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. Verify EAS Console is installed
    Locate the Oracle Essbase Administration Services installation directory. Common paths include $ORACLE_HOME/EPMSystem11R1 or similar Oracle EPM installation paths. Look for easconsole.jar or related EAS Console components.
    Affected if EAS Console binaries are present on the system
  2. Identify the EAS Console version
    Check the version of the installed Oracle Essbase Administration Services. This can typically be found in version.txt, README files within the EAS installation directory, or by accessing the EAS Console web interface and checking the About/Help section.
    Affected if The version number returned is less than 11.1.2.4.047
  3. Confirm the EAS Console HTTP service is running
    Check if the EAS Console HTTP listener is active. This is typically on port 9080 or 10080 by default. Use a command like 'netstat -an | grep -E "9080|10080"' or check the EAS Console configuration files (such as config.xml) to verify HTTP binding is enabled.
