CVE-2026-61029Network attack vector

Unauthenticated application takeover

Published Aug 18, 2026 · Updated Aug 20, 2026

Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle WebCenter Sites 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.0.0 allows remote attackers to take over the application via HTTP. Oracle's August 18, 2026 advisory and the published CVE record do not disclose the affected endpoint, code path, or the unsafe operation on attacker-controlled HTTP input. Exposure requires network reachability to the WebCenter Sites HTTP service and no credentials or user interaction; successful exploitation yields full compromise of the product and may also affect additional products because Oracle scored the flaw with scope change.
