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 HR Intelligence product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: Internal Operations). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.3-12.2.15. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle HR Intelligence. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle HR Intelligence. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 7.5 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/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

Vulnerability in Oracle HR Intelligence (Internal Operations component) allows low privileged attackers with network access via HTTP to achieve complete takeover of the application. The vulnerability affects Oracle E-Business Suite versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15. Despite the high CVSS score of 7.5, Oracle characterizes it as 'difficult to exploit.' The CVSS vector indicates high attack complexity, low privilege requirement, no user interaction, and high impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

MitigationApply the latest Oracle Critical Patch Update (CPU) for Oracle E-Business Suite to address this vulnerability. If immediate patching is not possible, restrict network access to the Oracle HR Intelligence HTTP interfaces to reduce the attack surface.

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. Confirm Oracle HR Intelligence module is installed
    Log into Oracle Application Manager or check Oracle System Tables (FND_PRODUCT_GROUPS) to verify if the HR Intelligence product (HRI) is registered in your Oracle E-Business Suite environment.
    Affected if HR Intelligence (HRI) product is listed as installed in the system
  2. Identify the Oracle E-Business Suite version
    Run the SQL query SELECT release_name FROM fnd_product_groups; or access Oracle Application Manager > Site Map > About Oracle Applications to retrieve the E-Business Suite release version.
    Affected if The version returned is between 12.2.3 and 12.2.15 inclusive
  3. Verify the Internal Operations component is enabled
    Check Oracle HR Intelligence module configuration through Oracle Application Manager > Oracle HR Intelligence > Module Configuration, or query Oracle module status tables to confirm the Internal Operations component is active.
    Affected if Internal Operations component status shows as 'Enabled' or 'Active'
  4. Confirm HTTP access to HR Intelligence is exposed
    Review Oracle E-Business Suite concurrent manager configuration and Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) configuration files (typically in $ORACLE_CONFIG_HOME/forms/ or Apache configuration) to verify HR Intelligence HTTP endpoints are accessible over the network.
    Affected if HTTP listeners for HR Intelligence are configured and accessible from network (non-localhost)
  5. Verify attacker conditions - low privilege network access
    Review Oracle E-Business Suite user provisioning to confirm whether low-privileged users (not SYSDBA, not Application Administrator) can access HR Intelligence HTTP interfaces through the network.
    Affected if Low-privileged users have network-accessible HTTP connectivity to HR Intelligence

Your environment is affected if Oracle HR Intelligence with Internal Operations is enabled, running on Oracle E-Business Suite versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15, and exposed via HTTP to the network where low-privileged users can reach it.
