Description
Vulnerability in the Oracle HTTP Server product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: OSSL Module). The supported version that is affected is 12.2.1.4.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle HTTP Server executes to compromise Oracle HTTP Server. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle HTTP Server. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 7.8 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).

EPSS: < 1% Very Low
KEV: No
Impact: Local Server Takeover by Low‑Privileged Attacker
Action: Patch Immediately
AI Analysis

Impact

A vulnerability exists in the OSSL Module of Oracle HTTP Server that allows a low‑privileged attacker who has logged onto the same infrastructure as the server to compromise the application and take control. The impact is complete loss of confidentiality, integrity, and availability for the affected server. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8 reflects local attack, low authentication, and no user interaction requirements, indicating the issue can be exploited with minimal effort once the attacker has local access.

Affected Systems

Oracle Corporation’s Oracle HTTP Server, version 12.2.1.4.0, is the sole affected product. No other releases or variants are listed as vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The risk is significant for environments where the server is accessible to users with low privileges, because the attack vector is local (AV:L) and does not require network exposure. The EPSS score is not available, but the absence of a CISA KEV listing suggests the vulnerability has not yet been widely exploited. An attacker who gains a logon to the host can exploit the OSSL Module flaw to obtain full control of the HTTP Server, potentially extending further attacks within the infrastructure.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the official Oracle patch or upgrade Oracle HTTP Server to a version that does not contain the OSSL Module flaw.
  • Restrict local users to the minimal privileges required for their role, preventing low‑privileged accounts from interacting with the HTTP Server.
  • Isolate the Oracle HTTP Server within a segmented network zone and limit local logon capabilities from non‑trusted zones.
