Oracle WebLogic Server - Remote Code Execution
Exploited in the wild. Listed by CISA on 2025-01-07; known to be used by ransomware.
Vulnerability in the Oracle WebLogic Server product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: Core). Supported versions that are affected are 10.3.6.0.0, 12.1.3.0.0, 12.2.1.3.0 and 12.2.1.4.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via IIOP, T3 to compromise Oracle WebLogic Server. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle WebLogic Server. CVSS 3.0 Base Score 9.8 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
Impact
Unauthenticated attackers can exploit unsafe deserialization over IIOP/T3 protocols to achieve complete takeover of Oracle WebLogic Server instances.
Fix
Upgrade to Oracle WebLogic Server versions that include patches for this vulnerability as described in the Oracle April 2020 CPU.
