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 Oracle Enterprise Manager installationLook for Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform installation directories (commonly under $ORACLE_HOME/em or C:\oracle\em) or check for 'Oracle Management Service' running as a Windows service or Unix daemonAffected if Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform is not installed on the system
-
Determine installed versionCheck the version file in the installation directory, typically found in $ORACLE_HOME/em/EMInstl/ver.txt or use 'emctl status agent' command from the Oracle bin directory to retrieve version informationAffected if The installed version matches exactly 13.5.0.0 or 24.1.0.0.0
-
Verify Oracle Management Service HTTP endpoint is accessibleCheck if the OMS HTTP port is listening (default ports include 7801, 7802, 7803, 4889, 8080, 8443) using 'netstat -an | grep -E "(7801|7802|7803|4889|8080|8443)"' or by reviewing firewall rules and listener configurationsAffected if The Oracle Management Service HTTP interface is listening and accepting network connections
-
Confirm lack of authentication requirementAttempt to access the HTTP endpoint (e.g., http://hostname:port/em) and verify whether the interface allows access without presenting login credentials or redirecting to an authentication portalAffected if The HTTP interface returns application content without requiring any authentication credentials
The system is affected if Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform versions 13.5.0.0 or 24.1.0.0.0 are installed and the Oracle Management Service HTTP interface is network-accessible without requiring authentication.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataApply Oracle's latest security patches for Enterprise Manager versions 13.5 and 24.1 immediately. If patches unavailable, restrict network access to Oracle Management Service interfaces and implement additional firewall controls.
