CVE-2021-2059
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 iStore product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: Web interface). Supported versions that are affected are 12.1.1-12.1.3 and 12.2.3-12.2.10. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle iStore. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle iStore accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 5.3 (Confidentiality impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/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 confidenceOracle iStore web interface contains an information disclosure vulnerability allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to read a subset of accessible data via specially crafted HTTP requests. The flaw is easily exploitable over the network with only confidentiality impact (CVSS 5.3).

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 iStore is installedCheck for Oracle E-Business Suite iStore component by querying the Oracle Applications Manager interface or checking for iStore-related database objects in the APPS schemaAffected if iStore component exists in the Oracle E-Business Suite environment
-
Determine iStore versionAccess Oracle Applications Manager or run SQL query 'SELECT ibe_version FROM ibe_versions' against the iStore schema to obtain the installed iStore version numberAffected if version falls within 12.1.1 to 12.1.3 OR 12.2.3 to 12.2.10 inclusive
-
Confirm web interface is accessibleAttempt to access the iStore storefront URL pattern (typically /iber/astore or /oa_html/ibeCCtpSplash.jsp) via HTTP from a browser or curl commandAffected if iStore web pages are reachable over HTTP/HTTPS
-
Check for anomalous HTTP requests in logsReview Oracle HTTP Server access logs or Apache access logs for unusual GET/POST requests to iStore servlets, particularly those with unexpected parameters or path traversal patternsAffected if suspicious or unauthorized HTTP request patterns targeting iStore endpoints are present in logs
Your environment is affected if Oracle iStore version is between 12.1.1-12.1.3 or 12.2.3-12.2.10 and the iStore web interface is accessible over the network.

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 the relevant Oracle Critical Patch Update (CPU) containing the security fix for CVE-2021-2059 to the affected Oracle E-Business Suite iStore implementations (versions 12.1.1-12.1.3 and 12.2.3-12.2.10).
