AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability affects Oracle WebCenter Sites versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.0.0 and allows a low privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise the system. Exploitation requires user interaction from a third party. The vulnerability can result in complete takeover of Oracle WebCenter Sites, impacting confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The CVSS 3.1 vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, low privileges required, user interaction needed, unchanged scope, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Oracle has addressed this vulnerability in its June 2026 Critical Security Patch Update advisory, which contains 245 security patches across multiple products including Oracle WebCenter Sites. While the advisory strongly urges patch application, explicit patch availability details for these exact versions are not provided in the input data.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an attacker with low privileges and network access to take over Oracle WebCenter Sites, resulting in complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system. The attack requires user interaction from a person other than the attacker. This can lead to unauthorized access, data disclosure, modification, or denial of service within Oracle WebCenter Sites environments running the affected versions.
Mitigation Recommendations
Oracle strongly recommends applying the June 2026 Critical Security Patch Update as soon as possible to address this vulnerability along with others. Until patches are applied, risk may be reduced by blocking network protocols required for exploitation and by removing unnecessary privileges or access to sensitive packages from users who do not need them. These mitigations may impact application functionality, so testing is advised. Patch status for this vulnerability is not explicitly confirmed in the advisory content provided; therefore, check the Oracle advisory at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cspujun2026.html for the latest patch availability and installation instructions.
