Technical details
A vulnerability exists in the Libraries component of Oracle GoldenGate across multiple versions (19.x, 21.x, and 23.x). The flaw is local in nature, requiring the attacker to already have high-privileged logon access to the underlying infrastructure where GoldenGate is executing. Exploitation is complex (AC:H) and requires human interaction from a person other than the attacker (UI:R). If successful, an attacker can achieve unauthorized access to all GoldenGate data, perform limited data modifications, or cause a complete denial of service by crashing the application. The vulnerability is addressed in the Oracle July 2026 Critical Patch Update.
