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 Oracle E-Business Suite versionQuery the Oracle database or use Oracle Application Manager (OAM) to retrieve the current EBS version. Common methods include: running 'select release_name from apps.fnd_product_groups;' or accessing OAM > Oracle Applications Manager > License Manager.Affected if The installed version falls within the range 12.2.3 to 12.2.15 inclusive.
-
Confirm Payroll Self Service Manager component is configuredVerify whether the Payroll Self Service Manager module is installed and enabled in the Oracle E-Business Suite instance. This can be checked via Oracle Application Manager > Site Map > Functional Administrator > Concurrent > Modules, or by reviewing the installed modules list.Affected if The Payroll Self Service Manager component is present and enabled in the EBS instance.
-
Verify HTTP access to Oracle E-Business SuiteConfirm that the Oracle E-Business Suite web interfaces (Oracle Applications Framework) are accessible over HTTP/HTTPS. Check the web listener configuration and determine if internal or external network access is permitted.Affected if The EBS web interfaces are reachable via network access using HTTP protocol, enabling external attackers to send requests.
-
Check user access controls for Payroll moduleReview the security configuration for the Payroll Self Service Manager to determine if low-privileged users (such as employees or generic users) can access payroll-related functions through the self-service web interface.Affected if Low privileged user accounts can access or submit payroll-related requests through the self-service portal.
The environment is affected if Oracle E-Business Suite version is between 12.2.3 and 12.2.15 AND the Payroll Self Service Manager component is enabled and accessible via HTTP to low privileged users.
