Description
Vulnerability in Oracle GoldenGate (component: Libraries). Supported versions that are affected are 19.1.0.0.0-19.30.0.0, 21.3-21.21 and 23.4-23.26.2. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows high privileged attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle GoldenGate executes to compromise Oracle GoldenGate. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle GoldenGate accessible data as well as unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle GoldenGate accessible data and unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of Oracle GoldenGate. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 5.8 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:H).

AI Analysis

Impact

Vulnerability in Oracle GoldenGate Library enables a locally privileged user with high privileges and who can log onto the infrastructure where GoldenGate runs to compromise the application. The flaw permits the attacker to read critical data without permission, insert, delete or alter data, and to cause a complete hang or frequent crash that results in denial of service. The weaknesses manifest as improper input validation, improper access control, and a race condition.

Affected Systems

Affected versions of Oracle GoldenGate include 19.1.0.0.0 through 19.30.0.0, 21.3 up to 21.21, and the 23.4 series up to 23.26.2. All releases managed by Oracle Corporation within these ranges are susceptible until a vendor fix is applied.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS Base Score of 5.8 indicates moderate impact, with confidentiality and availability rated high and integrity rated low. EPSS is less than 1 %, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV. The attack vector is local, requiring high privileged access and user interaction, limiting exploitation to users who can log in locally. While exploitation may be difficult, the potential damage—including unauthorized data modification and repeated service outages—represents a significant risk for environments handling sensitive data.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Oracle GoldenGate to the latest release that contains the vendor’s fix for CVE‑2026‑61079
  • Enforce least‑privilege on local accounts that can access GoldenGate servers
  • Monitor GoldenGate logs and system metrics for unauthorized data changes or crash events, and configure alerts for suspicious activity
  • Restrict or remove administrative functions that allow local users to perform actions that could trigger the vulnerability when not required for normal operation
