CVE-2026-60228Network attack vector

Unauthenticated cluster takeover

Published Jul 21, 2026 · Updated Jul 21, 2026

Missing authentication in Oracle Coherence Core allows remote attackers to take over a deployment through unauthenticated TCP access. Oracle identifies the affected locus only as Core and does not disclose which TCP operation lacks authentication; versions 12.2.1.4.0, 14.1.1.0.0, 14.1.2.0.0, and 15.1.1.0.0 are affected. Network access to the Coherence TCP service is sufficient, and exploitation grants full control of the Coherence deployment.
