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 Oracle Primavera P6 installationLocate the Primavera P6 installation directory or check installed programs on the server. Look for P6 or Primavera in the program name.Affected if Oracle Primavera P6 Enterprise Project Portfolio Management is installed
-
Identify installed P6 versionCheck the version of the installed Primavera P6 software. This is typically found in the application itself (Help > About) or in installation files/version.txt in the program directory.Affected if Version is 7.0, 8.1, or 8.2 exactly as listed in affected versions
-
Verify Web Access component is enabledCheck if the P6 Web Access (web-based interface) is deployed and accessible. This is typically hosted in a web container (Tomcat, WebLogic) under a path like /p6 or /p6webaccess. Try accessing the web URL or check web server configuration files.Affected if Web Access interface is deployed and reachable over the network
-
Confirm network accessibility of Web AccessDetermine if the Web Access URL is exposed to network access beyond localhost. Check firewall rules, load balancer configurations, or web server bindings that allow external access to the P6 web application.Affected if Web Access is reachable from network addresses other than localhost or trusted internal hosts
-
Check for existing authenticationReview whether the Web Access component requires authentication. Verify user accounts exist and the application enforces login for access.Affected if Web Access accepts authenticated user sessions (the vulnerability requires remote authenticated access)
If Oracle Primavera P6 versions 7.0, 8.1, or 8.2 are installed with Web Access enabled and network-accessible, the environment is potentially affected by this vulnerability.

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 the relevant Oracle Critical Patch Update for 2013 to the affected Primavera P6 installations. Prior to patching, restrict network access to the Web Access interface to trusted users only and review user account privileges.
