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. Confirm PeopleSoft Enterprise Cost Center Common Application Objects is installed
    Locate the PeopleSoft installation directory and identify if the Cost Center Common Application Objects component is present. This is typically found within the PS_HOME structure under the applications directory.
    Affected if The Cost Center Common Application Objects component exists in the installation
  2. Verify the installed PeopleSoft version
    Access the PeopleSoft Administration homepage or use the version lookup utility (typically via 'About PeopleSoft' in the system browser) to determine the exact version number of the PeopleSoft Enterprise installation.
    Affected if The version is 9.1 or 9.2
  3. Confirm HTTP listeners are enabled
    Check the PeopleSoft Integration Broker or web profile configuration to determine if HTTP listeners are active. This can be inspected via the PeopleSoft Administration pages under 'Web Profile' configuration or by reviewing the web server configuration files.
    Affected if HTTP listeners are enabled and accessible over the network
  4. Verify Approval Framework component is accessible
    Check the PeopleSoft component registry or navigation structure to determine if the Approval Framework component (under Common Application Objects) is present and configured. This is typically accessible through the PeopleSoft Application Designer or via the component navigation paths.
    Affected if Approval Framework component is present and configured in the installation

The environment is affected if Oracle Peoplesoft Enterprise Cost Center Common Application Objects version 9.1 or 9.2 is installed with HTTP access enabled and the Approval Framework component is accessible.
