Unauthorized data access via improper access control
Published Aug 18, 2026 · Updated Aug 20, 2026
Improper access control in Runtime Tools in Oracle WebCenter Portal 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.0.0 allows remote attackers to read data via HTTP. Oracle has not disclosed the affected endpoint or request path, but NVD maps the issue to CWE-284, indicating that Runtime Tools fails to enforce an access restriction on HTTP-reachable content or operations. Exposure requires only network reachability to the portal and, per Oracle's published score, the demonstrated impact is confidentiality loss with scope change rather than data modification or service interruption.
