Vulnerability in the Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition product of Oracle Java SE (component: JGSS). Supported versions that are affected are Oracle Java SE: 8u503, 8u503-perf, 11.0.32.1, 17.0.20.1, 21.0.12.1, 25.0.4.1, 27; Oracle GraalVM for JDK: 17.0.20.1 and 21.0.12.1; 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, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition accessible data. Note: This vulnerability 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. This vulnerability does not apply to Java deployments, typically in servers, that load and run only trusted code (e.g., code installed by an administrator). CVSS 3.1 Base Score 5.3 (Confidentiality impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N).

Frequently Asked Questions

1

Which deployments are realistically exposed?

This applies to Java client deployments running sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets that load and execute untrusted code, such as code obtained from the internet, while relying on the Java sandbox for security. The description indicates that typical server deployments are not affected.

2

What must an attacker do to exploit this issue?

The attacker is unauthenticated and can have network access through multiple protocols, but exploitation is difficult and requires interaction by someone other than the attacker. A successful attack targets a vulnerable Java deployment that loads untrusted sandboxed code.

3

What is the potential impact of successful exploitation?

Successful exploitation can give unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all data accessible to the affected Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, or Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition deployment.

4

Which versions are identified as affected?

Affected Oracle Java SE versions are 8u503, 8u503-perf, 11.0.32.1, 17.0.20.1, 21.0.12.1, 25.0.4.1, and 27. Affected Oracle GraalVM for JDK versions are 17.0.20.1 and 21.0.12.1, while Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition 21.3.19.1.1 is affected.
