CVE-2022-21472
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 FLEXCUBE Universal Banking product of Oracle Financial Services Applications (component: Infrastructure). Supported versions that are affected are 12.4, 14.0-14.3 and 14.5. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle FLEXCUBE Universal Banking. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or all Oracle FLEXCUBE Universal Banking accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle FLEXCUBE Universal Banking accessible data and unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of Oracle FLEXCUBE Universal Banking. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 5.9 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:L).
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 confidenceVulnerability in Oracle FLEXCUBE Universal Banking Infrastructure component allows low-privileged attackers with network access via HTTP to perform unauthorized creation, modification, and deletion of critical data, along with partial read access and partial denial of service. Exploitation requires human interaction and has high attack complexity.

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.
-
Locate Oracle FLEXCUBE Universal Banking installationSearch for FLEXCUBE installation directories (commonly in Oracle product home paths such as $ORACLE_HOME/flexcube or C:\Oracle\Flexcube) or check for FLEXCUBE-related services running on the systemAffected if Oracle FLEXCUBE Universal Banking software is installed on the host
-
Identify installed versionCheck version files in the installation directory (look for version.txt, README, or manifest files) or query the application through its admin interface for version informationAffected if The installed version cannot be determined or does not match the documented version format
-
Compare version against affected rangesMatch the identified version against these vulnerable ranges: 12.4.0, 14.0.0 through 14.3.0 (inclusive), or 14.5.0Affected if Installed version is 12.4.0, falls between 14.0.0 and 14.3.0 inclusive, or equals 14.5.0
-
Verify HTTP accessibilityConfirm that the FLEXCUBE web interface or API endpoints are accessible over HTTP/HTTPS from the network, as the vulnerability requires network access via HTTPAffected if The FLEXCUBE web component is exposed on the network and reachable via HTTP
The environment is affected if Oracle FLEXCUBE Universal Banking is installed with version 12.4.0, 14.0.0-14.3.0, or 14.5.0 and the web interface is network-accessible.
