CVE-2026-60353 Overview
CVE-2026-60353 is an information disclosure vulnerability in Oracle JDeveloper, a component of Oracle Fusion Middleware. The flaw resides in the Application Development Framework (ADF) Faces component. Supported versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.0.0 are affected.
An authenticated attacker with low privileges and network access via HTTP can exploit the weakness. Successful exploitation grants unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle JDeveloper accessible data. Oracle rates the attack complexity as high, which limits practical exploitation scenarios.
Critical Impact
Successful exploitation allows a low-privileged, network-based attacker to obtain unauthorized read access to a limited subset of Oracle JDeveloper data. Integrity and availability are not impacted.
Affected Products
- Oracle JDeveloper 12.2.1.4.0
- Oracle JDeveloper 14.1.2.0.0
- Component: Oracle Fusion Middleware ADF Faces

Technical Details for CVE-2026-60353
Vulnerability Analysis
The vulnerability affects the ADF Faces component of Oracle JDeveloper. ADF Faces provides the JavaServer Faces (JSF) user interface framework used by JDeveloper and other Fusion Middleware products. The flaw exposes a subset of application data to authenticated users over HTTP.
Oracle classifies the issue as an information disclosure weakness impacting confidentiality only. Integrity and availability of the target system remain unaffected. The attack complexity is high, meaning exploitation depends on conditions outside the attacker's direct control.
According to Oracle, an attacker must already hold low-privileged access to the JDeveloper environment before attempting exploitation. The Exploit Prediction Scoring System places this issue in the lower risk band, consistent with the constrained impact and elevated exploitation difficulty.
Root Cause
Oracle has not published the technical root cause. The advisory identifies ADF Faces as the vulnerable component and characterizes the outcome as read access to a limited data subset. Consult the Oracle July 2026 Security Alert for vendor-provided details.
Attack Vector
An attacker sends crafted HTTP requests to an exposed Oracle JDeveloper interface. The attacker must authenticate with low privileges before triggering the flaw. Because attack complexity is high, exploitation likely requires specific runtime conditions or timing to succeed. No public proof-of-concept code is available at the time of publication.
No verified exploit code is available. Refer to the vendor advisory for authoritative technical detail.
Detection Methods for CVE-2026-60353
Indicators of Compromise
- Anomalous HTTP requests from low-privileged authenticated sessions targeting ADF Faces endpoints in JDeveloper.
- Unexpected read access patterns against JDeveloper resources by accounts without a business need.
- HTTP responses returning ADF Faces content to sessions outside normal usage baselines.
Detection Strategies
- Enable verbose access logging on the Oracle JDeveloper web tier and forward logs to a central analytics platform.
- Correlate authentication events with subsequent requests to ADF Faces URIs to identify low-privileged accounts probing the component.
- Baseline normal user behavior in JDeveloper and alert on statistical deviations in data access volume or scope.
Monitoring Recommendations
- Track failed and successful authentication attempts against Fusion Middleware components for privilege abuse patterns.
- Monitor egress traffic from JDeveloper hosts for unusual data transfer volumes indicative of information harvesting.
- Review Oracle Fusion Middleware audit trails on a recurring cadence for access to sensitive ADF Faces resources.
How to Mitigate CVE-2026-60353
Immediate Actions Required
- Apply the patches provided in the Oracle July 2026 Critical Patch Update to Oracle JDeveloper versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.0.0.
- Inventory all Oracle JDeveloper instances and confirm patch status across development, staging, and production environments.
- Restrict network access to JDeveloper interfaces so that only trusted development networks can reach the service over HTTP.
- Review privileged and low-privileged account rosters and revoke access from users without an active business need.
Patch Information
Oracle addressed CVE-2026-60353 in the Oracle July 2026 Security Alert. Administrators should follow the Critical Patch Update advisory to identify and apply the correct patch for their JDeveloper release train.
Workarounds
- Enforce HTTPS and network segmentation to reduce exposure of the JDeveloper web tier to untrusted networks.
- Apply least-privilege principles to all JDeveloper accounts and remove dormant low-privileged users.
- Place JDeveloper behind a reverse proxy or web application firewall to inspect and rate-limit inbound HTTP traffic until patching completes.
# Example: restrict JDeveloper HTTP access to a management subnet using iptables
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 7101 -s 10.10.20.0/24 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 7101 -j DROP
