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 Depot Repair product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: Estimate and Actual Charges). Supported versions that are affected are 12.1.1-12.1.3. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Depot Repair. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and while the vulnerability is in Oracle Depot Repair, attacks may significantly impact additional products. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle Depot Repair accessible data as well as unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle Depot Repair accessible data. CVSS 3.0 Base Score 8.2 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:L/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

Vulnerability in Oracle Depot Repair's Estimate and Actual Charges component allows unauthenticated remote attackers to exploit via HTTP. The attack requires human interaction (social engineering/tricking a user) and can lead to unauthorized access to critical data (high confidentiality impact) and unauthorized modification of some data (low integrity impact). The scope change indicates the attack may impact additional products beyond Depot Repair.

MitigationApply Oracle Critical Patch Update for January 2020 (or subsequent relevant patches) addressing CVE-2020-2845. Until patched, restrict network access to Oracle E-Business Suite interfaces and monitor for suspicious requests to Estimate and Actual Charges endpoints.

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 Oracle Depot Repair is installed
    Check if Oracle E-Business Suite with Depot Repair module is present in your environment. This is typically part of Oracle E-Business Suite installations.
    Affected if Depot Repair module exists in the Oracle E-Business Suite installation
  2. Identify the Depot Repair version
    Query the Oracle application version registry or check the Oracle E-Business Suite version information for the Depot Repair component. Compare the installed version against the affected range of 12.1.1 through 12.1.3.
    Affected if The installed version falls within >= 12.1.1 and <= 12.1.3
  3. Verify Estimate and Actual Charges component is accessible
    Check if the Estimate and Actual Charges feature within Depot Repair is enabled and accessible via HTTP endpoints. Review the component configuration in Oracle Depot Repair admin settings.
    Affected if Estimate and Actual Charges component is enabled and exposed via HTTP
  4. Check network exposure of EBS HTTP interfaces
    Determine if Oracle E-Business Suite HTTP interfaces are exposed to untrusted networks. Review firewall rules and network ACLs controlling access to Oracle EBS ports.
    Affected if HTTP interfaces are accessible from untrusted or external networks without proper restrictions
  5. Review access logs for suspicious requests
    Examine HTTP access logs for unusual or unauthorized requests targeting Estimate and Actual Charges endpoints. Look for patterns indicating reconnaissance or exploitation attempts.
    Affected if Suspicious requests to Estimate and Actual Charges endpoints are found in logs

The environment is affected if Oracle Depot Repair version 12.1.1 through 12.1.3 is installed with the Estimate and Actual Charges component enabled and accessible via HTTP.
