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 Hyperion versionLocate the Hyperion installation directory and check the version file or use the Hyperion Administration Console to view version information. Common locations include the Installation directory or registry entries for Windows installations.Affected if The installed version is exactly 11.1.2.2 or exactly 11.1.2.3
-
Verify Common Admin component is accessibleConfirm the Oracle Hyperion Common Admin (HCA) user interface is deployed and accessible. Check if the web application for Common Admin is running and reachable via browser or API.Affected if The Common Admin UI component is deployed and exposed for remote access
-
Confirm remote authentication is enabledReview Hyperion security configuration settings to determine if remote authenticated user access is permitted to the Common Admin interface. Check authentication providers and access control settings.Affected if Remote authenticated users can access the Common Admin UI component
-
Check for April 2014 Oracle Critical Patch UpdateReview installed patches on the Hyperion system. Query the Oracle opatch utility or examine patch inventory to determine if the April 2014 CPU addressing CVE-2014-2455 has been applied.Affected if The April 2014 Critical Patch Update has NOT been applied to the system
A system is affected if it runs exactly version 11.1.2.2 or exactly 11.1.2.3 with the Common Admin UI accessible to remote authenticated users and lacks the April 2014 Oracle security patch.

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 Oracle Critical Patch Update (April 2014) or upgrade to a patched Hyperion version beyond 11.1.2.3. Verify UI functionality post-patch.
