U.S. CISA adds an Oracle Fusion Middlewareflaw to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog

U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) adds an Oracle Fusion Middleware flaw to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA)addeda an Oracle Fusion Middlewareflaw, tracked as CVE-2025-61757 (CVSS score of 9.8), to itsKnown Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog.

The vulnerability is a missing authentication for a critical function that can result in pre-authenticated remote code execution. The flaw is easily exploitable and allows an unauthenticated attacker with HTTP network access to compromise Identity Manager, enabling a full takeover of the system.

The flaw impacts versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0. Oracle addressedthe flaw with the release of Oracle Critical Patch Update Advisory – October 2025.

Adam Kues and Shubham Shah of Assetnote reported the vulnerability.

“Vulnerability in the Identity Manager product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: REST WebServices). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0.” reads the advisory. “Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Identity Manager. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Identity Manager.”

SANS researcher Johannes B. Ullrich recently reported that an analysis of his organization’s honeypot logs revealed multiple HTTP POST attempts between August 30 and September 9, 2025, targeting the Oracle Identity Manager endpoint associated with CVE-2025-61757. The scans originated from different IPs but used the same user agent, suggesting a single attacker. The 556-byte POST payloads indicate likely exploitation as a zero-day, weeks before Oracle released a patch. Attempts came from 89.238.132[.]76, 185.245.82[.]81, and 138.199.29[.]153.

According toBinding Operational Directive (BOD) 22-01: Reducing the Significant Risk of Known Exploited Vulnerabilities, FCEB agencies have to address the identified vulnerabilities by the due date to protect their networks against attacks exploiting the flaws in the catalog.

Experts also recommend that private organizations review theCatalogand address the vulnerabilities in their infrastructure.

CISA orders federal agencies to fix the vulnerabilities byDecember 12, 2025.

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.
