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 if Oracle CRM Technical Foundation is installed
    Check for Oracle E-Business Suite installation and confirm the CRM Technical Foundation component is present. This is typically part of Oracle E-Business Suite deployments.
    Affected if The product is Oracle Customer Relationship Management Technical Foundation
  2. Determine the installed version
    Query the Oracle application version using standard Oracle diagnostic tools or check the About Oracle CRM Technical Foundation information page within the Oracle E-Business Suite.
    Affected if The version falls within >= 12.2.3 and <= 12.2.10
  3. Confirm the Preferences component is accessible via HTTP
    Verify that the Preferences functionality within Oracle CRM Technical Foundation is enabled and accessible through HTTP requests. This typically involves checking the Oracle E-Business Suite web interfaces.
    Affected if The Preferences component is exposed via HTTP and the version is in the affected range
  4. Check network exposure of administration interfaces
    Review network configuration to determine if Oracle E-Business Suite administration and web interfaces are accessible from network segments accessible to untrusted users.
    Affected if The HTTP interfaces are network-accessible beyond trusted administrative networks and the version is affected

The environment is affected if Oracle CRM Technical Foundation version 12.2.3 through 12.2.10 is installed with the Preferences component accessible over HTTP.
