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 PeopleSoft Enterprise PeopleTools installation
    Query the PSVERSION table via SQL: SELECT OBJECTTYPE, VERSION FROM PSVERSION WHERE OBJECTTYPE LIKE 'PT%' or check PeopleSoft banner page accessible via HTTP
    Affected if Oracle PeopleSoft Enterprise PeopleTools is installed
  2. Identify installed PeopleTools version
    Run SQL query against PSVERSION table or check the PeopleSoft About page (PeopleTools > About) to determine exact version number
    Affected if Installed version is exactly 8.61 or 8.62
  3. Verify HTTP interface is accessible
    Check if PeopleSoft Internet Architecture (PIA) web servers are reachable via HTTP/HTTPS on standard ports (typically 80, 443, or custom ports)
    Affected if HTTP/HTTPS interface is exposed to network
  4. Confirm Security component is in use
    Verify the Security component (PeopleTools > Security) is configured and accessible, as this is the vulnerable component
    Affected if Security component is enabled and accessible

System is affected if it runs PeopleSoft Enterprise PeopleTools version 8.61 or 8.62 with the Security component accessible via HTTP to low-privileged users
