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 Financial Services Analytical Applications Infrastructure is installed
    Check for the presence of Oracle Financial Services Analytical Applications Infrastructure installation by looking for its installation directory, running services, or associated processes on the system
    Affected if The product is present on the system
  2. Identify the installed version
    Locate and examine the version information for the Oracle Financial Services Analytical Applications Infrastructure installation, typically found in installation manifests, about pages, or version files within the product directory
    Affected if The installed version matches 8.0.7.9.0, 8.0.8.7.0, or 8.1.2.5.0 exactly
  3. Verify HTTP network exposure
    Check network configuration and firewall rules to determine if the Oracle Financial Services Analytical Applications Infrastructure HTTP interface is accessible from untrusted network segments
    Affected if The HTTP interface is exposed to network access without authentication

A user is affected if they have Oracle Financial Services Analytical Applications Infrastructure version 8.0.7.9.0, 8.0.8.7.0, or 8.1.2.5.0 installed with the HTTP interface accessible over the network.
