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.
-
Identify PeopleSoft version and bundle levelAccess PeopleSoft Application Designer or the PeopleTools System Overview page to view the current installation version and bundle information. Look for the exact version string (e.g., 8.9, 9.0, 9.1) and associated bundle numbers.Affected if The installed version is 8.9 with Bundle #38 or lower, 9.0 with Bundle #31 or lower, or 9.1 with Bundle #6 or lower.
-
Confirm Strategic Sourcing component is installedCheck the PeopleSoft Component Registry or navigate to the Enterprise SCM menu to verify the Strategic Sourcing module is present in the deployment.Affected if The Strategic Sourcing component is installed and accessible in the environment.
-
Verify module accessibilityAttempt to access the Strategic Sourcing module URL (typically under /psc/.../SCM/STRAT_SRC) or check the web profile configuration to see if the module is exposed to authenticated users.Affected if The Strategic Sourcing module is accessible to authenticated users over the network.
-
Review user access controlsCheck the permission lists and roles assigned to users who can access the Strategic Sourcing component. Look for any users with elevated privileges or unusual role assignments in the Security Configuration.Affected if Users have broader access permissions than intended, or the module permits unauthorized data access.
You are affected if your PeopleSoft deployment runs version 8.9 Bundle 38 or lower, 9.0 Bundle 31 or lower, or 9.1 Bundle 6 or lower AND the Strategic Sourcing module is enabled and accessible to authenticated users.
