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 E-Business Suite installation
    Check for Oracle E-Business Suite processes running on the system (such as Oracle HTTP Server/Apache, Oracle Forms, or database connections). Look for processes associated with the E-Business Suite application tier.
    Affected if Oracle E-Business Suite is installed and running on the server
  2. Determine the E-Business Suite version
    Query the Oracle database for the version using SQL: SELECT release_name FROM apps.fnd_product_groups; or check the ADUtilities version documentation (sqlplus apps/... @ad_IDENTIFY). Alternatively, check the Oracle OPatch inventory for Oracle Public Sector Financials patches.
    Affected if The installed version falls within 12.2.6 through 12.2.15 inclusive
  3. Verify Public Sector Financials module is enabled
    Check if the Public Sector Financials (International) module is installed and enabled. Query: SELECT application_name, status FROM fnd_application WHERE application_name LIKE '%Public%Sector%'; or check through Oracle Applications Manager (OAM).
    Affected if The Public Sector Financials module shows as 'Enabled' or 'Installed' in the application registry
  4. Confirm network accessibility
    Review the Oracle HTTP Server (OHS/Apache) configuration to determine if the E-Business Suite is exposed to network access via HTTPS. Check listener.ora and httpd.conf for binding to external interfaces (0.0.0.0) rather than localhost only.
    Affected if The E-Business Suite is accessible over HTTPS from network locations (not restricted to localhost or trusted IPs only)

You are affected if Oracle E-Business Suite with Public Sector Financials module is running version 12.2.6 through 12.2.15 and is accessible over the network, allowing low-privileged users to potentially bypass authorization controls.
