✅ What You Should Do
Prioritize based on severity: Target critical and high-severity, remote exploit issues—especially in RESTDS, Communications, Hospitality, Database, and Middleware.
Review network-facing deployments: Ensure all exposed Oracle systems are patched—remote exploits can lead to full server compromise.
Staged patching: Test patches in staging before rolling out to production.
Update third-party libraries: Many patches are in embedded open-source components—keep dependencies current.
Monitor aggressively: Enable logging and EDR to detect suspicious activity pre- and post-patch.
Implement continuous patch strategy: Quarterly updates aren’t enough. Plan for more dynamic patch windows, especially for critical infra.
🧾 Final Takeaway
Oracle’s July 15 CPU is one of its largest to date—309 patches, 165 CVEs, and dozens of remote-exploitable vulnerabilities. If you’re running any Oracle services, especially those exposed to the internet, apply patches immediately to stay ahead of active threats.
