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 MES for Process Manufacturing installation
    Identify if Oracle MES for Process Manufacturing or Oracle E-Business Suite with MES components is installed in the environment. Check for related Oracle application directories, services, or Oracle WebLogic deployments running MES modules.
    Affected if The product is not installed or this CVE does not apply to the deployed Oracle product stack.
  2. Verify installed version against affected range
    Locate the installed version of Oracle MES for Process Manufacturing or the relevant Oracle E-Business Suite MES component. Common locations include Oracle application server configuration files, Oracle Enterprise Manager, or version query tools provided by Oracle.
    Affected if The installed version falls within 12.2.3 through 12.2.13 (inclusive).
  3. Confirm Device Integration component is enabled
    Check whether the Device Integration component is configured and enabled in the Oracle MES installation. This may be visible in the Oracle MES administrative console, component configuration files, or Oracle Fusion Middleware controls.
    Affected if The Device Integration component is present and enabled in the Oracle MES environment.
  4. Determine HTTP network exposure
    Identify if the Device Integration component exposes HTTP/HTTPS endpoints to the network. Check Oracle WebLogic configuration, Oracle HTTP Server settings, or network firewall rules that permit access to MES web interfaces.
    Affected if The component HTTP endpoints are reachable from network locations beyond the trusted internal network.

The environment is affected if Oracle MES for Process Manufacturing (or related Oracle E-Business Suite MES) version 12.2.3 through 12.2.13 is installed with the Device Integration component enabled and exposed via HTTP to the network.
