Summary
CVE-2026-60903 is a vulnerability in the Content Server component of Oracle WebCenter Content (part of Oracle Fusion Middleware) that allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to compromise the product over HTTP. Oracle rates it 8.7 (High) and notes it is difficult to exploit but that successful exploitation can result in unauthorized creation, deletion, or modification of critical data, as well as unauthorized access to data accessible to WebCenter Content. The CVSS "Scope: Changed" designation indicates the vulnerability in this component may significantly impact additional products.
Technical details
- Root cause: A flaw within the Content Server component of Oracle WebCenter Content; Oracle has not published implementation-level details of the underlying weakness.
- Trigger conditions: Oracle classifies the flaw as "difficult to exploit" (CVSS Attack Complexity: High), meaning exploitation likely requires specific conditions or attacker knowledge beyond simply reaching the service.
- Attack vector: Network-based, over HTTP, with no authentication and no user interaction required.
- Impact: High confidentiality and integrity impact — unauthorized creation, deletion, or modification of critical data, and unauthorized access to data accessible to WebCenter Content. No availability impact. The "Scope: Changed" rating reflects that impact may extend beyond the vulnerable component itself.
Affected software
- Oracle WebCenter Content 12.2.1.4.0
- Oracle WebCenter Content 14.1.2.0.0
Severity
- CVSS v3.1 Base Score: 8.7 (High)
- Vector:
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N
Mitigation and recommended actions
- Immediate: Apply the fixes provided in Oracle’s August 2026 Critical Patch Update (Security Alert Advisory dated August 18, 2026) for the affected WebCenter Content versions (12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.0.0).
- If no patch can be applied immediately: Oracle states this vulnerability applies only to systems that have been specifically configured (as it is a component-level issue); review Content Server configuration and restrict network access to the service to trusted hosts/networks as a temporary compensating control until the patch is applied.
