The vulnerability impacts Oracle WebLogic Server versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.1.0.0, among the most widely used middleware solutions for deploying enterprise applications.
The exploitation is possible through T3 and IIOP (Internet Inter-ORB Protocol), which are commonly enabled by default for remote communication.
Cybersecurity advisors have highlighted that this vulnerability is classified as “easily exploitable.”
An attacker can leverage it without requiring credentials or sophisticated technical expertise, broadening the scope of potential misuse.
According to the advisory, successful exploitation could lead to arbitrary code execution, granting attackers full control over the compromised server.
Concerns surrounding CVE-2024-21182 grew rapidly after an exploit was shared on GitHub by a user named “k4it0k1d.”
The repository includes a ready-to-use PoC that lowers the barrier for potential attackers. Cybersecurity updates posted on social media platforms, such as X (formerly Twitter), have also drawn attention to the vulnerability.
A post shared by Cyber Advising includes a link to the exploit and warns of its accessibility.
With the exploit now public, proactive defense measures are critical to protecting sensitive systems and data.
