A honeypot with a lot of interaction shows that hackers took advantage of a serious flaw in Oracle WebLogic Server This article explores flaw oracle weblogic. . CVE-2026-21962 is the name of this vulnerability.

It has a CVSS score of 10.0 and lets attackers run code from a distance without having to log in. Attackers mostly used rented Virtual Private Servers from well-known hosting companies like DigitalOcean and HOSTGLOBAL.PLUS to run a lot of automated scans while hiding where they were really located. Researchers say the data shows that cybercriminals don't just look for new zero-days; they also use known exploits a lot. The honeypot, which was set up to look like an Oracle Web Logic Server (version 14.1.0.0), was used for 12 days.

It quickly drew a lot of bad traffic and was too much for automated tools like libredtail-http and the Nmap Scripting Engine to handle.

The main goal was to take advantage of a new flaw in ProxyServlet HTTP GET requests, but attackers also thoroughly tested the server for older bugs that had already been fixed. It shows how dangerous it is for companies to have unpatched versions of Oracle Weblogic Server and how important it is to quickly apply Oracle Critical Patch Updates (CPUs) for the WLS-WSAT component, with CVE-2020-14883 fixes being the most important. If you leave a WebLogi server unpatched and open, you are sure to put your whole system at risk.
