Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide basic user capabilities that could normally affect only settings and files owned by a user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges may have the ability to cause an impact only to non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Changed: An exploited vulnerability can affect resources beyond the security scope managed by the security authority of the vulnerable component. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are different and managed by different security authorities.
Confidentiality: High: There is total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

CVE published 15 Jul 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-26.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

To mitigate CVE-2025-50069 effectively, organizations should implement the following specific measures: 1) Apply Oracle's security patches immediately once available; monitor Oracle security advisories closely for patch releases related to this vulnerability. 2) Restrict the assignment of Create Session and Create Procedure privileges to only trusted and necessary users or roles, minimizing the attack surface. 3) Implement network segmentation and firewall rules to limit Oracle Net access strictly to authorized hosts and networks, reducing exposure to remote attackers. 4) Monitor database audit logs for unusual or unauthorized use of Create Session and Create Procedure privileges, enabling early detection of exploitation attempts. 5) Disable or remove unnecessary Java VM components or features within Oracle Database Server if not required by applications, reducing the vulnerable attack surface. 6) Employ strong authentication and access controls to prevent unauthorized privilege escalation within the database environment. 7) Conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on Oracle Database Server configurations and privilege management. 8) Prepare incident response plans specific to database compromise scenarios to respond swiftly if exploitation is detected.

Description

Vulnerability in the Java VM component of Oracle Database Server. Supported versions that are affected are 19.3-19.27 and 21.3-21.18. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker having Create Session, Create Procedure privilege with network access via Oracle Net to compromise Java VM. While the vulnerability is in Java VM, 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 Java VM accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 7.7 (Confidentiality impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N).

Impact

The potential impact of CVE-2025-50069 is substantial for organizations worldwide using affected Oracle Database Server versions. Successful exploitation can lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive or critical data accessible through the Java VM, which may include proprietary business information, personally identifiable information (PII), or other confidential data. The scope change indicates that the vulnerability could affect additional Oracle products that depend on the Java VM, potentially broadening the impact beyond the database server itself. This could result in widespread data breaches, regulatory compliance violations, and significant reputational damage. Since the vulnerability requires only low privileges and network access, attackers who have gained limited access to the database environment could escalate their capabilities to compromise critical data. The lack of impact on integrity and availability means the system may continue operating normally while being silently compromised, increasing the risk of undetected data exfiltration. Organizations in sectors with high reliance on Oracle databases, such as finance, healthcare, government, and large enterprises, face elevated risks.

The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
MITRE discourages mapping vulnerabilities to this broad entry; the root cause is usually a more specific weakness.
Architecture and Design · Operation
Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.
Architecture and Design · Separation of Privilege
Follow the principle of least privilege when assigning access rights to entities in a software system.
