AI Analysis

Impact

Oracle WebCenter Content, the Content Server component of Oracle Fusion Middleware, contains a flaw that allows an attacker with a low‑privileged account that has logon access to the same infrastructure to compromise the content server and ultimately take over the application. Successful exploitation results in complete loss of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the entire WebCenter Content installation.

Affected Systems

The affected products are Oracle WebCenter Content versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.0.0, released by Oracle Corporation.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8 with an attack vector of local, a low attack complexity, low privileges, and no user interaction. The EPSS score is below 1%, indicating a low probability of exploitation in the wild, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Nonetheless, because it requires only local access and low privileges, an attacker who can log on to the host can quickly achieve full control of the application.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest Oracle patch or upgrade to a supported release of Oracle WebCenter Content that contains the fix for versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.0.0.
  • Restrict local user privileges by enforcing the principle of least privilege on the servers hosting Oracle WebCenter Content and remove unnecessary accounts that can log on to the infrastructure.
  • Implement monitoring and alerting for anomalous activity on the WebCenter Content servers, such as unusual login patterns or unauthorized modifications to configuration files.
