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 Installed Base product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: Data Provider UI). 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 Installed Base. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and while the vulnerability is in Oracle Installed Base, 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 Installed Base accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle Installed Base 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

Unauthenticated HTTP vulnerability in Oracle E-Business Suite Installed Base Data Provider UI allows remote attackers to achieve unauthorized read and write access to a subset of data without credentials, requiring human interaction. The scope change indicates attacks may impact additional products beyond Oracle Installed Base.

MitigationApply Oracle Critical Patch Updates for E-Business Suite 12.2.3-12.2.13; if immediate patching is not feasible, restrict network access to the Installed Base UI via web application firewall or network segmentation.

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
    Locate the Oracle E-Business Suite installation directory or check for EBS-related services running on the system. Common paths include $ORACLE_HOME/apps or check for Oracle HTTP Server listening on ports like 8000-8009.
    Affected if Oracle E-Business Suite is installed and the Installed Base module is present
  2. Identify Oracle Installed Base version
    Query the Oracle database for the IB version: SELECT patch_level FROM fnd_product_installations WHERE product='ASG'; or check the About Oracle Installed Base page in the EBS UI at /OA_HTML/ibfndval.jsp
    Affected if Version falls within 12.2.3 through 12.2.13 inclusive
  3. Verify Installed Base Data Provider UI is accessible
    Test HTTP access to the Installed Base Data Provider endpoints. Common paths include /OA_HTML/ib/ or /OA_HTML/iberp/ or check if the Oracle Installed Base responsibility is available in the EBS Navigator.
    Affected if The Installed Base UI endpoints are reachable over HTTP/HTTPS without authentication
  4. Confirm the vulnerability exposure
    Attempt an unauthenticated request to the Installed Base Data Provider URL. If the response returns data or allows actions without requiring login credentials, the system is vulnerable.
    Affected if The Installed Base UI responds to unauthenticated requests or returns data without requiring Oracle EBS credentials

A user is affected if Oracle Installed Base version 12.2.3 through 12.2.13 is installed and the Data Provider UI is accessible over the network without authentication.
