CVE-2022-21551: Vulnerability in Oracle GoldenGate (component: Oracle GoldenGate).

Vulnerability in Oracle GoldenGate (component: Oracle GoldenGate). The supported version that is affected is 21c: prior to 21.7.0.0.0; 19c: prior to 19.1.0.0.220719. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows high privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle GoldenGate. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle GoldenGate. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 6.8 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

CVE-2022-21551 is an Oracle GoldenGate flaw that can let a high-privileged attacker take over GoldenGate through HTTP, if they can reach the service and get another person to interact. The impact is serious because GoldenGate often handles critical data replication, but exploitation requires existing high privilege and user interaction.

Executive priority

Treat as a scheduled priority for systems running GoldenGate below fixed versions, especially in critical data replication environments. Escalate if HTTP access is broadly reachable or privileged access controls are weak.

Technical view

Oracle lists affected GoldenGate versions as 21c before 21.7.0.0.0 and 19c before 19.1.0.0.220719. CVSS 3.1 is 6.8 with AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H. Successful exploitation can fully compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability of GoldenGate.

Likely exposure

Exposure is most likely where Oracle GoldenGate 19c or 21c HTTP-accessible management or service interfaces are reachable by privileged users and not yet updated to the fixed release levels.

Exploitation context

The provided sources do not show CISA KEV listing or active exploitation evidence. Oracle describes the vulnerability as easily exploitable, but requiring high privileges, HTTP network access, and human interaction by someone other than the attacker.

Researcher notes

Key constraints are PR:H and UI:R, so validation should focus on version exposure, reachable HTTP surfaces, and privileged user workflows. The source bundle does not include a CWE, exploit details, or product components beyond Oracle GoldenGate.

Mitigation direction

  • Upgrade GoldenGate 21c to 21.7.0.0.0 or later.
  • Upgrade GoldenGate 19c to 19.1.0.0.220719 or later.
  • Apply Oracle July 2022 CPU guidance for GoldenGate.
  • Restrict HTTP access to GoldenGate to trusted administrative networks.
  • Review vendor guidance if immediate upgrade is not possible.

Validation and detection

  • Inventory Oracle GoldenGate 19c and 21c deployments.
  • Confirm installed versions against Oracle’s fixed release thresholds.
  • Identify GoldenGate HTTP interfaces reachable from user or administrative networks.
  • Review access controls for high-privileged GoldenGate accounts.
  • Verify patch completion through change records and version evidence.
