Description
Vulnerability in the Oracle WebCenter Content product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: Content Server). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.0.0. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle WebCenter Content. While the vulnerability is in Oracle WebCenter Content, 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 Oracle WebCenter Content accessible data as well as unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle WebCenter Content accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 7.1 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:N).

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability in Oracle WebCenter Content, part of Oracle Fusion Middleware, allows a low privileged attacker with network access over HTTP to gain unauthorized access to critical data and, in some cases, modify, insert, or delete that data. The weakness permits a scope change, meaning exploitation could affect additional Oracle products beyond WebCenter Content itself, thereby potentially compromising a broader set of organizational information. This breach of confidentiality and integrity could enable attackers to read protected content or tamper with the data repository without triggering immediate system alerts.

Affected Systems

Oracle WebCenter Content versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.0.0 are affected. These deployments typically run within larger Oracle Fusion Middleware environments, so the impact may extend to related services that interact with the content server.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.1 indicates a medium severity flaw with high confidentiality impact. The attack vector is remote over HTTP, the attacker only needs low privileges, and no user interaction is required. EPSS data is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA's KEV catalog, suggesting that concrete exploit evidence is not public at this time. Nonetheless, the scope change raises the risk of broader compromise if the same access control weakness exists in other connected components.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Install the latest Oracle WebCenter Content patch that addresses the improper access control vulnerability for both 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.0.0.
  • If a patch cannot be applied immediately, block or restrict HTTP traffic to the WebCenter Content servers using firewall or load‑balancer rules, allowing only trusted IP addresses to communicate with the service.
  • Review and tighten user roles and permissions within WebCenter Content, removing unnecessary privileges that could be leveraged by a low‑privileged attacker.
  • Enable detailed audit logging and monitor for anomalous data modification attempts, alerting on repeated unauthorized access patterns.
