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.
-
Identify Oracle Depot Repair installationQuery the Oracle E-Business Suite version using the application version utilities (FND_GLOBAL.APPS_INITIALIZE or Oracle Application Manager). Look for the Depot Repair module in the installed modules list.Affected if Oracle Depot Repair module is not found in the E-Business Suite installation, then the system is not affected by this specific component vulnerability.
-
Check Depot Repair version against affected rangeRetrieve the installed version of Oracle Depot Repair from the Oracle Applications Manager or by querying the FND_PRODUCT_INSTALLATIONS table. Compare the version to the range 12.1.1 through 12.1.3.Affected if The installed version is 12.1.1, 12.1.2, or 12.1.3.
-
Verify Estimate and Actual Charges component is enabledCheck the Oracle Depot Repair responsibilities and functions in the Oracle Application Manager. Look for the Estimate and Actual Charges function under the Depot Repair responsibility.Affected if The Estimate and Actual Charges component is enabled and accessible to users.
-
Confirm HTTP accessibility of the Depot Repair interfaceReview the Oracle E-Business Suite listener configuration (Oracle HTTP Server or Oracle Web Listener). Determine if the /oa_html/ or /OA_HTML/ paths for Depot Repair are accessible over HTTP without authentication.Affected if The Depot Repair web interfaces are exposed over HTTP/HTTPS to untrusted networks.
