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 Application Development Framework (ADF) product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: ADF Faces). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.0.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle Application Development Framework (ADF) executes to compromise Oracle Application Development Framework (ADF). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle Application Development Framework (ADF). CVSS 3.1 Base Score 7.8 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

Vulnerability in Oracle ADF Faces component of Oracle Fusion Middleware allows a low-privileged attacker with local access to the infrastructure to compromise Oracle ADF, potentially achieving complete system takeover with high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

MitigationApply Oracle's latest Critical Patch Update for Oracle Fusion Middleware to obtain the security fix for affected versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.0.0; until patches are available, restrict physical and logical access to servers running Oracle ADF and follow least-privilege principles for ADF application users.

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 ADF installation location
    Locate the Oracle Fusion Middleware home directory (typically $ORACLE_HOME) and look for ADF libraries in the oracle_common or modules directory. Check for adf.jar, adf-faces.jar, or similar Oracle ADF libraries.
    Affected if The installation uses Oracle Application Development Framework libraries from Oracle Fusion Middleware
  2. Determine installed ADF version
    Check the version of Oracle ADF libraries. In the Oracle Fusion Middleware home, examine META-INF/MANIFEST.MF files within adf*.jar files, or use Oracle Enterprise Manager to view installed component versions. Also check the documentation or patch inventory for the ADF version.
    Affected if The installed Oracle ADF version is exactly 12.2.1.4.0 or exactly 14.1.2.0.0
  3. Verify ADF Faces component is in use
    Confirm that Oracle ADF Faces is deployed and actively used. Check application deployment descriptors (web.xml, adfc-config.xml, faces-config.xml) for ADF Faces servlet definitions and check if the application uses ADF Faces components/ RichFaces.
    Affected if ADF Faces component is deployed and running within the ADF application
  4. Check application accessibility
    Determine if the ADF application is accessible over the network or if attackers could obtain local access to the server infrastructure. Review network exposure and physical access controls to the Oracle WebLogic Server hosting ADF applications.
    Affected if The server hosting Oracle ADF is accessible to low-privileged users either physically or via network

The environment is affected if Oracle ADF version 12.2.1.4.0 or 14.1.2.0.0 is installed, ADF Faces component is deployed, and attackers could potentially gain local access to the infrastructure.
