CVE-2026-35294
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedVulnerability in the Identity Manager Connector product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: Mainframe Connectors). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Identity Manager Connector. While the vulnerability is in Identity Manager Connector, attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Identity Manager Connector. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 9.9 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H).
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceOracle Identity Manager Connector has a critical vulnerability in the Mainframe Connectors component that allows a low-privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to achieve complete takeover of the Identity Manager Connector. The CVSS 9.9 score with scope change indicates the compromise may propagate to additional products in the Oracle Fusion Middleware environment.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify Oracle Identity Manager versionCheck the installed version of Oracle Identity Manager by reviewing the Oracle inventory file (ORACLE_HOME/inventory/ContentsXML/oraclehome.xml) or by querying the MBean org.oracle.idm:id=Version through the WebLogic Administration ConsoleAffected if The installed version matches 12.2.1.4.0 or 14.1.2.1.0 exactly (note: exact version match required based on affected versions listed)
-
Verify Mainframe Connectors component statusReview the Oracle Identity Manager deployment configuration to determine if the Mainframe Connectors module is deployed and active. Check through the WebLogic Administration Console under Deployments or examine the connector configuration files in the OIM_HOME/connectors directoryAffected if Mainframe Connectors component is deployed and running on the affected version
-
Assess network exposure of Identity Manager ConnectorReview network configuration and firewall rules to determine if the Identity Manager Connector is accessible via HTTP from untrusted networks. Check listener configurations and exposed endpointsAffected if Connector is reachable via HTTP from network segments outside the trusted zone
-
Review HTTP access logs for suspicious patternsExamine HTTP access logs for the Identity Manager Connector (typically found in WebLogic logs directory) for unusual request patterns, especially from low-privileged accounts or unexpected source IP addressesAffected if Unusual HTTP traffic patterns detected, particularly requests targeting mainframe connector endpoints from unexpected sources
A system is affected if it runs Oracle Identity Manager version 12.2.1.4.0 or 14.1.2.1.0 with the Mainframe Connectors component enabled and exposed to network access

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataApply Oracle security patches for versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0 as soon as Oracle releases them. In the interim, restrict network access to Identity Manager Connector systems and monitor for unusual HTTP traffic patterns.
