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 Identity Manager Connector product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: Generic Unix Connector). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via SSH to compromise Identity Manager Connector. While the vulnerability is in Identity Manager Connector, attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Identity Manager Connector. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 9.9 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/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 · high confidence

Critical vulnerability in Oracle Identity Manager Connector's Generic Unix Connector allows low-privileged attackers with network access via SSH to achieve complete takeover of the connector. The CVSS 9.9 score reflects the critical severity given the low attack complexity, changed scope impacting additional products, and total compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

MitigationApply Oracle patches for versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0 immediately. Restrict SSH access to the connector using network segmentation and follow least-privilege principles for connector service accounts.

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 Identity Manager Connector installation
    Check if Oracle Identity Manager Connector is installed on the system. Look for Oracle Fusion Middleware or Oracle Identity Management directory structures, typically under $ORACLE_HOME or /opt/oracle. Search for directories named 'oim' or 'idm' that contain connector-related files.
    Affected if Oracle Identity Manager Connector is installed and the Generic Unix Connector component is present
  2. Determine the installed connector version
    Locate version files or manifest files within the Oracle Identity Manager Connector installation. Check for version.properties, manifest.mf, or similar version metadata files in the connector deployment directories. Look specifically for the Generic Unix Connector component version.
    Affected if The installed version matches exactly 12.2.1.4.0 or 14.1.2.1.0
  3. Verify Generic Unix Connector is configured
    Examine the connector configuration files for the Generic Unix Connector. Look in the connector's config directory for XML or properties files that define Unix/Linux target system connections. Check for connector configuration XML files with 'GenericUnix' or 'Unix' in the filename or configuration content.
    Affected if Generic Unix Connector is configured and active for managing Unix/Linux targets
  4. Check SSH connectivity configuration
    Review connector configuration for SSH-based connectivity settings. Examine the connector's IT (Resource Object) configuration in Oracle Identity Manager or the connector's direct configuration files for SSH connection parameters such as host, port, and authentication settings.
    Affected if SSH network access is enabled as the communication protocol for the connector
  5. Review connector deployment artifacts
    Search for deployed connector JAR files or deployment descriptors. Look for files named GenericUnixConnector.jar, or similar naming patterns, in the connector libraries directory. Check deployment descriptors that reference the vulnerable component.
    Affected if Generic Unix Connector JAR files for the affected versions are deployed

A user is affected if Oracle Identity Manager Connector with Generic Unix Connector is installed, the version is exactly 12.2.1.4.0 or 14.1.2.1.0, and SSH-based connectivity to Unix/Linux target systems is configured or enabled.
