Defensive priority

High priority. CISA added this CVE to KEV on 2024-11-21 with a remediation due date of 2024-12-12, so affected deployments should be addressed immediately.

Recommended defensive actions

  • Identify all Oracle Agile Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) instances in your environment, including test and subsidiary deployments.
  • Review Oracle’s security advisory for CVE-2024-21287 and apply the vendor’s mitigations or patches as directed.
  • If Oracle mitigations are unavailable or cannot be deployed promptly, discontinue use of the product in line with CISA guidance.
  • Restrict exposure of PLM systems to only the users and network segments that absolutely require access.
  • Verify whether any systems were exposed before remediation and review authentication/authorization-related logs for suspicious activity.
  • Track the CISA KEV catalog and Oracle security updates until remediation is complete.
