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 Siebel CRM versionLocate the Siebel installation directory and check version information in the Siebel application configuration files, or access the Siebel Administration screen and navigate to the About section to view the exact version numberAffected if The installed version is exactly 8.1.1 or exactly 8.2.2
-
Confirm Open_UI component is deployedAccess the Siebel Application Object Manager (AOM) configuration or Siebel Gateway registry to verify whether the Open_UI component is installed and active for the Siebel applicationAffected if The Open_UI component (Open_UI.AOM or similar Siebel Object Manager for Open_UI) is present and running in the environment
-
Determine Open_UI network exposureReview Siebel web server configuration and network firewall rules to identify whether the Open_UI interface is accessible from external or untrusted networks, typically on ports used by the Siebel Web Server (such as HTTP/HTTPS ports 80/443)Affected if The Open_UI interface is exposed to network segments that are not trusted or are accessible from the internet
A user is affected if they have Siebel CRM version 8.1.1 or 8.2.2 running with the Open_UI component enabled and exposed, regardless of network accessibility level.
