CVE-2025-30753 is a vulnerability identified in Oracle WebLogic Server, specifically affecting versions 12.2.1.4.0, 14.1.1.0.0, and 14.1.2.0.0. This vulnerability resides in the core component of Oracle Fusion Middleware and is classified under CWE-400, which relates to uncontrolled resource consumption leading to denial of service (DoS). The flaw allows a low-privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to exploit the vulnerability without requiring user interaction. The attacker can cause the WebLogic Server to hang or crash repeatedly, resulting in a complete denial of service. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.5, indicating a medium severity primarily due to its impact on availability. The attack vector is network-based (AV:N), with low attack complexity (AC:L), requiring low privileges (PR:L), and no user interaction (UI:N). The scope remains unchanged (S:U), and there is no impact on confidentiality or integrity, only availability (A:H). No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, and no patches have been linked yet. The vulnerability's ease of exploitation combined with its ability to disrupt critical middleware services makes it a significant concern for organizations relying on Oracle WebLogic Server for enterprise applications and services.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-30753 can be substantial, particularly for those using Oracle WebLogic Server as a backbone for critical business applications, including financial services, government portals, healthcare systems, and manufacturing control systems. A successful denial of service attack could lead to prolonged downtime, disrupting business operations, causing financial losses, and damaging reputation. Since WebLogic Server often hosts middleware services that integrate various enterprise applications, its unavailability can cascade into broader system outages. Additionally, sectors with stringent regulatory requirements such as GDPR may face compliance challenges if service disruptions affect data availability or incident response timelines. The medium severity rating reflects the lack of direct data breach risk but underscores the operational risks posed by service unavailability. Given the low privilege and network access requirements, attackers could potentially launch these attacks from within or outside the organization, increasing the threat surface.

1. Immediate mitigation should focus on network-level protections: restrict HTTP access to Oracle WebLogic Server instances to trusted IP addresses and internal networks using firewalls and access control lists. 2. Implement Web Application Firewalls (WAF) with custom rules designed to detect and block anomalous HTTP requests that could trigger the vulnerability. 3. Monitor WebLogic Server logs and system performance metrics closely for signs of hangs or crashes indicative of exploitation attempts. 4. Apply Oracle's security advisories promptly once patches become available; maintain a close watch on Oracle's official channels for updates. 5. Employ rate limiting and connection throttling on HTTP interfaces to reduce the risk of resource exhaustion attacks. 6. Conduct regular vulnerability assessments and penetration testing focused on middleware components to identify and remediate similar issues proactively. 7. Segment critical WebLogic Server deployments from less secure network zones to minimize exposure. 8. Develop and test incident response plans specifically addressing denial of service scenarios affecting middleware infrastructure.
