Executive brief
A vulnerability exists in the Kubernetes Operator component of Oracle's TimesTen In-Memory Database, which is used for high-performance data management. An attacker with low-level access to the underlying infrastructure could exploit this flaw to gain unauthorized access to sensitive business data. While the attack is difficult to execute, a successful breach could lead to a total compromise of all data stored within the database and potentially impact connected systems.
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 a confidentiality-impacting flaw that requires the attacker to have local logon access to the infrastructure where the database is executing. The attack complexity is high, suggesting specific timing or environmental conditions are necessary for exploitation. If successful, the attacker can achieve a scope change, potentially impacting products beyond the database itself and gaining unauthorized access to all accessible data. The vulnerability was disclosed as part of the Oracle July 2026 Critical Patch Update.
