CVE-2020-2551Oracle WebLogic — takeover over the object request port

Core components of Oracle WebLogic Server let an attacker with no credentials reach in over the object request protocol and take the server over outright. Versions 10.3.6.0.0 through 12.2.1.4.0 are affected and exploitation is easy.

YOUR NEXT MOVE

Apply Oracle's January 2020 critical patch update, and close the object request protocol port wherever it is not needed — it has no business facing the internet.
