Frequently Asked Questions

1

Which deployments are exposed to this issue?

Deployments using the JGSS component in the listed affected Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, or Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition versions may be exposed when they accept attacker-supplied data through the relevant APIs, such as via a web service. The issue is reachable over the network through multiple protocols.

2

Does exploitation require authentication or user interaction?

No. The CVSS vector indicates that an unauthenticated attacker can exploit the issue without user interaction, although exploitation is rated difficult and requires network access.

3

What could a successful attacker do?

A successful attack can allow unauthorized creation, deletion, or modification of critical data or of data accessible to the affected Java SE or GraalVM product. The stated impact is integrity only; confidentiality and availability impacts are not listed.

4

Are Java Web Start applications or Java applets required for exploitation?

No. Oracle states that exploitation occurs by supplying data to APIs in the JGSS component without using untrusted Java Web Start applications or untrusted Java applets.
