Attack detections on Oracle WebLogic servers.

Oracle WebLogic servers are being attacked by hackers attempting to take over vulnerable installations that have not received a recent patch for a critical vulnerability.

The security bug at the heart of these hacking attempts is a vulnerability in a component of Oracle WebLogic middleware that allows an attacker to take control of the entire server without having to know its password.

The vulnerability was assigned a “Critical” rating and a severity score of 9,8 out of 10 on the CVSv3 severity scale due to its impact, remote exploitation factor, and ease of exploitation.

Details about this vulnerability have never been made public, and Oracle released fixes for this bug on July 18, last week.  (Source)
