CVE-2025-21527
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 · uneditedVulnerability in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools product of Oracle JD Edwards (component: Design Tools SEC). Supported versions that are affected are Prior to 9.2.9.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and while the vulnerability is in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools, 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 JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools 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).

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools versionAccess the Oracle Enterprise Manager or system administration console, or check the installation metadata via the 'About' page in the JD Edwards web interface at /jde/About. Alternatively, query the Oracle database repositories or check the installed package manifest for the Tools release number.Affected if The displayed version is lower than 9.2.9.0 (e.g., 9.2.8.x, 9.2.7.x, or earlier releases).
-
Verify Design Tools SEC component is enabledAccess the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Configuration Manager or Server Manager and inspect the list of enabled components under the Design Tools category. Confirm whether the Security (SEC) component is installed and activated.Affected if The Design Tools SEC component is present and enabled in the configuration.
-
Check HTTP exposure of Design Tools endpointsFrom a network perspective, verify which HTTP/HTTPS endpoints are exposed for the Design Tools SEC functionality. This may involve reviewing the web server configuration (Oracle WebLogic, IBM Http Server) or API gateway settings to identify accessible paths under the Design Tools area.Affected if The Design Tools SEC HTTP endpoints are reachable from the network without authentication.
-
Review recent access logs for Design Tools pathsExamine the HTTP access logs (typically located in the web server logs directory) for requests to Design Tools-related paths. Look for unusual or unauthorized access patterns to /designtools/* or similar SEC-related endpoints.Affected if Unauthenticated HTTP requests to Design Tools SEC paths appear in the logs from external or unexpected sources.
You are affected if your JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools version is below 9.2.9.0 AND the Design Tools SEC component is enabled and exposed via HTTP.
