CVE-2026-60629 in JDeveloper
Summary
by MITRE • 07/22/2026
Vulnerability in the Oracle JDeveloper product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: Data Visualization Tools). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.0.0. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle JDeveloper. While the vulnerability is in Oracle JDeveloper, attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle JDeveloper accessible data as well as unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle JDeveloper accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 7.5 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:N).

This vulnerability resides within Oracle JDeveloper's Data Visualization Tools component of Oracle Fusion Middleware, affecting specifically versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.0.0. The flaw represents a significant security weakness that can be exploited by unauthenticated attackers over HTTP network connections without requiring any prior authentication or privileged access. The vulnerability's classification as difficult to exploit indicates that while it requires some technical skill or specific conditions to leverage, the attack surface remains accessible to malicious actors who can reach the targeted system through standard network protocols.
The technical implementation of this vulnerability stems from insufficient input validation and access control mechanisms within the Data Visualization Tools component, which allows attackers to manipulate the application's data handling processes. This weakness creates an opportunity for unauthorized data access and modification operations that could compromise the integrity and confidentiality of sensitive information stored within or accessible through Oracle JDeveloper. The CVSS 3.1 score of 7.5 reflects the severity of potential impacts including high confidentiality risk and low integrity impact, indicating that while the primary concern is data exposure, there is also a moderate risk to data modification capabilities.
The operational impact extends beyond the immediate Oracle JDeveloper environment, as demonstrated by the scope change aspect mentioned in the vulnerability description. This indicates that successful exploitation could potentially affect additional Oracle products or systems within the broader Fusion Middleware ecosystem, creating cascading security implications that extend far beyond the initially targeted component. Attackers who successfully compromise this vulnerability can gain unauthorized access to critical data and achieve complete access to all data accessible through Oracle JDeveloper, while also obtaining unauthorized update, insert, or delete privileges for certain data sets.
Organizations should implement multiple layers of defense to mitigate this vulnerability including network segmentation to restrict access to Oracle JDeveloper installations, implementing robust firewall rules that limit HTTP access to authorized personnel only, and ensuring regular patch management processes are in place. The vulnerability aligns with CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation) and CWE-284 (Improper Access Control) categories, representing fundamental security flaws that require both immediate remediation and long-term architectural improvements. According to ATT&CK framework, this vulnerability maps to T1190 (Exploit Public-Facing Application) and T1071.004 (Application Layer Protocol: DNS) where attackers may leverage network-based protocols to establish initial access before escalating privileges or moving laterally within the environment.
The security implications of this vulnerability are particularly concerning given that Oracle JDeveloper serves as a development platform for enterprise applications, meaning compromised data could include source code, configuration files, and potentially sensitive business logic. Organizations should conduct comprehensive risk assessments to determine the full extent of their exposure, implement monitoring solutions to detect anomalous access patterns, and establish incident response procedures specifically tailored to address potential exploitation attempts. Regular security audits and vulnerability scanning processes become essential to identify similar weaknesses in related Oracle Fusion Middleware components that may present comparable attack vectors. The scope change element emphasizes the need for broader security posture assessments that consider how vulnerabilities in one component might impact interconnected systems within the enterprise architecture.
