CVE-2026-60402 · Severity: critical · CVSS 9.9 · Published 2026-07-21

A critical vulnerability exists in the Kubernetes Operator component of Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database, a high-performance database used for real-time applications. An attacker with low-level access to the network can exploit this flaw to take full control of the database system. Because this component manages database deployments within a cloud environment, a successful attack could also compromise other connected systems and services, leading to significant data loss or operational disruption.

## Technical details

This vulnerability affects the Kubernetes Operator component of Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database version 26.1.1.1.0. It is classified as easily exploitable, requiring only low-privileged user credentials and network access via HTTPS. The flaw is notable for a 'scope change' (CVSS S:C), meaning a successful exploit allows the attacker to move beyond the database's security boundaries to impact the underlying Kubernetes environment or other integrated products. Successful exploitation results in a complete loss of confidentiality, integrity, and availability (takeover of the database). Users are advised to refer to the Oracle July 2026 Critical Patch Update for remediation steps.
