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. Verify Oracle E-Business Suite version
    Log into Oracle Applications Manager (OAM) or check the version using the command: sqlplus / as sysdba select release_name from apps.fnd_product_groups; Compare the version to the affected range: 12.2.3 through 12.2.13
    Affected if The installed version falls within 12.2.3 to 12.2.13 inclusive
  2. Confirm Oracle Advanced Pricing module is installed
    Query the database: SELECT application_id, application_name FROM fnd_application WHERE application_name LIKE '%Pricing%'; Or check via OAM under Applied Patches/Applications
    Affected if Oracle Advanced Pricing (Oracle Advanced Product Pricing) is present in the Oracle E-Business Suite installation
  3. Check if Price List functionality is accessible
    Verify if the Price List responsibility/function is assigned to any user by querying: SELECT DISTINCT fr.responsibility_name FROM fnd_responsibility fr JOIN fnd_menu_entries fme ON fr.menu_id = fme.menu_id WHERE fme.prompt LIKE '%Price List%'; Or attempt to access the Price List web interface via the EBS homepage
    Affected if Users have access to the Price List module through Oracle EBS responsibilities
  4. Assess network exposure of EBS pricing endpoints
    Review firewall rules, load balancer configurations, or web server (Oracle HTTP Server) settings to determine if the /pricing/ or /ebusiness/ paths are exposed to untrusted networks. Check if the EBS application is accessible from the internet or DMZ
    Affected if The Oracle Advanced Pricing application is reachable from untrusted network locations without proper access controls

Your environment is affected if you run Oracle E-Business Suite versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.13, have the Advanced Pricing module installed with Price List functionality accessible to users, and the application is network-accessible beyond trusted boundaries.
