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
Vulnerability in the Oracle Hospitality OPERA 5 Property Services component of Oracle Hospitality Applications (subcomponent: OPERA Printing and Login). Supported versions that are affected are 5.4.0.x, 5.4.1.x, 5.4.2.x, 5.4.3.x, 5.5.0.x and 5.5.1.x. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle Hospitality OPERA 5 Property Services executes to compromise Oracle Hospitality OPERA 5 Property Services. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or all Oracle Hospitality OPERA 5 Property Services accessible data as well as unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle Hospitality OPERA 5 Property Services accessible data and unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of Oracle Hospitality OPERA 5 Property Services. CVSS 3.0 Base Score 6.5 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:L).

dbcve analysis · high confidence

Vulnerability in Oracle Hospitality OPERA 5 Property Services (subcomponent: OPERA Printing and Login) affecting versions 5.4.0.x through 5.5.1.x. A local attacker with logon access to the infrastructure can exploit this difficult-to-exploit flaw, which requires human interaction from a person other than the attacker, to achieve unauthorized creation, deletion or modification of critical data, unauthorized access to critical or all accessible data, and partial denial of service.

MitigationRestrict physical and local access to servers running OPERA Property Services; apply Oracle's patch when available; implement additional authentication controls for the Printing and Login subcomponent; enforce strict access controls and monitoring on the infrastructure.

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 OPERA Property Services version
    Query the Oracle OPERA application or check the installed software version through the OPERA administration console, property management system, or installation logs. Look for the exact version number in the format 5.4.0.x, 5.4.1.x, 5.4.2.x, 5.4.3.x, 5.5.0.x, or 5.5.1.x.
    Affected if The installed version is any release between 5.4.0 and 5.5.1 inclusive.
  2. Verify Printing subcomponent status
    Access the OPERA system configuration or administration interface and check whether the OPERA Printing service module is enabled and running. This may be visible in the services control panel, OPERA system manager, or printing configuration settings.
    Affected if The OPERA Printing service is enabled and active on the system.
  3. Verify Login subcomponent status
    Examine the OPERA application configuration for the Login module. Check if the login authentication component for Property Services is operational and accessible, typically found in OPERA system settings or security configuration panels.
    Affected if The OPERA Login subcomponent for Property Services is configured and accessible.
  4. Assess local access exposure
    Review physical security controls and local access policies for the server hosting OPERA Property Services. Determine if unauthorized local users could obtain logon access to the infrastructure.
    Affected if The OPERA server is accessible to users without proper background screening or if local access controls are weak or absent.

A system is affected if it runs any Oracle Hospitality OPERA 5 Property Services version between 5.4.0 and 5.5.1 and has the Printing and Login subcomponents enabled with any level of local access exposure.
