CVE-2021-2458: Vulnerability in the Identity Manager product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: Identity Console).

Vulnerability in the Identity Manager product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: Identity Console). Supported versions that are affected are 11.1.2.2.0, 11.1.2.3.0, 12.2.1.3.0 and 12.2.1.4.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Identity Manager. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and while the vulnerability is in Identity Manager, attacks may significantly impact additional products. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Identity Manager accessible data as well as unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Identity Manager accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 7.6 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:N).

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

CVE-2021-2458 affects Oracle Identity Manager Identity Console. A low-privileged user with HTTP access can compromise Identity Manager if another person interacts with the attack. The main business risk is exposure of critical identity data, with some ability to alter data.

Executive priority

Treat as high priority for organizations using affected Oracle Identity Manager versions, especially where the Identity Console is widely reachable. The risk centers on critical identity data confidentiality and limited integrity impact, not service outage.

Technical view

Oracle reports affected Identity Manager versions 11.1.2.2.0, 11.1.2.3.0, 12.2.1.3.0, and 12.2.1.4.0. CVSS 7.6 reflects network attack vector, low complexity, low privileges, required user interaction, changed scope, high confidentiality impact, low integrity impact, and no availability impact.

Likely exposure

Exposure is most likely where Oracle Identity Manager Identity Console is deployed on an affected version and reachable over HTTP by low-privileged authenticated users. Internet-facing or broadly accessible administrative identity services increase urgency.

Exploitation context

The provided sources do not show CISA KEV listing or active exploitation evidence. Oracle states exploitation is easy, network-accessible via HTTP, requires low privileges, and needs human interaction from someone other than the attacker.

Researcher notes

The source bundle does not identify a CWE, root cause, proof of concept, or exploitation in the wild. Scope is changed, meaning impact may extend beyond Identity Manager-accessible data into additional products, per Oracle's description.

Mitigation direction

  • Apply Oracle's July 2021 Critical Patch Update or a later supported CPU covering Identity Manager.
  • Restrict HTTP access to Identity Console to trusted administrative networks and users.
  • Review Oracle guidance for any version-specific prerequisites or compensating controls.
  • Reduce unnecessary low-privileged access to Identity Manager until remediation is confirmed.

Validation and detection

  • Inventory Oracle Identity Manager deployments and confirm exact versions.
  • Verify whether Identity Console is reachable over HTTP from user or untrusted network segments.
  • Confirm July 2021 CPU or later relevant Oracle patches are installed.
  • Review identity data access and modification logs for unusual low-privileged activity.
