Oracle’s Identity Crisis: Unpatched Vulnerability Goes Rogue!
CISA confirmed that the Oracle Identity Manager vulnerability CVE-2025-61757 has been exploited in the wild. This flaw, a cybersecurity piñata, was patched in October 2025 but not before attackers had a field day. It allows remote code execution, making it as popular as free Wi-Fi at a coffee shop. Stay secure, folks!
Hot Take:
While Oracle may have patched the hole in their fusion ship, someone forgot to tell the pirates that the treasure chest is closed. CISA’s confirmation that the Oracle Identity Manager vulnerability is being exploited in the wild is like watching a rerun of a cybersecurity whodunit where the suspect is always the guy in the hoodie. Let’s just hope this patch isn’t more of an “eye patch” and actually solves the problem, because the last thing we need is another sequel in the saga of the cyber pirates!
Key Points:
– Oracle patched a critical vulnerability, CVE-2025-61757, in its Identity Manager, part of its Fusion Middleware platform.
– The flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to execute remote code, creating a potential for significant security breaches.
– CISA confirmed the vulnerability has been exploited in the wild, adding it to their Known Exploited Vulnerabilities list.
– Researchers from Searchlight Cyber found and reported the issue, and shared technical details and PoC code.
– Despite Oracle’s patch, the vulnerability was exploited as a zero-day before the patch’s release.
