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 · high confidence

SQL injection or improper authorization flaw in Oracle E-Business Suite US Federal HR Internal Operations component allows low-privileged authenticated users to modify or view sensitive HR data via crafted HTTP requests. The AC:L (low attack complexity) and PR:L (low privileges) indicate the vulnerability is easily exploitable over the network.

MitigationApply the relevant Oracle Critical Patch Update for this vulnerability to the affected E-Business Suite 12.2.3-12.2.15 instances. Restrict network access to Internal Operations endpoints to authorized personnel until patched.

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 E-Business Suite installation
    Identify if Oracle E-Business Suite is deployed in the environment by checking for Oracle application processes, ORACLE_HOME directories, or consulting Oracle Enterprise Manager/Cloud Control for installed Oracle products.
    Affected if Oracle E-Business Suite is not present in the environment
  2. Verify US Federal HR module is enabled
    Access Oracle E-Business Suite administration console and navigate to the US Federal Human Resources module. Check if the Internal Operations component is configured and accessible. Query the FND_APPS_INITIALIZE or similar Oracle applications tables to identify enabled modules.
    Affected if The US Federal Human Resources Internal Operations module is enabled and accessible
  3. Check Oracle E-Business Suite version
    Run the command "sqlplus apps/<password> @$APPL_TOP/admin/sql/adverif.sql" or query the "FND_PRODUCT_INSTALLATIONS" table to obtain the E-Business Suite version. Compare the installed version against Oracle's official version documentation for the CPU that addresses this CVE.
    Affected if The installed Oracle E-Business Suite version falls within the unpatched range for this vulnerability
  4. Review HTTP access logs for Internal Operations
    Examine web server access logs (Apache/OHS) for the Internal Operations module path (typically under /OA_HTML/fnd/ or /federal/) for suspicious or unexpected SQL-like patterns in HTTP request parameters.
    Affected if Unexpected SQL syntax or injection patterns appear in HTTP requests to the Internal Operations endpoint
  5. Audit user permissions for Federal HR
    Query the Oracle responsibilities and user access tables (FND_USER, FND_RESPONSIBILITY) to enumerate which users have access to the US Federal Human Resources responsibilities. Identify any low-privileged accounts with access.
    Affected if Low-privileged users have access to the Internal Operations module

A user is affected if Oracle E-Business Suite with the US Federal Human Resources Internal Operations module is running an unpatched version and is accessible to low-privileged users.
