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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify installed PeopleTools versionLocate the PeopleSoft installation directory (typically PS_HOME) and check the version file or use PeopleSoft Configuration Manager to view the PeopleTools version. Common locations include version.txt in PS_HOME or the About PeopleTools dialog in the application.Affected if The installed PeopleTools version is exactly 8.61 or 8.62
-
Confirm Deployment Package component is presentCheck if the Deployment Package functionality is installed or configured in the PeopleSoft environment. This may be visible in PeopleSoft Application Designer, PeopleSoft Setup Manager, or as a deployed component within the PS_HOME directory structure.Affected if Deployment Package component exists in the installation
-
Verify local access exposureReview physical and logical access controls on the servers hosting PeopleSoft. Check user accounts with access to the deployment infrastructure, including deployment utilities, PS_HOME directory, and deployment scripts.Affected if Servers running PeopleSoft are accessible to users outside the trusted administrator group, or physical access is unrestricted
You are affected if your environment runs PeopleTools version 8.61 or 8.62 with the Deployment Package component accessible to users with local server access.
