This vulnerability exists within Oracle GoldenGate's Receiver Service Executable component, specifically affecting versions ranging from 19.1.0.0.0 through 19.30.0.0, 21.3 through 21.21, and 23.4 through 23.26.1. The flaw represents a significant security weakness that enables attackers with minimal privileges and network access via HTTP protocol to compromise the targeted system. The vulnerability's exploitability is rated as easily accessible, meaning that an attacker with basic network connectivity and low privilege level can potentially execute successful attacks without requiring extensive technical expertise or specialized tools. This characteristic significantly increases the attack surface and makes the vulnerability particularly concerning for organizations relying on Oracle GoldenGate for data integration and replication services.
The technical nature of this vulnerability manifests as a complete denial of service condition that can be triggered through the Receiver Service Executable component. When successfully exploited, the vulnerability allows an attacker to cause either a hang or frequent crashes within the Oracle GoldenGate system, effectively rendering the service unavailable to legitimate users and operations. The availability impact is severe enough to warrant a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.5, which reflects the high potential for system disruption. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) indicates that network-based attacks require low complexity, only low privilege levels, and no user interaction, while the impact on availability is high. This vulnerability falls under CWE category 400 which encompasses improper handling of resources or conditions leading to resource exhaustion or system instability.
The operational impact of this vulnerability extends beyond simple service disruption as it affects critical business processes that depend on Oracle GoldenGate's continuous operation for data replication and synchronization tasks. Organizations utilizing GoldenGate for mission-critical applications face potential downtime that can cascade into broader business interruptions, particularly in environments where real-time data consistency is essential. The vulnerability's ability to cause repeated crashes or hangs means that the system may require manual intervention to restore normal operations, potentially leading to extended periods of service unavailability and increased operational overhead. System administrators must implement immediate remediation measures to prevent exploitation while ensuring business continuity requirements are maintained.
Organizations should prioritize applying Oracle's security patches and updates as soon as they become available to address this vulnerability effectively. The patching process should include thorough testing in non-production environments before deployment to ensure compatibility with existing GoldenGate configurations and workflows. Network segmentation strategies can provide additional protection by limiting direct access to the Receiver Service Executable component, reducing exposure to unauthorized network-based attacks. Security monitoring should be enhanced to detect potential exploitation attempts through unusual network traffic patterns or system behavior that might indicate attempted denial of service attacks. The vulnerability's classification under the ATT&CK framework would place it within the privilege escalation and denial of service categories, emphasizing the need for comprehensive security controls across multiple attack surface areas including network access controls, application-level protections, and continuous monitoring capabilities to prevent unauthorized exploitation.
