CVE-2010-4424
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 PeopleSoft Enterprise PeopleTools component in Oracle PeopleSoft and JDEdwards Suite 8.49.0 through 8.49.29, 8.50.0 through 8.50.14, and 8.51.0 through 8.51.04 allows remote attackers to affect availability via unknown vectors related to the Security sub-component.
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.

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 PeopleTools versionAccess the PeopleSoft Enterprise Manager or use the psadmin utility to determine the PeopleTools version installed in your environment. Look for the version information in the PeopleSoft Application Designer or via the version command in the psadmin tool.Affected if The installed version is 8.49.0 through 8.49.29, 8.50.0 through 8.50.14, or 8.51.0 through 8.51.04.
-
Verify PeopleTools releaseQuery the PSVERSION table in the PeopleSoft database or check the PeopleTools installation directory for the release file that indicates the exact build number.Affected if The build number falls within the affected version ranges.
-
Confirm Security component exposureReview the PeopleSoft Security configuration to determine if remote unauthenticated access to Security-related pages or servlets is possible. Check if the Security sub-component is accessible over the network.Affected if The Security component is exposed to network access without proper hardening.
-
Check for unauthorized access pathsInspect web.xml and configuration files in the PeopleSoft web application to identify accessible Security-related endpoints that could accept remote requests.Affected if Unprotected Security sub-component endpoints are accessible remotely.
You are affected if your PeopleSoft Enterprise PeopleTools version falls within 8.49.0-8.49.29, 8.50.0-8.50.14, or 8.51.0-8.51.04 and the Security component is exposed to network access.
