Oracle Flaw Frenzy: Agencies Rush to Patch Before December Deadline!
CISA has ordered US federal agencies to patch the Oracle Identity Manager flaw CVE-2025-61757 in three weeks. This easily exploitable bug allows attackers to commandeer systems, and evidence suggests it’s been abused before a fix was out. Looks like security teams are in for a December surprise!
Hot Take:
Looks like the Oracle of Delphi predicted this one wrong! CISA’s latest directive is causing quite the scramble, as federal agencies rush to patch up an Oracle Identity Manager flaw that’s been playing hide and seek with attackers for months. It’s time to button up those togas and get patching before the end of days (or, you know, December 12).
Key Points:
- CISA mandates federal agencies to patch Oracle Identity Manager flaw CVE-2025-61757 by December 12.
- The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to potentially take over the system with a single HTTP request.
- Researchers suggest attackers exploited the flaw before Oracle released a patch on October 21.
- Oracle has been criticized for its lack of transparency in vulnerability disclosures.
- The urgency is compounded by Oracle’s challenging history with vulnerability management, especially after the Clop incident.
