CVE-2025-21498Network attack vector

Unauthenticated disclosure of accessible server data

Published Jan 21, 2025 · Updated Jan 31, 2025

Information disclosure in Oracle HTTP Server 12.2.1.4.0 allows remote attackers to read a subset of accessible data via HTTP. Oracle has not published the flawed function or request-handling operation within the Core component. Network access to an HTTP endpoint is sufficient; the documented consequence is limited to unauthorized reads, with no integrity or availability impact.
