No fixed release is recorded for CVE-2019-2725 yet. Track the upstream advisory, and apply the exposure-reduction steps below in the meantime.

How do I detect CVE-2019-2725 in my code and dependencies?

Identify every host running the affected component and compare the installed build against the fixed version below — for source-built or distro-packaged software the version string, not a lockfile, is the source of truth (`dpkg -l`, `rpm -q`, or the binary's own `--version`).

How do I mitigate CVE-2019-2725 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

Is CVE-2019-2725 actively exploited in the wild?

Yes. There are 32 known exploit references for CVE-2019-2725, including 2 documented proof-of-concept exploits on Exploit-DB and 19 in-the-wild exploitations observed on GitHub and other sources. Treat this as actively exploitable and prioritize patching immediately. All exploit code should only be run in an isolated sandbox environment for research or authorized testing — never against production systems without explicit written authorization.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2019-2725?

CVE-2019-2725 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 100.0%, placing it in the 100th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. A score above 50% indicates significantly elevated exploitation risk — immediate patching is strongly recommended.

Is CVE-2019-2725 in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog?

Yes. CVE-2019-2725 (Oracle WebLogic Server, Injection) was added to CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog on 2022-01-10. CISA required all US federal civilian agencies to remediate this vulnerability by 2022-07-10. The required action was: Apply updates per vendor instructions. This CVE has been used in known ransomware campaigns. Being listed in the KEV catalog is the strongest possible confirmation of active exploitation — treat this as a critical priority.

What type of vulnerability is CVE-2019-2725?

CVE-2019-2725 is classified as CWE-74 (CWE-74). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

Is there exploit tooling available for CVE-2019-2725?

A Nuclei detection template exists for CVE-2019-2725, meaning automated scanners can fingerprint it. 2 Metasploit modules reference CVE-2019-2725, which lowers the barrier to weaponization. Public exploit tooling significantly increases real-world risk — prioritize patching and ensure detection coverage. Exploit tooling should only ever be used in isolated, authorized testing environments.

When was CVE-2019-2725 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2019-2725 was published on April 26, 2019 and was last updated on October 1, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Exploitation Status

Actively exploited in the wild

Confirmed by CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2022-01-10 — including use in ransomware campaigns. Federal agencies were required to remediate by 2022-07-10.
CISA assesses this as automatable — exploitation doesn’t require manual, per-target effort, which raises the odds of mass scanning and opportunistic attacks.
A successful exploit gives an attacker total control of the affected component, not partial access.
