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 Configuration Manager product of Oracle Enterprise Manager (component: Discovery and collection script). The supported version that is affected is 12.1.2.0.6. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Configuration Manager. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle Configuration Manager accessible data as well as unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle Configuration Manager accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 7.1 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/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 confidence

Vulnerability in Oracle Configuration Manager's discovery and collection script component allows low-privileged attackers with network access via HTTP to compromise the system. Successful exploitation grants unauthorized access to critical data and potential modify access to some data, with high confidentiality and low integrity impacts.

MitigationApply Oracle patch 12.1.2.0.6 for Oracle Configuration Manager. Until patched, restrict HTTP network access to the affected component and monitor for unauthorized access attempts.

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 if Oracle Configuration Manager is installed
    Locate Oracle Configuration Manager installation directory or check for Oracle CMU (Configuration Manager) related processes/services on the system. Common locations include $ORACLE_HOME/ccr or /opt/oracle/ccr directories.
    Affected if Oracle Configuration Manager software is present on the system
  2. Determine installed Oracle Configuration Manager version
    Run the version check command for Oracle Configuration Manager. Typically found in the CCR bin directory (ccr version or similar command) or check the release inventory file.
    Affected if Installed version equals exactly 12.1.2.0.6
  3. Verify the discovery and collection script component status
    Check if the discovery and collection script component is configured and active. Look for scheduled collection jobs, scripts in the discovery directory, or the CCR collection daemon process.
    Affected if Discovery and collection scripts are enabled and configured to run
  4. Check network exposure of the component
    Verify if the Oracle Configuration Manager HTTP listener or collection endpoint is accessible over HTTP. Review network listeners, firewall rules, or web server configuration for CCR-related ports (typically 5800 or similar).
    Affected if The component is reachable via HTTP from the network

The environment is affected if Oracle Configuration Manager version 12.1.2.0.6 is installed with the discovery and collection script component enabled and accessible via HTTP network access.
