CVE-2013-3827
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 GlassFish Server component in Oracle Fusion Middleware 2.1.1, 3.0.1, and 3.1.2; the Oracle JDeveloper component in Oracle Fusion Middleware 11.1.2.3.0, 11.1.2.4.0, and 12.1.2.0.0; and the Oracle WebLogic Server component in Oracle Fusion Middleware 10.3.6.0 and 12.1.1 allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality via unknown vectors related to Java Server Faces or Web Container.
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 · moderate confidenceUnspecified vulnerability in Oracle Fusion Middleware's Java Server Faces and Web Container components allows remote attackers to compromise confidentiality. The vulnerability affects GlassFish Server (2.1.1, 3.0.1, 3.1.2), JDeveloper (11.1.2.x, 12.1.2.x), and WebLogic Server (10.3.6.0, 12.1.1).

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 installed Oracle productDetermine whether GlassFish Server, Oracle JDeveloper, or WebLogic Server is installed in your environment by checking common installation directories or running product-specific version commandsAffected if The product is one of GlassFish, JDeveloper, or WebLogic Server
-
Check product versionRun the product's version command or inspect version files: for GlassFish use asadmin version or check version.txt in the installation directory; for WebLogic check the registry or config.xml; for JDeveloper check the About dialog or installation manifestAffected if The installed version matches any of these: GlassFish 2.1.1, 3.0.1, or 3.1.2; JDeveloper 11.1.2.x or 12.1.2.x; WebLogic Server 10.3.6.0 or 12.1.1
-
Confirm Java Server Faces is in useCheck if JSF libraries are deployed or the JSF servlet is configured in web.xml or faces-config.xml files within your application deploymentsAffected if JSF is actively configured or deployed as part of your application
-
Verify Web Container is accessibleConfirm the web container component is enabled and accessible by testing HTTP/HTTPS endpoints served by the affected productAffected if The web container is reachable and processing requests
You are affected if you have GlassFish 2.1.1/3.0.1/3.1.2, JDeveloper 11.1.2.x/12.1.2.x, or WebLogic 10.3.6.0/12.1.1 running with JSF or the web container component enabled.
