CVE-2013-3763
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 Oracle Endeca Server component in Oracle Fusion Middleware 7.4.0 and 7.5.1.1 allows remote authenticated users to affect confidentiality and integrity via unknown vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2013-3764.
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 if Oracle Endeca Server is installedLook for Endeca Server processes running (check process list for 'endeca' or 'aserver'), or search for Endeca installation directories in typical Oracle Middleware paths such as $ORACLE_HOME/Oracle_ECM1/Oracle Endeca Server, or check for Endeca-related services on the system.Affected if Oracle Endeca Server software is present on the system.
-
Determine the installed Endeca Server versionCheck the version file or version information within the Endeca installation directory. Common locations include version.txt, about.html, or the Endeca Server control script that displays version information when executed with a version flag.Affected if The installed version matches exactly 7.4.0 or 7.5.1.1.
-
Verify Endeca Server network accessibilityCheck network configuration files or the Endeca Server configuration for listener settings that expose the server to network connections. Look for port configurations (typically 7770-7778 for Endeca Server) in server configuration files or running netstat commands to confirm open ports.Affected if Endeca Server is bound to a network-accessible IP address and listening on exposed ports.
-
Confirm user authentication is enabledReview Endeca Server security configuration to verify that user accounts are configured for remote access. Check for user repository settings, authentication realm configuration, or user group definitions in Endeca security XML or configuration files.Affected if Remote user authentication is configured and enabled for the Endeca Server.
The environment is affected if Oracle Endeca Server version 7.4.0 or 7.5.1.1 is installed and configured with network accessibility and authenticated user access.

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 Oracle Fusion Middleware that addresses CVE-2013-3763. If patching is not immediately feasible, restrict network access to Endeca Server to authenticated, authorized personnel only.
