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 Complex Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: LOV). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.3-12.2.13. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Complex Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and while the vulnerability is in Oracle Complex Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul, attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle Complex Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle Complex Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul 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 · high confidence

Oracle E-Business Suite Complex Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul contains a vulnerability in the List of Values (LOV) component. An unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP can exploit this flaw to achieve unauthorized read, insert, update, or delete access to a subset of the application's data. The attack requires human interaction and may impact additional products due to scope change.

MitigationApply the Oracle Critical Patch Update for April 2024 that addresses CVE-2024-21044, or apply the relevant patch for Oracle E-Business Suite version 12.2.3-12.2.13. Oracle recommends reviewing the April 2024 Critical Patch Update and implementing all applicable security patches for the E-Business Suite installation.

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. Confirm Oracle E-Business Suite installation
    Check for the presence of Oracle E-Business Suite by looking for its application directories (typically under $APPL_TOP or in Oracle WebLogic/Oracle HTTP Server paths) or by querying the Oracle database for EBS-related schema objects.
    Affected if Oracle E-Business Suite is not installed - the check does not apply
  2. Identify the EBS version number
    Run the command 'adident Header $AD_TOP/bin/adworker' or query the 'FND_PRODUCT_RELEASES' table in the Oracle database to retrieve the installed version of Oracle E-Business Suite.
    Affected if The installed version is greater than or equal to 12.2.3 AND less than or equal to 12.2.13 - the environment falls within the affected range
  3. Verify Complex Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (CMRO) module
    Check if the CMRO module is enabled by querying the 'FND_APPLICATION' or 'FND_PRODUCT_INSTALLATIONS' tables for 'ONT' (Oracle Order Management) or specific CMRO-related responsibilities, or by reviewing the EBS application module configuration.
    Affected if The CMRO/Complex Maintenance module is installed and enabled in the EBS environment
  4. Confirm HTTP network accessibility
    Verify that the Oracle E-Business Suite web interfaces (Oracle Application Server/Oracle HTTP Server) are accessible over HTTP/HTTPS on the configured port (typically 8000, 8001, or 443). Check the Oracle E-Business Suite context file or configuration files for web listener status.
    Affected if The EBS web interface is reachable via network HTTP/HTTPS requests - this allows the unauthenticated attacker to reach the LOV component

If Oracle E-Business Suite version 12.2.3 through 12.2.13 is installed with the CMRO module enabled and the web interface is network-accessible via HTTP, the environment is potentially affected by CVE-2024-21044.

Upgrade available Upgrade to a release after 12.2.13
Interim mitigation

Apply the Oracle Critical Patch Update for April 2024 that addresses CVE-2024-21044, or apply the relevant patch for Oracle E-Business Suite version 12.2.3-12.2.13. Oracle recommends reviewing the April 2024 Critical Patch Update and implementing all applicable security patches for the E-Business Suite installation.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2.14 or later

  1. 1. Review the Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2.14 release notes and upgrade considerations
  2. 2. Prepare a comprehensive test environment mirroring the production setup
  3. 3. Execute a full backup of the Oracle E-Business Suite database and application tier
  4. 4. Apply the Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2.14 upgrade in a non-production environment first
  5. 5. Validate all Critical Patch Update (CPU) fixes included in 12.2.14, specifically confirming CVE-2024-21044 is addressed
  6. 6. Run functional and integration tests for the Complex Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul module
  7. 7. After successful testing, schedule production upgrade during maintenance window
  8. 8. Verify the LOV component and CSRF protections are functioning correctly post-upgrade
Caveat Review Oracle 12.2.14 release notes for any deprecated features or required configuration changes; some custom integrations may need updating
