CVE-2024-21216
Oracle
CVE-2024-21216 is a critical vulnerability in Oracle WebLogic Server, potentially allowing complete server takeover. This WebLogic Server vulnerability affects versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.1.0.0, making them prime targets for unauthenticated remote attackers. The high CVSS score of 9.8 underscores the severity, but SOCRadar's SVRS of 84 further emphasizes the immediate threat due to observed exploitation activity. Successful exploitation grants attackers full control over the Oracle WebLogic Server via T3 and IIOP protocols. The risk is significant, as attackers can access sensitive data, modify critical system configurations, and disrupt essential services. Given the ease of exploitation and the high impact, organizations using the affected WebLogic Server versions should apply the necessary patches immediately to mitigate this critical risk.
