Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Vulnerability in the Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform product of Oracle Enterprise Manager (component: Extensibility Framework). Supported versions that are affected are 13.5 and 24.1. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows high privileged attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform executes to compromise Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform. While the vulnerability is in Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform, attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 8.2 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H).

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

A local privilege escalation vulnerability in the Extensibility Framework component of Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform (versions 13.5 and 24.1) allows high-privileged attackers with local system access to compromise the platform. Due to scope change, successful exploitation may impact additional products beyond the primary target, potentially leading to complete system takeover with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact.

MitigationApply Oracle-provided security patches for Enterprise Manager when available; restrict physical and logical access to servers running Oracle Enterprise Manager and implement defense-in-depth controls around the infrastructure.

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 Enterprise Manager installation
    Check if Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform is installed on the system by looking for the enterprise manager directory structure, typically under $ORACLE_HOME/em or searching for emctl and emcli executables
    Affected if Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform is present on the system
  2. Verify affected version
    Run the Oracle Enterprise Manager command to display the installed version, typically via 'emctl status em' or check the version file in the Oracle Home directory under em/response/oracle-emissions.properties
    Affected if The installed version is exactly 13.5.0.0 or exactly 24.1.0.0.0
  3. Confirm Extensibility Framework is configured
    Check if the Extensibility Framework module is enabled by examining the Oracle Enterprise Manager console for extensibility features, or check for the presence of extensibility-related configuration files in the em/EMGC_CommonDomain directory
    Affected if The Extensibility Framework is enabled or has extensibility plug-ins loaded in the environment
  4. Review high-privileged account access
    Audit the list of users granted SYSMAN, Super Administrator, or equivalent high-privileged roles in Oracle Enterprise Manager using the console or emcli commands like 'emcli list -roles'
    Affected if Multiple high-privileged accounts exist beyond the initially documented administrators, indicating broader attack surface
  5. Inspect local system access controls
    Review operating system-level access controls and verify which OS users have write access to the Oracle Enterprise Manager home directory and related processes
    Affected if Uncontrolled or excessive OS-level access exists for the Oracle EM installation path

A system is affected only if Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform versions 13.5.0.0 or 24.1.0.0.0 are installed with the Extensibility Framework enabled and the attacker has high-privileged local system access.
