Oracle · WebLogic Server

CVSS 7.4 EPSS 96% no public exploit indexed Fix deadline passed 24 June 2024

What it is

Oracle WebLogic Server, a product within the Fusion Middleware suite, contains an OS command injection vulnerability that allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code via a specially crafted HTTP request that includes a malicious XML document.

Why we say that

  • EPSS puts exploitation in the next 30 days at 96%
  • CISA's federal remediation deadline (2024-06-24) has passed
  • Listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalogue

Every line above comes from a named public source. Where the evidence is thin, we say so rather than inventing confidence — see methodology.

What to do

Apply mitigations per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.
