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 PeopleTools versionAccess PeopleSoft Enterprise Navigator > About This Page, or query the PSVERSION table in the database for the current PeopleTools version installedAffected if The version shown is exactly 8.52 or 8.53
-
Confirm PeopleTools version via command lineRun the following SQL query against the PeopleSoft database: SELECT version FROM psversion WHERE objid = 'PTools'Affected if The returned version value starts with 8.52 or 8.53
-
Verify Integration Broker is enabledNavigate to PeopleTools > Integration Broker > Integration Setup > Service and verify the Integration Broker status shows as Active, or check if IB nodes are configuredAffected if Integration Broker is active and IB nodes exist in the environment
-
