Description
Vulnerability in the Helidon product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: helidon-grpc-server). Supported versions that are affected are 3.0.0-3.2.21. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP/2 to compromise Helidon. While the vulnerability is in Helidon, attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Helidon accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of Helidon accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 7.2 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N).

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability resides in the Helidon gRPC server component of Oracle Fusion Middleware, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to perform update, insert, or delete operations and read a subset of data through HTTP/2 connections. The weakness is an Information Exposure flaw (CWE‑200), leading to both confidentiality and integrity breaches. The flaw can be triggered simply by sending traffic to a reachable Helidon instance without credentials, and the impact can extend beyond Helidon to other Oracle products that interact with the affected service due to a scope change.

Affected Systems

Oracle Helidon versions 3.0.0 to 3.2.21 are affected. These releases provide gRPC server functionality for Oracle Fusion Middleware environments that expose the Helidon services to internal or external networks.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.2 indicates high severity. The EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a very low but non‑zero probability of exploitation at the time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers can exploit the flaw over the network via HTTP/2 without authentication, leading to unauthorized data modifications and limited read access. Due to the easy exploitation path and potential impact on confidentiality and integrity, rapid remediation is advisable.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to the latest non‑affected Oracle Helidon version; consult Oracle release notes or support for the patched release.
  • Restrict the Helidon gRPC server from external network exposure by placing it behind a firewall or reverse proxy that enforces network segmentation.
  • If an immediate upgrade is not feasible, disable the gRPC service or apply strict access control lists to restrict connections to trusted hosts only.
