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 · unedited
Vulnerability 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 confidence

Critical RMI-based remote code execution vulnerability in Oracle WebCenter Enterprise Capture's Client Bundle component. Unauthenticated attackers with network access can exploit this flaw to achieve full system compromise, including complete confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts.

MitigationApply Oracle Critical Patch Updates for WebCenter Enterprise Capture versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.0.0. If patches are unavailable, restrict network access to RMI ports and implement network segmentation to limit exposure.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify if Oracle WebCenter Enterprise Capture is installed
    Check for the product in Oracle inventory directories (e.g., $ORACLE_HOME/oraInventory/ContentsXML/oraclehome.xml) or look for installation directories containing 'Oracle_WC1' or 'capture' in the ORACLE_HOME path
    Affected if Oracle WebCenter Enterprise Capture is found on the system
  2. Determine the installed version of Oracle WebCenter Enterprise Capture
    Locate the version file in the product installation directory, commonly found in the 'VERSION' file or 'registry.xml' within the ORACLE_HOME/Oracle_WC1/capture directory, or query the Oracle inventory using 'opatch lsinventory' if available
    Affected if The installed version matches exactly 12.2.1.4.0 or 14.1.2.0.0
  3. Verify if Client Bundle component with RMI is enabled
    Check the WebCenter Capture configuration files (e.g., capture-config.xml or deployment descriptors) for Client Bundle service definitions and RMI registry bindings. Look for entries referencing 'ClientBundle' or 'rmi' protocol handlers in the configuration
    Affected if Client Bundle RMI service is configured and enabled in the capture environment
  4. Assess network exposure of RMI ports
    Review firewall rules, network configuration, and listener settings to determine if RMI ports (typically dynamic or configured in the 23791-23799 range for Oracle products) are accessible from untrusted networks. Use 'netstat -an | grep -E "2379[0-9]"' or similar to identify listening RMI ports
    Affected if RMI ports are exposed to network segments accessible by unauthenticated attackers

A user 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 RMI component enabled and accessible over the network to unauthenticated parties.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Apply Oracle Critical Patch Updates for WebCenter Enterprise Capture versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.0.0. If patches are unavailable, restrict network access to RMI ports and implement network segmentation to limit exposure.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

Latest supported 12.2.x or 14.x version of Oracle WebCenter Enterprise Capture (contact Oracle Support for exact version)

  1. 1. Identify the current Oracle WebCenter Enterprise Capture installation version and confirm it is either 12.2.1.4.0 or 14.1.2.0.0
  2. 2. Review Oracle's official Critical Patch Update advisories for the fix to CVE-2026-46781 at oracle.com/security-alerts
  3. 3. Download and apply the appropriate patch from Oracle Support (My Oracle Security) for the specific version
  4. 4. Alternatively, upgrade to a newer supported version of Oracle WebCenter Enterprise Capture that includes the security fix
  5. 5. After applying the patch or upgrade, restart the WebCenter Enterprise Capture services
  6. 6. Verify the RMI interface now requires proper authentication
  7. 7. Test that legitimate client connections to the Client Bundle component work correctly post-fix
Caveat Review Oracle's upgrade documentation for any configuration or compatibility changes between versions
