dbcve analysis · high confidence

A critical vulnerability in Oracle Universal Work Queue's Work Provider Site Level Administration component allows low-privileged attackers with network access via HTTP to completely takeover the affected system. The vulnerability has a scope change, potentially impacting additional Oracle E-Business Suite products beyond the Universal Work Queue component.

MitigationApply Oracle Critical Patch Update (CPU) containing the fix for this vulnerability. Prior to production deployment, test thoroughly in non-production environments given the scope change potential to other E-Business Suite products.

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 Universal Work Queue installation
    Query your Oracle E-Business Suite application inventory or use Oracle's version detection utilities to confirm Oracle Universal Work Queue component is present in your environment
    Affected if Oracle Universal Work Queue is not installed or the component is absent from the environment
  2. Determine installed version
    Use Oracle Application Express, Oracle Application Manager, or SQL queries against the Oracle E-Business Suite version tables (e.g., FND_PRODUCT_GROUPS) to retrieve the exact version of Oracle Universal Work Queue
    Affected if The installed version falls within the range >= 12.2.3 AND <= 12.2.15
  3. Verify Work Provider Site Level Administration is enabled
    Check the Oracle Universal Work Queue configuration settings, typically via the Work Provider Site Level Administration interface in Oracle Applications Manager (OAM) or by querying configuration tables for administrative feature status
    Affected if The Work Provider Site Level Administration component is enabled and accessible
  4. Assess network exposure of administrative interface
    Review network configuration, firewall rules, and web server access controls to determine if the Work Provider Site Level Administration HTTP endpoints are accessible from network segments outside the trusted zone
    Affected if The administrative interface is exposed to untrusted network segments or the internet

The environment is affected if Oracle Universal Work Queue version 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 is installed AND the Work Provider Site Level Administration component is enabled and network-accessible to attackers.
