CVE-2020-2847
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 · uneditedVulnerability 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 confidenceOracle Depot Repair's Estimate and Actual Charges component contains an unauthenticated HTTP vulnerability allowing remote attackers to access, modify, or delete data. The CVSS vector indicates network exploitability without credentials, requiring human interaction, with scope changes affecting additional products. The high confidentiality and low integrity impacts suggest an injection-based flaw (likely SQL or similar) enabling unauthorized data access.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Verify Oracle Depot Repair is installedCheck for Oracle E-Business Suite installation and identify if Oracle Depot Repair module is present. Look for depot repair related application files, services, or Oracle E-Business Suite modules.Affected if Oracle Depot Repair component is present in the environment
-
Confirm the installed version falls within affected rangeQuery the Oracle E-Business Suite version information. In Oracle applications, this can often be found via the adident utility, version files in $APPL_TOP, or by querying FND_PRODUCT_INSTALLATIONS table.Affected if Installed version is >= 12.1.1 and <= 12.1.3
-
Determine if Estimate and Actual Charges component is accessibleIdentify if the Estimate and Actual Charges web interface or service endpoint is exposed. Check Oracle Application Manager (OAM) or Oracle Applications Framework for the Depot Repair module status and accessibility.Affected if The Estimate and Actual Charges component is enabled and accessible via HTTP
-
Verify HTTP interface exposure for Depot RepairInspect web server configuration (Oracle HTTP Server, Oracle WebLogic) to determine if Depot Repair forms or services are exposed over HTTP without authentication. Check Oracle Fusion Middleware enterprise manager for deployed applications.Affected if Depot Repair HTTP interfaces are reachable without requiring authentication
-
Review access controls on affected endpointsExamine Oracle E-Business Suite responsibility definitions and function security for Depot Repair. Verify whether Estimate and Actual Charges functions are protected by Oracle Applications username/password authentication.Affected if The Estimate and Actual Charges functionality can be accessed without valid Oracle Applications credentials
Environment is affected if Oracle Depot Repair version 12.1.1 through 12.1.3 is installed with the Estimate and Actual Charges component accessible via unauthenticated HTTP.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataApply Oracle Critical Patch Update (CPU) for Oracle E-Business Suite addressing this vulnerability. If no patch available, restrict network access to Oracle Depot Repair interfaces and implement additional authentication layers, while validating all input to prevent injection attacks.
