CVE-2026-87293: Medium severity Oracle Java SE vulnerability
Vulnerability in Oracle Java SE (component: RMI). Supported versions that are affected are Oracle Java SE: 8u503 and 8u503-perf; Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition: 21.3.19.1.1. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Oracle Java SE. While the vulnerability is in Oracle Java SE, attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle Java SE accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle Java SE accessible data. Note: This vulnerability can only be exploited by supplying data to APIs in the specified Component without using Untrusted Java Web Start applications or Untrusted Java applets, such as through a web service. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 5.4 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N).

Event History
Frequently Asked Questions
Which deployments are affected?
Affected supported versions are Oracle Java SE 8u503 and 8u503-perf, and Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition 21.3.19.1.1. The affected component is RMI.
What does an attacker need to exploit this issue?
An unauthenticated attacker needs network access through multiple protocols and must be able to supply data to APIs in the affected component, for example through a web service. Oracle rates exploitation as difficult, reflected by the high attack-complexity metric.
Are Java Web Start applications or Java applets required for exploitation?
No. The issue can be exploited without using untrusted Java Web Start applications or untrusted Java applets; the relevant condition is supplying data to the affected APIs.
What could a successful attack allow?
A successful attack can allow unauthorized read access to a subset of accessible data and unauthorized update, insertion, or deletion of some accessible data. Because scope changes, impacts may significantly extend to additional products.
