Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
SQL injection vulnerability in okxLOV.jsp in Oracle E-Business Suite 11 and 12 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via unknown vectors. NOTE: this is probably the same issue as CVE-2007-5527 or CVE-2007-5528, but there are insufficient details to be sure.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

SQL injection vulnerability in okxLOV.jsp within Oracle E-Business Suite versions 11 and 12 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands by injecting malicious SQL statements through unknown vectors in the JSP page.

MitigationApply Oracle's relevant security patches for E-Business Suite; until patches are available, restrict network access to affected E-Business Suite endpoints and implement web application firewall rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm Oracle E-Business Suite installation
    Check the application version by querying the Oracle database or checking the installation directory for E-Business Suite 11i or 12 release files. Use 'adident Header' or check the 'AD_PRODUCT_GROUPS' table for version information.
    Affected if The environment runs Oracle E-Business Suite version 11i or 12.
  2. Locate the okxLOV.jsp file
    Search the application web root directories for the presence of okxLOV.jsp. Common paths include $IAS_ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/htdocs or the web tier document root under 'oa_html' or 'OA_JAVA' directories.
    Affected if The okxLOV.jsp file exists in the deployed application.
  3. Verify web accessibility of the vulnerable JSP
    Test if okxLOV.jsp is accessible via HTTP/HTTPS by attempting to access it through the web server. Check the web tier configuration and URL patterns to confirm the JSP is publicly or internally reachable.
    Affected if The okxLOV.jsp endpoint is accessible over the network without authentication barriers.
  4. Review request logging for suspicious parameters
    Examine web server access logs (Apache, Oracle HTTP Server) for requests to okxLOV.jsp containing SQL syntax in query parameters, such as single quotes, UNION SELECT, or common SQL injection patterns.
    Affected if Logs show requests to okxLOV.jsp with SQL metacharacters in parameters.

A system is affected if it runs Oracle E-Business Suite 11i or 12 with the okxLOV.jsp file deployed and accessible, as this JSP does not sanitize user input before using it in SQL queries.
