AI Analysis

Impact

Helidon, a component of Oracle Fusion Middleware, contains a flaw in the helidon‑common‑concurrency‑limits module that permits an unauthenticated attacker with network access over HTTP to execute unauthorized updates, inserts, or deletes on data exposed by Helidon. The exploit can also trigger a partial denial of service, affecting the availability of Helidon services. The ability to modify data and degrade service availability corresponds to integrity and availability impacts as reflected in the CVSS vector.

Affected Systems

Oracle’s Helidon product versions from 4.0.0 through 4.5.5 and version 27.0.0 are affected. The vulnerability is tied specifically to the helidon‑common‑concurrency‑limits component of these releases.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS base score is 6.5, indicating a medium severity threat that does not require authentication, has low complexity, and can be attacked remotely. No EPSS score is available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, which suggests it is not currently known to be exploited in the wild, but the vulnerability remains exploitable over the network. Attackers with network access can leverage the exposed HTTP interface to achieve the described impact without any special privileges.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Helidon to the latest version released by Oracle that addresses the concurrency‑limit flaw.
  • If an immediate upgrade is not possible, restrict HTTP access to Helidon to approved IP addresses or networks using firewalls or access control lists.
  • Disable or remove unnecessary HTTP endpoints that expose Helidon data to limit potential attack surface.
  • Enable comprehensive logging of Helidon operations and monitor for anomalous update, insert, or delete actions.
