CVE-2026-61038Network attack vector

Unauthenticated data access and modification

Published Aug 18, 2026 · Updated Aug 20, 2026

Access control vulnerability in Oracle WebCenter Sites 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.0.0 allows remote attackers to read and modify data via HTTP. Oracle and NVD disclose the issue only at the WebCenter Sites component level and do not identify the vulnerable endpoint, code path, or access-control check that mishandles untrusted requests. Exposure is limited to unauthenticated network reachability over HTTP, and the published impact is unauthorized read access to critical or all accessible data plus update, insert, or delete access to some accessible data.
