Readycheck to confirm it

Vulnerability in the Oracle WebLogic Server product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: Core). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.1.3.0, 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.1.0.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via T3, IIOP to compromise Oracle WebLogic Server. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle WebLogic Server accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 7.5 (Confidentiality impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N).

Impact

Unauthenticated attackers can gain unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle WebLogic Server data through T3/IIOP protocols.

Fix

Apply Oracle security patches as described in the January 2023 CPU for WebLogic Server versions 12.2.1.3.0, 12.2.1.4.0, and 14.1.1.0.0.

How to confirm it

Positive when: success == true and contains(response, 'NamingContext/InvalidName') and contains(interactsh_protocol, 'dns')
