CVE-2026-91395: Medium severity Oracle Java SE vulnerability
Vulnerability in the Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition product of Oracle Java SE (component: Utility). Supported versions that are affected are Oracle Java SE: 8u503, 8u503-perf, 11.0.32.1; Oracle GraalVM for JDK: 17.0.20.1 and 21.0.12.1; Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition: 21.3.19.1.1. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition accessible data and unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. Note: This vulnerability can be exploited by using APIs in the specified Component, e.g., through a web service which supplies data to the APIs. This vulnerability also applies to Java deployments, typically in clients running sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets, that load and run untrusted code (e.g., code that comes from the internet) and rely on the Java sandbox for security. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 6.5 (Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L).

Frequently Asked Questions
What access does an attacker need to exploit this issue?
An attacker does not need authentication or user interaction. The issue is described as easily exploitable by an attacker with network access through multiple protocols, including where a web service supplies attacker-controlled data to the affected APIs.
Which deployments are most likely to be exposed?
Network-accessible applications or services that pass untrusted data to APIs in the affected Utility component are exposed. Client-side Java deployments may also be affected when they run sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets that load and execute untrusted content.
What is the potential impact of successful exploitation?
Successful exploitation can allow unauthorized update, insert, or delete operations on some accessible data. It can also allow an attacker to cause a partial denial of service affecting the vulnerable Java SE or GraalVM deployment.
Which versions are identified as affected?
The affected versions listed are Oracle Java SE 8u503, 8u503-perf, and 11.0.32.1; Oracle GraalVM for JDK 17.0.20.1 and 21.0.12.1; and Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition 21.3.19.1.1.
