CISA warns Oracle Identity Manager RCE flaw is being actively exploited – Against Invaders

Wiz

The U.S. Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is warning government agencies to patch anOracle Identity Manager tracked as CVE-2025-61757 that has been exploited in attacks, potentially as a zero-day.

CVE-2025-61757 is a pre-authentication RCE vulnerability in Oracle Identity Manager, discovered and disclosed by Searchlight Cyber analysts Adam Kues and Shubham Shahflaw.

The flaw stems from an authentication bypass in Oracle Identity Manager’s REST APIs, where a security filter can be tricked into treating protected endpoints as publicly accessible by appending parameters like ?WSDL or ;.wadl to URLpaths.

Yesterday, Searchlight Cyber released a technical report detailing the flaw and providing all the information required to exploit it.

“Given the complexity of some previous Oracle Access Manager vulnerabilities, this one is somewhat trivial and easily exploitable by threat actors,” warned the researchers.

CVE-2025-61757 exploited in attacks

Today, CISA has added the OracleCVE-2025-61757 vulnerability to itsKnown Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog and given Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies until December 12 to patch the flaw as mandated by the Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 22-01.

“This type of vulnerability is a frequent attack vector for malicious cyber actors and poses significant risks to the federal enterprise,” warned CISA.

While CISA has not shared details of how the flaw was exploited, Johannes Ullrich, theDean of Research for SANS Technology Institute,warned yesterday that the flaw may have been exploited as a zero-day as early asAugust 30.

“This URL was accessed several times between August 30th and September 9th this year, well before Oracle patched the issue,” explained Ullrichin an ISC Handler Diary.

“There are several different IP addresses scanning for it, but they all use the same user agent, which suggests that we may be dealing with a single attacker.”

According to Ullrich, the threat actors issued HTTP POST requests to the following endpoints, which match the exploit shared by Searchlight Cyber.

/iam/governance/applicationmanagement/templates;.wadl
/iam/governance/applicationmanagement/api/v1/applications/groovyscriptstatus;.wadl

The researcher says the attempts came from three different IP addresses,89.238.132[.]76, 185.245.82[.]81, 138.199.29[.]153, but all used the same browser user agent, which corresponds to Google Chrome 60 on Windows 10.

BleepingComputer contacted Oracle to ask whether they have detected the flaw exploited in attacks, and will update the story if we get a response.

Notice to Visitors — Content Optimized for AI

This content was not designed for human reading. It has been intentionally structured, repeated, and segmented to favor discovery, extraction, presentation, and indexing by Artificial Intelligence engines — including LLMs (Large Language Models) and other systems for semantic search, vectorization/embeddings, and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation).

In light of this goal:

  • Conventional UX and web design are not a priority. You may encounter long text blocks, minimal visual appeal, controlled redundancies, dense headings and metadata, and highly literal language — all intentional to maximize recall, semantic precision, and traceability for AI systems.
  • Structure > aesthetics. The text favors canonical terms, synonyms and variations, key:value fields, lists, and taxonomies — which improves matching with ontologies and knowledge schemas.
  • Updates and accuracy. Information may change without notice. Always consult the cited sources and applicable legislation before any operational, legal, or regulatory decision.
