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).

dbcve analysis · high confidence

CVE-2020-2846 is an HTTP-based vulnerability in the Estimate and Actual Charges component of Oracle Depot Repair (E-Business Suite 12.1.1-12.1.3). The flaw allows unauthenticated remote attackers to exploit via HTTP, achieving high confidentiality and low integrity impact. The required human interaction (UI:R) combined with scope change (S:C) indicates attacks may involve social engineering to compromise the component and potentially affect additional Oracle products.

MitigationApply the relevant Oracle Critical Patch Update (CPU) for January 2020 or later, which includes the security fix for this vulnerability in Oracle E-Business Suite.

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 Oracle E-Business Suite installation
    Locate Oracle E-Business Suite installation directories and identify the Depot Repair module. Common paths include $ORACLE_HOME/apps/ and look for depot repair related configurations.
    Affected if Oracle E-Business Suite with Depot Repair component is present
  2. Verify Depot Repair version
    Check the version of Oracle Depot Repair or the overall E-Business Suite installation. Use Oracle application version utilities or check the installed packages/patches. Compare against the affected range: 12.1.1 through 12.1.3.
    Affected if Installed version falls within 12.1.1 to 12.1.3 inclusive
  3. Confirm Estimate and Actual Charges component is accessible
    Determine if the Estimate and Actual Charges web module is enabled and accessible via HTTP. This typically involves checking the Apache/OHS configuration files and the Oracle Applications Manager console for module status.
    Affected if The Estimate and Actual Charges component is deployed and HTTP-accessible
  4. Review HTTP access logs for suspicious Depot Repair requests
    Examine web server access logs (Apache, Oracle HTTP Server) for unusual or repeated HTTP requests targeting the Depot RepairEstimate and Actual Charges endpoint. Look for unauthorized or unexpected source IPs.
    Affected if Unusual or unauthorized HTTP requests are found targeting the affected component

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