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 Configurator product of Oracle Supply Chain (component: Installation). Supported versions that are affected are 12.1 and 12.2. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Configurator. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle Configurator accessible data. CVSS 3.0 Base Score 5.3 (Confidentiality impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/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

Unauthenticated information disclosure vulnerability in Oracle Configurator's Installation component. An attacker with network access via HTTP can read a subset of Oracle Configurator accessible data without credentials. The CVSS vector indicates a straightforward network attack with no authentication required and low confidentiality impact.

MitigationApply Oracle's Critical Patch Update for CVE-2020-2865 to affected versions 12.1 and 12.2. Until patched, restrict network access to Oracle Configurator HTTP interfaces and implement network segmentation.

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 Configurator installation
    Check for Oracle Configurator components in the Oracle E-Business Suite environment. Look for the 'Configurator' product directory in the Oracle applications hierarchy (typically under $APPL_TOP or equivalent). Query the Oracle database tables like fnd_product_installations or similar Oracle EBS product tables to confirm Configurator is installed.
    Affected if Oracle Configurator product is found in the environment
  2. Determine installed Configurator version
    Query the Oracle EBS version tables or check the Configurator release documentation files. In Oracle EBS, you can typically use the 'adident' utility on Configurator library files or query fnd_product_groups for the Configurator version string.
    Affected if The installed version is 12.1 or 12.2 (exact match to the affected versions)
  3. Verify HTTP interface is exposed
    Test network connectivity to the Oracle Configurator HTTP endpoints. Common paths include /OA_HTML/configurator or similar Context root paths. Use curl or a web scanner to check if the HTTP port responds to Configurator URLs without requiring authentication.
    Affected if The Configurator HTTP interface is accessible over the network without authentication
  4. Check network accessibility
    Review firewall rules, load balancer configurations, and Oracle WebLogic/Apache configuration files that control access to the Configurator application tier. Verify whether the HTTP port (typically 8000-8009 or similar) is exposed to untrusted networks.
    Affected if The Configurator HTTP port is reachable from untrusted/network-accessible hosts

If Oracle Configurator versions 12.1 or 12.2 are installed and their HTTP interfaces are network-accessible without authentication, the environment is affected by CVE-2020-2865.
