A critical vulnerability in Oracle Identity Manager, identified as CVE-2025-61757 and rated 9.8 on the CVSS scale, is being actively exploited by threat actors. The flaw affects Oracle Identity Manager versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0, allowing unauthenticated attackers to remotely execute code via the Oracle REST Web Services component. The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has issued warnings about ongoing exploitation, and researchers from Searchlight Cyber have detailed how attackers can bypass authentication by appending specific strings such as ?WSDL or ;.wadl to REST endpoints.
Organizations using affected Oracle Identity Manager versions are urged to apply the vendor's recent patches immediately to mitigate the risk of compromise. The vulnerability's active exploitation highlights the importance of timely patch management and monitoring for unusual activity on exposed Oracle REST Web Services endpoints. Security teams should review their systems for signs of unauthorized access and ensure that all mitigations recommended by Oracle and CISA are implemented without delay.

Oracle issued an out-of-band Security Alert for `CVE-2026-21992`, a critical unauthenticated remote code execution flaw affecting Oracle Fusion Middleware deployments that use Oracle Identity Manager and Oracle Web Services Manager. The vulnerability carries a CVSS 3.1 score of **9.8** and can be exploited remotely over the network with low complexity and no user interaction, raising particular concern for internet-facing systems. Oracle said the flaw affects the REST Web Services component in Oracle Identity Manager and the Web Services Security module in Oracle Web Services Manager. Successful exploitation could result in full system compromise, including credential theft and lateral movement, and the company urged customers to apply available patches immediately. Oracle also warned that organizations running unsupported versions should upgrade to supported releases, as fixes are only provided under Premier Support or Extended Support.

A critical vulnerability, CVE-2025-61757, has been identified in Oracle Fusion Middleware's Identity Manager component, allowing remote, unauthenticated attackers to achieve arbitrary remote code execution. CISA has added this vulnerability to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog, citing evidence of active exploitation and urging all organizations, especially those in the federal sector, to prioritize remediation. The affected versions include Oracle Identity Manager 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0, and exploitation could result in complete system compromise. Security researchers recommend immediate upgrades to patched versions to mitigate risk. Tools such as runZero can assist organizations in identifying vulnerable Oracle Identity Manager installations using queries like `vendor:="Oracle" product:="Identity Manager"`. CISA's Binding Operational Directive 22-01 mandates federal agencies to remediate KEV-listed vulnerabilities by specified deadlines, but all organizations are strongly encouraged to address this critical issue promptly to reduce exposure to active threats.

CISA has added **CVE-2026-21962** to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog after confirming active attacks against **Oracle HTTP Server** and the **Oracle WebLogic Server Proxy Plug-in**. The maximum-severity flaw, rated **CVSS 10.0**, affects versions `12.2.1.4.0`, `14.1.1.0.0`, and `14.1.2.0.0`, and can be exploited by unauthenticated attackers over HTTP to compromise exposed systems, including unauthorized access to and modification of critical data. Public reporting describes the issue as a URI normalization path traversal bug that may also enable privilege escalation and execution of injected code through crafted requests. Oracle issued patches in its January 2026 Critical Patch Update, but reporting from GreyNoise and CloudSEK indicated exploitation in the wild, prompting CISA to order Federal Civilian Executive Branch agencies to remediate by **August 27, 2026** under **Binding Operational Directive 26-04**. Because CISA did not publish indicators of compromise, defenders are being urged to patch immediately and to treat internet-facing Oracle WebLogic and HTTP Server deployments as potentially compromised until proven otherwise.
