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 Collaborative Planning product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: User Interface). Supported versions that are affected are 12.1.1-12.1.3. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Collaborative Planning. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or all Oracle Collaborative Planning accessible data as well as unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle Collaborative Planning accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 8.1 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/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 · moderate confidence

SQL injection or similar input validation flaw in Oracle Collaborative Planning UI allows low-privileged authenticated users to craft malicious HTTP requests that bypass normal access controls, enabling unauthorized data modification (insert/update/delete) and confidential data exfiltration.

MitigationApply Oracle Critical Patch Update (CPU) patches for Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1.1-12.1.3; verify patch compatibility in test environment before production deployment.

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. Confirm Oracle Collaborative Planning is installed
    Locate the Oracle E-Business Suite installation and identify if the Collaborative Planning module is present. This is typically found in the Oracle Applications manager or through the AD_BUGS or FND_PRODUCT_INSTALLATIONS tables in the Oracle database.
    Affected if The Collaborative Planning module is present in the Oracle E-Business Suite environment.
  2. Check the installed version
    Query the version of Oracle Collaborative Planning using Oracle Applications manager, the FND_PRODUCT_INSTALLATIONS table, or the Oracle Applications patch level reports. Compare against the affected range: 12.1.1 through 12.1.3.
    Affected if The installed version is 12.1.1, 12.1.2, or 12.1.3.
  3. Verify the Collaborative Planning UI is accessible
    Check if the Collaborative Planning web interface is enabled and accessible. This is typically served through the Oracle Applications Web Tier (Oracle HTTP Server). Look for the /oa_html/ or /OA_HTML/ directory paths that host the Collaborative Planning UI.
    Affected if The Collaborative Planning UI is accessible via web URLs such as /oa_html/ or similar Oracle Application Framework paths.
  4. Confirm authentication mechanisms are in place
    Review the Oracle E-Business Suite authentication configuration and verify that low-privileged users can access the Collaborative Planning UI. Check for proper Oracle Application Framework (OAF) security configurations and session management.
    Affected if Low-privileged authenticated users can access the Collaborative Planning UI without additional security restrictions.

Your environment is affected if Oracle Collaborative Planning version 12.1.1 through 12.1.3 is installed and the UI component is accessible to authenticated users.
