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.
-
Confirm Oracle FLEXCUBE Direct Banking installationSearch the system for Oracle FLEXCUBE Direct Banking components or check application inventory/asset management records for this productAffected if Oracle FLEXCUBE Direct Banking is not present on the system, then the CVE does not apply
-
Identify installed version of Oracle FLEXCUBE Direct BankingCheck the product version through the application's about page, version file, or administrative console. Look for a version label showing exactly 12.0.2 or 12.0.3Affected if The installed version is 12.0.2 or 12.0.3, indicating the affected version is present
-
Verify Login sub-component is deployedLocate the Login module or endpoint within the Oracle FLEXCUBE Direct Banking installation directory structure or check the web application deployment for a login-related componentAffected if The Login sub-component is present and deployed in the environment
-
Check network exposure of Login functionalityDetermine if the Login endpoint is accessible over the network by reviewing firewall rules, load balancer configurations, or by attempting to reach the Login URL from an external interfaceAffected if The Login component is exposed to network access without authentication requirements, making it exploitable remotely
If Oracle FLEXCUBE Direct Banking versions 12.0.2 or 12.0.3 are installed AND the Login sub-component is deployed and network-accessible, the environment is affected by this CVE.
