NVD · unedited
Vulnerability in the Oracle Common Applications Calendar product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: Tasks). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.6-12.2.13. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Common Applications Calendar. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or all Oracle Common Applications Calendar accessible data as well as unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle Common Applications Calendar accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 8.1 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/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

This is an unauthenticated HTTP vulnerability in Oracle E-Business Suite's Common Applications Calendar (Tasks component) affecting versions 12.2.6-12.2.13. A low-privileged attacker with network access can exploit this to achieve high confidentiality and integrity impacts—creating, modifying, or deleting critical calendar data, or gaining unauthorized access to sensitive information. The attack is easily exploitable over the network with no user interaction required.

MitigationApply Oracle's Critical Patch Update (CPU) or specific security patch for CVE-2024-21270 to the affected E-Business Suite instances. Prior to production deployment, test in a non-production environment to verify the patch does not disrupt Calendar/Tasks functionality.

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 and version
    Query the database or use Oracle Application Manager (OAM) to retrieve the E-Business Suite version. Run 'select release_name from apps.fnd_product_groups' or access the 'About Oracle E-Business Suite' page from the Help menu.
    Affected if The version number returned is between 12.2.6 and 12.2.13 inclusive.
  2. Identify if Common Applications Calendar component is enabled
    Check the E-Business Suite concurrent manager configuration or application menu for the presence and status of the 'Common Applications Calendar' or 'Tasks' module. Use Oracle Applications Manager to view enabled components.
    Affected if The Calendar/Tasks module is listed as enabled or installed in the E-Business Suite instance.
  3. Verify HTTP accessibility of the Calendar/Tasks endpoint
    Attempt to access the Calendar component via HTTP using the typical Oracle EBS URL path '/OA_HTML/AppsLogin' or '/OA_HTML/cal', or check the Oracle HTTP Server configuration for alias mappings to the Calendar module.
    Affected if The Calendar/Tasks component responds to HTTP requests and is reachable over the network without authentication.
  4. Confirm network exposure of the affected service
    Review Oracle E-Business Suite listener (IAS) configuration and network firewall rules to determine if the Oracle HTTP Server port is exposed to untrusted networks. Check the 'sqlnet.ora' and listener.ora for allowed clients.
    Affected if The HTTP port for E-Business Suite is accessible from outside the trusted network or from untrusted IP addresses.

You are affected if your Oracle E-Business Suite version is 12.2.6 through 12.2.13 AND the Common Applications Calendar/Tasks component is enabled and accessible via HTTP from your network.
