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 Applications Manager product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: SQL Extensions). Supported versions that are affected are 12.1.3 and 12.2.3 - 12.2.10. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Applications Manager. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle Applications Manager accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 5.3 (Confidentiality impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N).

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 · high confidence

SQL injection vulnerability in Oracle Applications Manager's SQL Extensions component. Allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL queries via HTTP, resulting in unauthorized read access to sensitive data.

MitigationApply Oracle Critical Patch Update (CPU) October 2020 or later. If immediate patching is not feasible, restrict network access to Oracle Applications Manager interfaces using network segmentation or Web Application Firewall.

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 Applications Manager is installed
    Locate Oracle E-Business Suite installation directories and check for Applications Manager component presence. Common paths include $ORACLE_HOME/apps/ and look for AOL (Application Object Library) components.
    Affected if Oracle Applications Manager software is present on the system
  2. Check installed Applications Manager version
    Query the Oracle database for the version using: SELECT release_name FROM apps.fnd_product_groups; OR check the Oracle E-Business Suite maintenance guide for version lookup commands.
    Affected if Version matches 12.1.3 or falls within 12.2.3 through 12.2.10
  3. Verify SQL Extensions component is configured
    Check if the SQL Extensions feature in Oracle Applications Manager is enabled. This is typically found in the Applications Manager console under the SQL Extensions section or by querying the component status in the E-Business Suite.
    Affected if SQL Extensions component is enabled and accessible in Applications Manager
  4. Confirm HTTP interface exposure
    Review network listener configuration (lsnrctl) and Oracle HTTP Server settings to determine if the Applications Manager OAM (Oracle Applications Manager) servlets are exposed over HTTP/HTTPS.
    Affected if OAM servlets are reachable via unauthenticated HTTP connections
  5. Check for unauthorized SQL injection artifacts
    Review Oracle listener logs and database audit trails for suspicious SQL queries or unusual patterns originating from Applications Manager endpoints.
    Affected if Unexpected or unauthorized SQL statements appear in logs or audit records

You are affected if Oracle Applications Manager is installed and the version is 12.1.3 or between 12.2.3 and 12.2.10, with the SQL Extensions component enabled and accessible via HTTP.
