CVE-2022-21371Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated file disclosure via path traversal

Published Jan 19, 2022 · Updated Sep 24, 2024

Path traversal in Oracle WebLogic Server 12.1.3.0.0, 12.2.1.3.0, 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.1.0.0 allows remote attackers to read files via HTTP. The Web Container mishandles a crafted HTTP path and performs local file inclusion, exposing files accessible to the server process. No authentication or user interaction is required; impact is unauthorized confidentiality access, with no documented integrity or availability effect.
