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.
-
Identify Oracle Financial Services Analytical Applications Infrastructure installationLocate the Oracle Financial Services Analytical Applications Infrastructure installation directory or check for related services and processes on the systemAffected if The software is present on the server
-
Determine the installed version of Oracle Financial Services Analytical Applications InfrastructureCheck the version information within the installation directory, configuration files, or using Oracle application inventory toolsAffected if The installed version falls within the range >= 8.0.7 and <= 8.1.1
-
Verify if the Unified Metadata Manager component is installed and runningCheck for the Unified Metadata Manager module, service, or web application within the OFSAA Infrastructure installationAffected if The Unified Metadata Manager component is present and operational
-
Determine if the Unified Metadata Manager is exposed via HTTP/HTTPSInspect network configuration, web server settings, or firewall rules to determine if the Unified Metadata Manager web interface is accessible over HTTP or HTTPSAffected if The Unified Metadata Manager is accessible via HTTP/HTTPS from the network
The environment is affected if Oracle Financial Services Analytical Applications Infrastructure version 8.0.7 through 8.1.1 is installed with the Unified Metadata Manager component exposed over HTTP/HTTPS to 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 Oracle Critical Patch Update that addresses CVE-2021-35687 for the Financial Services Analytical Applications Infrastructure product. Since this is an unauthenticated information disclosure, ensure network segmentation and restrict HTTP/HTTPS access to the Unified Metadata Manager component from untrusted networks.
