CISA KEV Advisory
Oracle WebLogic Server Unspecified Vulnerability
Oracle WebLogic Server contains an unspecified vulnerability which can allow an unauthenticated attacker with T3 network access to compromise the server.
Apply updates per vendor instructions.
Risk Analysis
This vulnerability in Oracle WebLogic Server allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access via T3 to fully compromise the server. The extremely high EPSS score of 0.94422 indicates a very high probability of exploitation, making this a severe risk.
This vulnerability is actively exploited in the wild and is listed in CISA's KEV catalog, confirming its confirmed exploitation. The remote nature of the attack vector (T3 network access) makes it particularly dangerous.
Apply the latest security patches and updates for Oracle WebLogic Server. Restrict T3 network access to trusted sources only and implement network segmentation to limit exposure.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2018-2628 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
CISA has added CVE-2018-2628 to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, confirming active exploitation in the wild. U.S. federal agencies are required to patch this within the mandated timeframe, and all organizations should treat remediation as urgent.
