CVE-2026-60281: Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with access to the physical communication segment attached to the hardware where the Oracle Coherence executes to compromise Oracle Coherence. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or all Oracle Coherence accessible data as well as unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle Coherence accessible data
CVE-2026-60281 is a high-severity vulnerability in Oracle Coherence, part of Oracle Fusion Middleware. It allows an unauthenticated attacker with access to the physical communication segment of the hardware running Oracle Coherence to compromise the system. Successful exploitation can lead to unauthorized creation, deletion, or modification of critical data accessible by Oracle Coherence. The vulnerability affects versions 12.2.1.4.0, 14.1.1.0.0, 14.1.2.0.0, and 15.1.1.0.0. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 8.1, indicating high impact on confidentiality and integrity. Oracle has published a Critical Patch Update advisory including this vulnerability but does not explicitly state patch availability or remediation level for this specific issue in the provided advisory content.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability in Oracle Coherence allows an unauthenticated attacker with physical access to the communication segment attached to the hardware running Oracle Coherence to compromise the product. The attacker can gain unauthorized capabilities to create, delete, or modify critical data or all data accessible by Oracle Coherence. The vulnerability affects multiple supported versions of Oracle Coherence: 12.2.1.4.0, 14.1.1.0.0, 14.1.2.0.0, and 15.1.1.0.0. The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates the attack requires adjacent network access (AV:A), low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), no user interaction (UI:N), unchanged scope (S:U), and high confidentiality and integrity impacts (C:H/I:H), with no impact on availability (A:N). The vendor advisory is a general Critical Patch Update notice listing many patched products but does not explicitly confirm patch availability or remediation status for this specific vulnerability.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation can result in unauthorized creation, deletion, or modification of critical data or all data accessible by Oracle Coherence. This compromises confidentiality and integrity of the data but does not affect availability. The attacker requires physical access to the communication segment attached to the hardware running Oracle Coherence, which limits the attack vector to adjacent network attackers with physical network access.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the Oracle Critical Patch Update advisory at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html for current remediation guidance. Oracle strongly recommends applying security patches without delay and remaining on actively supported versions. Since the vulnerability requires physical access to the communication segment, restricting physical and network access to Oracle Coherence hardware can reduce risk until patches are applied.
