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
    Locate the E-Business Suite installation directory (typically $ORACLE_HOME/applications/fnd) and check for the presence of Oracle Public Sector Financials modules. Query the database for installed modules: SELECT product_version FROM apps.fnd_product_installations WHERE product LIKE '%Public%Sector%';
    Affected if Oracle Public Sector Financials module is not installed - not affected. If module exists, continue to version check.
  2. Determine E-Business Suite version
    Query the version from the database: SELECT release_name FROM apps.fnd_product_groups; OR check the version from the environment: cd $APPL_TOP && cat ../admin/driver/ADOVI.tab OR look at the Oracle Applications Manager interface showing the release version.
    Affected if Version is 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 - potentially affected. Versions below 12.2.3 or above 12.2.15 are not in the affected range.
  3. Verify Internal Operations component is enabled
    Query if Internal Operations module is configured: SELECT module_name, status FROM apps.fnd_modules WHERE module_name LIKE '%Internal%Ops%' OR module_name LIKE '%Internal Operations%'; OR check through Oracle Applications Manager > Site Map > Internal Operations > Site Management.
    Affected if Internal Operations component is enabled and accessible - vulnerable configuration. If disabled or not present, the attack surface may be reduced.
  4. Check network exposure of HTTP interfaces
    Verify if Oracle E-Business Suite web interfaces (Oracle Application Server/Oracle HTTP Server) are exposed to network access: Review Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) configuration in $ORACLE_HOME/config/OHS/ohs1/httpd.conf for Listen directives and VirtualHost entries. Check if the /OA_HTML/ or /OA_JSP/ paths are accessible externally.
    Affected if E-Business Suite HTTP interfaces are reachable from untrusted networks - attacker can reach the vulnerability. If only accessible from trusted internal networks, risk is reduced but not eliminated.

User is affected if Oracle Public Sector Financials version is between 12.2.3 and 12.2.15, the Internal Operations component is enabled, and the HTTP interface is network-accessible to the attacker.
