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 Partner Management product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: Reseller Locator). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.3-12.2.11. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Partner Management. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and while the vulnerability is in Oracle Partner Management, attacks may significantly impact additional products. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle Partner Management accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle Partner Management accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 6.1 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/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 · moderate confidence

An unauthenticated HTTP-based vulnerability in Oracle Partner Management's Reseller Locator component (versions 12.2.3-12.2.11) allows remote attackers to perform unauthorized read and write operations on a subset of accessible data without credentials, but requires human interaction (such as clicking a malicious link) to trigger the attack.

MitigationApply Oracle's security patch for CVE-2022-21373 to the affected Oracle E-Business Suite environment, and consider deploying a Web Application Firewall (WAF) as a compensating control to block malicious HTTP requests targeting the Reseller Locator component.

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 Oracle Partner Management version
    Query the Oracle Applications version using the Oracle Applications Manager interface or by checking the FND_PRODUCT_GROUPS table for the patch level of the Partner Management module.
    Affected if The displayed version is between 12.2.3 and 12.2.11 inclusive.
  2. Confirm the Reseller Locator component is installed
    Access the Oracle E-Business Suite administrator screens and verify that the Partner Management module with the Reseller Locator sub-component is present and enabled in the application menu.
    Affected if The Reseller Locator component is listed as installed and active in the Oracle Partner Management module.
  3. Verify HTTP access to Reseller Locator is enabled
    Check the Oracle Application Framework (OAF) page configuration or the Oracle Web Applications Desktop Integrator settings to determine if the Reseller Locator endpoint is accessible via HTTP/HTTPS.
    Affected if The Reseller Locator is exposed over HTTP and accessible to unauthenticated users.
  4. Inspect for unauthenticated HTTP endpoints
    Attempt to access the Reseller Locator page URL pattern (typically under /oa_html/ or /oa_servlets/ with ResellerLocator in the path) without providing login credentials to confirm it accepts unauthenticated requests.
    Affected if The Reseller Locator page loads or returns an HTTP response without requiring Oracle username/password authentication.

Your environment is affected if Oracle Partner Management version is 12.2.3 through 12.2.11 AND the Reseller Locator component is enabled and accessible via HTTP without authentication.

Upgrade available Upgrade to a release after 12.2.11
Interim mitigation

Apply Oracle's security patch for CVE-2022-21373 to the affected Oracle E-Business Suite environment, and consider deploying a Web Application Firewall (WAF) as a compensating control to block malicious HTTP requests targeting the Reseller Locator component.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence
  1. Log in to Oracle Support (support.oracle.com) and search for CVE-2022-21373 or Oracle Partner Management patches
  2. Apply the appropriate Oracle E-Business Suite Critical Patch Update (CPU) for January 2022 or later that addresses this vulnerability
  3. After applying the patch, verify the Reseller Locator component is no longer vulnerable by reviewing the CPU announcement documentation
  4. Test the Oracle Partner Management application to confirm normal functionality after patch application
