dbcve analysis · high confidence

A vulnerability in Oracle Payroll's Internal Operations component in E-Business Suite versions 12.2.3-12.2.15 allows low-privileged attackers with network access via HTTP to create, delete, or modify critical data, and gain unauthorized access to critical or all Oracle Payroll data. The CVSS vector indicates high confidentiality and integrity impacts with no availability impact.

MitigationApply the Oracle Critical Patch Update addressing this vulnerability. Restrict network access to Oracle E-Business Suite HTTP interfaces and ensure low-privileged users have minimal necessary permissions to Payroll modules.

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 version
    Query the Oracle database for the installed E-Business Suite version using SQL: SELECT release_name FROM apps.fnd_product_groups; or check the OAM (Oracle Application Manager) about page.
    Affected if The version falls between 12.2.3 and 12.2.15 inclusive.
  2. Confirm Payroll module is enabled
    Check if Oracle Payroll is installed and enabled in the E-Business Suite instance. This can be done via Oracle Application Manager (OAM) under Module Details, or by querying registered applications.
    Affected if Oracle Payroll module is registered as installed and enabled in the system.
  3. Verify HTTP access to Payroll interfaces
    Review the Oracle E-Business Suite web entry points and confirm whether HTTP listeners are exposed for the Payroll functionality. Check Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) or Oracle Web Listener configuration.
    Affected if HTTP access to Oracle E-Business Suite is exposed over the network without proper restriction.
  4. Check for untrusted network exposure
    Review network access controls, firewall rules, or Oracle WebGate configuration to determine if the Payroll HTTP endpoints are accessible from untrusted networks.
    Affected if The Payroll HTTP interfaces are accessible from networks that are not explicitly trusted.

You are affected if your Oracle E-Business Suite runs version 12.2.3 through 12.2.15, the Payroll module is enabled, and the HTTP interfaces are network-accessible to untrusted sources.
