CVE-2026-87370 · Severity: medium · CVSS 6.5 · Published 2026-10-20

Oracle WebCenter Content is an enterprise document and content management system used to store and manage critical business data. A flaw in the Content Server component allows a low-privileged attacker to gain unauthorized access to sensitive data or modify content, but requires tricking another user into performing an action. The vulnerability could also affect other Oracle Fusion Middleware products that integrate with WebCenter Content.

## Technical details

A difficult-to-exploit vulnerability in Oracle WebCenter Content's Content Server component allows a network-based attacker with low privileges to bypass access controls via HTTP. The attack requires user interaction (social engineering or tricking a legitimate user) and results in scope change—meaning the compromise extends beyond WebCenter Content itself to potentially affect other connected systems. An attacker can read critical data or modify records.
