How to fix it
Apply the Oracle Critical Patch Update that fixes CVE-2024-21182 and reduce WebLogic administrative and protocol exposure. Internet-facing WebLogic deployments should be reviewed for unauthorized deployments, changed domain configuration, and suspicious authentication events.
- Inventory every WebLogic domain, managed server, admin server, cluster, and Oracle Fusion Middleware dependency.
- Apply the relevant Oracle Critical Patch Update or move to a fixed supported WebLogic Server release.
- Restrict the WebLogic Admin Console and Node Manager to trusted administrative networks only.
- Block T3, T3S, IIOP, and administrative protocols from untrusted networks unless explicitly required and protected.
- Review deployed applications, startup classes, JDBC data sources, security realms, and domain configuration for unauthorized changes.
- Rotate WebLogic administrator, datasource, LDAP, and integration credentials if suspicious access is found.
