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 · unedited
Unspecified vulnerability in the Oracle E-Business Intelligence component in Oracle E-Business Suite 11.5.10.2, 12.1.1, 12.1.2, and 12.1.3 allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality via unknown vectors related to Embedded Data Warehouse.

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 confidence

Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle E-Business Intelligence's Embedded Data Warehouse component allows remote attackers to impact confidentiality. The attack vector is network-based and unauthenticated, but specific exploitation details are not publicly disclosed. CVSS 5 indicates medium severity with confidentiality-only impact.

MitigationApply Oracle Critical Patch Updates (CPU) for E-Business Suite versions 11.5.10.2 through 12.1.3. If patching is delayed, restrict network access to E-Business Suite servers and disable unnecessary E-Business Intelligence interfaces.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify Oracle E-Business Suite installation
    Check for Oracle Applications environment by examining the $APPL_TOP directory or running 'adident Header $APPL_TOP/README.txt' if available. Also look for Oracle Applications context files in $CONTEXT_FILE or standard installation paths.
    Affected if Oracle E-Business Suite is not installed - the CVE only applies to this product
  2. Determine E-Business Intelligence version
    Query the Oracle Applications version tables such as FND_PRODUCT_GROUPS or check the $INST_TOP/appl/admin/$(hostname).xml context file for the 's_ebs_version' or 's_eias_version' parameter representing E-Business Intelligence version.
    Affected if Version matches 11.5.10.2, 12.1.1, 12.1.2, or 12.1.3 exactly
  3. Verify Embedded Data Warehouse component
    Check if the Embedded Data Warehouse (EDW) component is installed by querying FND_PRODUCT_INSTALLATIONS table for product 'EDW' or examining the Oracle Applications Manager (OAM) component list for 'Oracle E-Business Intelligence Embedded Data Warehouse'.
    Affected if The Embedded Data Warehouse component is present and enabled in the E-Business Intelligence installation
  4. Confirm network exposure of E-Business Intelligence
    Review network listener configuration in $TNS_ADMIN/listener.ora and check if the Oracle E-Business Intelligence ports (typically 8000-8090 for OAAM, or check application-specific ports) are exposed to untrusted networks. Use 'netstat -an | grep -E "(8000|8080|8090)"' or review firewall rules.
    Affected if E-Business Intelligence interfaces are network-accessible from untrusted networks - the attack vector is network-based and unauthenticated

A user is affected if they have Oracle E-Business Intelligence version 11.5.10.2, 12.1.1, 12.1.2, or 12.1.3 with the Embedded Data Warehouse component installed and the interface exposed to the network.
