CVE-2022-21510


Vulnerability in the Oracle Database - Enterprise Edition Sharding component of Oracle Database Server. For supported versions that are affected see note. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker having Local Logon privilege with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle Database - Enterprise Edition Sharding executes to compromise Oracle Database - Enterprise Edition Sharding. While the vulnerability is in Oracle Database - Enterprise Edition Sharding, attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle Database - Enterprise Edition Sharding. Note: None of the supported versions are affected. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 8.8 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H).


Security Impact Summary

This vulnerability carries a HIGH severity rating with a CVSS v3.1 score of 8.8, requiring local system access to exploit with relatively low complexity without requiring user interaction requiring only low-level privileges . The vulnerability impacts confidentiality (data exposure), integrity (unauthorized modifications), and availability (service disruption) for affected systems. Impacting 1 product from oracle organizations running these solutions should prioritize assessment and patching.

Historical Context

Reported in 2022, this vulnerability emerged during an era marked by increased sophistication in supply chain attacks, cloud infrastructure vulnerabilities, and software-as-a-service (SaaS) security challenges.

How SecUtils Interprets This CVE

SecUtils normalizes and enriches National Vulnerability Database (NVD) records by standardizing vendor and product identifiers, aggregating vulnerability metadata from both NVD and MITRE sources, and providing structured context for security teams. For oracle's affected products, we extract Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) data, Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) classifications, CVSS severity metrics, and reference data to enable rapid vulnerability prioritization and asset correlation. This record contains no exploit code, proof-of-concept instructions, or attack methodologies—only defensive intelligence necessary for patch management, risk assessment, and security operations.
