## Technical details

A local privilege escalation vulnerability in the Content Server component allows a low-privileged attacker with local logon access to bypass security controls and access unauthorized data. The attack requires local infrastructure access but no user interaction, and successful exploitation grants access to all WebCenter Content data. The vulnerability carries a scope change impact, meaning compromise may extend to other connected Oracle products.
