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 Agile PLM installationLocate Oracle Agile PLM installation directory or check for Agile-related services running on the system. Common paths include $ORACLE_HOME/Agile or check Windows services for 'Oracle Agile PLM'.Affected if Oracle Agile PLM software is present on the system
-
Verify installed versionCheck the installed Oracle Agile PLM version number. This is typically found in the About section of the application, in installation logs, or via administrative console. Compare your version to 9.3.6.Affected if The installed version is exactly 9.3.6
-
Confirm Export component is enabledCheck if the Export component feature is enabled in Oracle Agile PLM. This is configured in the application administration settings under module or feature enablement. Review the application's feature configuration or component list.Affected if The Export component is enabled and accessible in the application
-
Assess network accessibilityDetermine if the Oracle Agile PLM HTTP interface is exposed to network access. Check firewall rules, load balancer configurations, or direct network exposure that allows HTTP access to the Export functionality.Affected if The application HTTP interface is reachable over the network from untrusted sources
The environment is affected if Oracle Agile PLM version 9.3.6 is installed with the Export component enabled and accessible over 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 Oracle's available security patch for CVE-2024-20953; until then, restrict network access to the Agile PLM application and enforce least-privilege user accounts.
