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
    Check the Oracle E-Business Suite version by running 'adident Header $APPL_TOP/admin/adinstant.sql' or reviewing the version file in the application tier. Alternatively, query the Oracle Applications tables (FND_PRODUCT_GROUPS) if database access is available.
    Affected if The base Oracle E-Business Suite version is 12.1.1, 12.1.2, or 12.1.3.
  2. Locate the Partner Management module version
    Query the Oracle Applications database for the Partner Management product version using 'SELECT product_version FROM fnd_product_installations WHERE product_name = ''Partner Management'''; or check the Partner Management top-level directory for version files.
    Affected if The Partner Management module version falls within 12.1.1 through 12.1.3.
  3. Confirm Attribute Admin Setup component is present
    Verify that the Partner Management Attribute Admin Setup functionality is installed and accessible. Check for the presence of the relevant Oracle Forms or OA Framework pages under the Partner Management responsibility.
    Affected if The Attribute Admin Setup component (Attribute Admin Setup) is installed and accessible within the Partner Management module.
  4. Verify network accessibility via HTTP
    Confirm that the Oracle E-Business Suite web interface (Oracle HTTP Server or Oracle Application Server) is accessible over HTTP/HTTPS from the network. Review Oracle WebLogic or Oracle HTTP Server configuration files.
    Affected if The Oracle E-Business Suite is network-accessible via HTTP protocol, allowing unauthenticated attackers to reach the Partner Management interface.

Your environment is affected if Oracle E-Business Suite version is 12.1.1-12.1.3, the Partner Management module within this version range is installed, and the Attribute Admin Setup component is accessible over the network via HTTP.
