites HTTP endpoints - place the application behind a VPN or IP allowlist, block direct internet access to management and content-delivery URLs at the load balancer or WAF, and monitor for anomalous unauthenticated access to protected content paths; note these controls can break legitimate public-website delivery if the site is intentionally internet-facing, so scope them to administrative and non-public interfaces where possible. Because the scope is changed, also review and tighten trust between WebCenter Sites and any integrated Oracle products it can reach.
