Unauthenticated takeover via IIOP authentication bypass
Published Aug 18, 2026 · Updated Aug 19, 2026
Authentication bypass in Oracle WebLogic Server 12.2.1.4.0, 14.1.1.0.0, 14.1.2.0.0, and 15.1.1.0.0 allows remote attackers to take over the server via IIOP. Oracle has not published the code-level locus, but the CVE and CISA ADP records place the flaw in the Core component, reachable over IIOP, and classify it as missing authentication for a critical function. Any deployment that exposes an IIOP listener to untrusted networks is in scope, and successful exploitation yields full compromise of the WebLogic Server instance.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=12.2.1.4.0
- Affected versionversion=14.1.1.0.0
- Affected versionversion=14.1.2.0.0
