CVE-2008-2582
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 · uneditedUnspecified vulnerability in the WebLogic Server component in Oracle BEA Product Suite 10.0 MP1, 9.2 MP3, 9.1, 9.0, 8.1 SP6, and 7.0 SP7 has unknown impact and remote attack vectors.
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 · low confidenceUnspecified vulnerability in Oracle BEA WebLogic Server affecting versions 7.0 SP7 through 10.0 MP1. The vulnerability has remote attack vectors but the exact nature (injection, auth bypass, etc.) and impact are not disclosed in available sources. CVSS 5 indicates partial rather than complete impact to confidentiality, integrity, or availability.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm WebLogic Server installationLocate WebLogic Server installation directory. Common paths include: /Oracle/Middleware/wlserver_10.3, /bea/wlserver_10.0, or C:\bea\wlserver_10.0 on Windows. Check for existence of WebLogic installation directories or check for process named 'java' running WebLogic classes.Affected if WebLogic Server is installed and running on the system
-
Identify installed WebLogic versionCheck the WebLogic version file typically located at BEA_HOME/wlserver_10.0/.productVersion or check the registry entry on Windows. Alternatively, run: java -jar BEA_HOME/wlserver_10.0/server/lib/weblogic.jar -help 2>&1 | grep version, or examine the manifest in BEA_HOME/wlserver_10.0/server/lib/weblogic.jarAffected if Installed version is 7.0, 8.1, 9.0, 9.1, 9.2, or 10.0, or falls within the 7.0 SP7 through 10.0 MP1 range mentioned in the CVE
-
Verify network exposureReview firewall rules and network configuration to determine if WebLogic administrative ports (default 7001 for console, 7002 for SSL) are accessible from untrusted networks. Check netstat output for listening ports: netstat -an | grep -E '7001|7002'Affected if WebLogic administrative or application ports are directly exposed to untrusted or public networks without VPN or firewall filtering
A system is affected if WebLogic Server versions 7.0 through 10.0 (including SP7 through MP1 variants) are installed and the server is network-accessible to potential attackers.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataApply Oracle Critical Patch Updates for WebLogic Server to obtain fixed versions; if unsupported, consider upgrading to a supported WebLogic Server version or implementing network segmentation to limit exposure to untrusted networks.
