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 Human Resources product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: Person). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.3-12.2.15. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Human Resources. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle Human Resources. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 7.5 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/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

SQL injection vulnerability in the Person component of Oracle Human Resources (E-Business Suite 12.2.3-12.2.15) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via crafted HTTP requests. The requirement for human interaction suggests the attacker must trick a legitimate user into performing an action (e.g., clicking a malicious link) to facilitate the attack chain leading to complete system takeover.

MitigationApply Oracle Critical Patch Update for Oracle E-Business Suite. Prior to production deployment, test thoroughly in a non-production environment as Oracle E-Business Suite patches can affect HR workflows. Implement web application firewall (WAF) rules as an interim control to detect and block anomalous HTTP requests to the Person component.

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 installation and version
    Check the Oracle Applications version by accessing the login page HTML source, checking the about page, or querying the database (FND_PRODUCT_GROUPS or similar). Alternatively, check the environment or configuration files that store the EBS version.
    Affected if The installed version is between 12.2.3 and 12.2.15 inclusive
  2. Confirm the Person component is enabled
    Verify that the Human Resources module and its Person component are accessible in the EBS environment. Check the functional responsibility setup and module availability.
    Affected if The Person component is enabled and accessible to users
  3. Check if HTTP endpoints for Person component are exposed
    Identify if web URLs for the Person component (typically under /OA_HTML/ or similar HR-related paths) are exposed externally without proper network segmentation or authentication barriers.
    Affected if The Person component HTTP endpoints are externally accessible without additional authentication layers
  4. Review existing input validation or WAF coverage
    Inspect whether a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or custom input validation filters are deployed in front of the EBS application, particularly for the Person component endpoints.
    Affected if No WAF or input validation is in place to detect and block anomalous SQL injection patterns in HTTP requests to the Person component

A user is affected if they have Oracle E-Business Suite version 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 with the Person component enabled and accessible, and without WAF or input validation controls blocking SQL injection attempts.

Interim mitigation

Apply Oracle Critical Patch Update for Oracle E-Business Suite. Prior to production deployment, test thoroughly in a non-production environment as Oracle E-Business Suite patches can affect HR workflows. Implement web application firewall (WAF) rules as an interim control to detect and block anomalous HTTP requests to the Person component.
