What it is

Multiple Oracle products contain a remote code execution vulnerability that allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access via T3 or HTTP to takeover the affected system.

Why we say that

  • EPSS puts exploitation in the next 30 days at 97%
  • 2 public exploits published
  • CISA's federal remediation deadline (2022-05-03) has passed
  • CVSS 9.8 critical

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 updates per vendor instructions.

Public exploit code

Indexed from Exploit-DB. Presence of code raises urgency; absence does not mean safety.
