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 · unedited
Vulnerability in the Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition product of Oracle Analytics (component: Analytics Web Administration). Supported versions that are affected are 7.6.0.0.0 and 8.2.0.0.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows high privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and while the vulnerability is in Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition, attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 8.4 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts).

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. Identify Oracle BI installation
    Locate the Oracle Business Intelligence installation directory, typically under $ORACLE_HOME/bi/biee or similar paths. Check for the presence of 'Oracle_BI' or 'biee' directories.
    Affected if Oracle Business Intelligence is installed on the system
  2. Determine BI version
    Check the version of the installed Oracle Business Intelligence. This can typically be found in the installation logs, about page in the Analytics web interface, or by examining version files in the installation directory. Compare against the affected versions 7.6.0.0.0 and 8.2.0.0.0.
    Affected if The installed version exactly matches 7.6.0.0.0 or 8.2.0.0.0
  3. Verify Analytics Web Administration component status
    Check if the Analytics Web Administration interface is enabled and accessible. This is typically available at paths like /analytics/sa/admin or /bi-admin under the BI web context. Attempt to access the administration console.
    Affected if The Analytics Web Administration component is enabled and network-accessible via HTTP
  4. Confirm network exposure
    Determine if the BI web interface (typically on ports 7001, 9500, or similar) is exposed to the network or if it is restricted to localhost only. Review firewall rules and WebLogic/Oracle HTTP Server configuration.
    Affected if The Analytics Web Administration interface is reachable over the network from untrusted locations

You are affected if you are running exactly version 7.6.0.0.0 or 8.2.0.0.0 of Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition with the Analytics Web Administration component enabled and network-accessible.
