CVE-2026-46778
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 Oracle WebCenter Enterprise Capture product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: Client Bundle). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.0.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via RMI to compromise Oracle WebCenter Enterprise Capture. While the vulnerability is in Oracle WebCenter Enterprise Capture, attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle WebCenter Enterprise Capture. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 10.0 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/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 confidenceA critical deserialization or remote code execution vulnerability exists in Oracle WebCenter Enterprise Capture's Client Bundle component. The flaw is exploitable remotely via RMI without authentication, allowing a complete system takeover. The CVSS 10 score reflects complete confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromise.

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 if Oracle WebCenter Enterprise Capture is installedCheck for Oracle WebCenter Enterprise Capture installation directories, services, or installed packages on the system. Common locations include Oracle Fusion Middleware home directories.Affected if The product is installed on the system
-
Determine the installed version of Oracle WebCenter Enterprise CaptureLocate version information in the installation directory, typically found in product configuration files, manifest files, or version-specific directories under the Oracle home. Compare the installed version against the affected versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.0.0.Affected if The installed version matches 12.2.1.4.0 or 14.1.2.0.0 exactly
-
Verify if Client Bundle component is deployedCheck the Oracle WebCenter Enterprise Capture deployment configuration for the presence and status of the Client Bundle component. This is typically configured in the WebCenter Capture admin console or deployment descriptors.Affected if Client Bundle component is enabled or deployed
-
Confirm RMI network protocol is exposedIdentify if RMI endpoints are configured and listening on network interfaces. Check Oracle WebCenter Capture network configuration files and listening ports. RMI typically uses ports in the dynamic range or configured JRMP ports.Affected if RMI protocol is enabled and accessible over the network on any interface
-
Assess network accessibility of RMI endpointsReview network firewall rules, Oracle WebLogic server network configuration, and port bindings to determine if RMI endpoints are reachable from untrusted networks. Check if network access restrictions are in place.Affected if RMI endpoints are accessible from unauthenticated or untrusted network segments
A system is affected if Oracle WebCenter Enterprise Capture versions 12.2.1.4.0 or 14.1.2.0.0 are installed with the Client Bundle component enabled and RMI endpoints exposed to accessible network paths.

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.
dbcve · scopedApply Oracle Critical Patch Updates when released for versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.0.0. As an immediate workaround, restrict network access to RMI ports or disable unnecessary RMI endpoints until patching is possible.
- Check My Oracle Support (support.oracle.com) for the specific patch for CVE-2026-46778 for Oracle WebCenter Enterprise Capture
- Apply the Oracle Critical Patch Update (CPU) that addresses this vulnerability
- If no specific patch is available, upgrade to the latest available Oracle WebCenter Enterprise Capture version
- As an immediate network-level mitigation, restrict or block network access to RMI ports (typically ports 7001-7005 or custom RMI ports) from untrusted sources
- Verify the capture environment is not exposed to untrusted network segments
