Seriously? Oracle *Again*?!

Oh, joy. Another fucking security hole in Oracle software. This time it’s CVE-2025-61882, a critical vulnerability in… wait for it… WebLogic Server. Surprise, surprise. Apparently, some script kiddies – specifically the Cl0p ransomware gang – were already using this to steal data. Like they needed *another* way to make money off of companies too lazy to patch properly.

The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to access sensitive information because Oracle didn’t bother securing something properly in the first place. They’re scrambling now, releasing a patch like their asses are on fire (which they should be). Affected versions range from 12.1.3.0.0 to 14.1.1.0.0. If you’re running any of those? PATCH IT NOW. Don’t wait for someone to tell you twice, or better yet, don’t use Oracle at all.

The article says they haven’t disclosed *exactly* what data was stolen, because that would be bad PR, obviously. But rest assured, if you’re an Oracle customer, assume you’ve been compromised and start cleaning up the mess. And for fuck’s sake, enable multi-factor authentication – it might actually help, unlike relying on Oracle to write secure code.

Honestly, I’m starting to think Oracle intentionally leaves these holes open just to keep their “security consulting” division busy. It’s a racket, plain and simple.

Related Anecdote (Because I Feel Like Being Miserable)

I once had to deal with a company that ran an unpatched Oracle database for *five years*. Five years! They said they were “waiting for the right maintenance window.” Meanwhile, their entire customer database was wide open. I swear, if I could have rolled back time, I would’ve personally deleted every single line of code in their system just to teach them a lesson. They eventually got hit with a breach, naturally. Serves ’em right.
