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
    Locate Oracle E-Business Suite installation directories or check for running Oracle E-Business Suite processes on the system. Common installation paths include $ORACLE_HOME/apps or C:\Oracle\EBS. Look for Oracle HTTP Server or Oracle Application Server processes.
    Affected if Oracle E-Business Suite is not present on the system.
  2. Determine Oracle E-Business Suite version
    Query the Oracle E-Business Suite version using the adIdent utility or check the APPL_TOP version file. Run 'adident version <module>' or inspect the version.txt in the $APPL_TOP directory. Alternatively, query the database for the version: SELECT release_name FROM apps.fnd_product_groups;
    Affected if The installed version falls within 12.2.3 through 12.2.14 inclusive.
  3. Verify Marketing Administration component is enabled
    Check if the Marketing module is installed and enabled. Query Oracle Applications Manager or check the status via Oracle E-Business Suite Control (emctl). Look for the Marketing product in the enabled product list: SELECT product_name, status FROM apps.fnd_product_installations WHERE product_name LIKE '%MARKETING%';
    Affected if The Marketing Administration component is enabled and running.
  4. Check network exposure of Marketing Administration interface
    Review firewall rules and web server configuration to determine if the Oracle E-Business Suite Marketing Administration URLs are accessible from the network. Check Oracle HTTP Server configuration files (httpd.conf or oracle_apache.conf) for Marketing-related aliases and directives. Scan for exposed Marketing Admin ports (typically 8000-8009, 443, 80).
    Affected if The Marketing Administration interface is reachable over HTTP/HTTPS from untrusted networks.

You are affected if Oracle E-Business Suite version 12.2.3 to 12.2.14 is installed with the Marketing Administration component enabled and accessible over the network.
