Vulnerability in the Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition product of Oracle Java SE (component: JAXP). 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. 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 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 5.3 (Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L).

Frequently Asked Questions

1

Which deployments are most exposed to this issue?

Deployments that expose JAXP APIs to attacker-controlled data through a network-facing service, such as a web service, are exposed. Java client deployments that run untrusted sandboxed Java Web Start applications or applets and rely on the Java sandbox are also affected.

2

Does exploitation require authentication or user interaction?

No. The vulnerability is described as easily exploitable by an unauthenticated attacker with network access, and the CVSS vector indicates no privileges or user interaction are required.

3

What is the expected impact of a successful attack?

Successful exploitation can allow an attacker to cause a partial denial of service. The supplied CVSS vector indicates no confidentiality or integrity impact.

4

Which Java releases are identified as affected?

Affected Oracle Java SE releases include 8u503, 8u503-perf, 11.0.32.1, 17.0.20.1, 21.0.12.1, 25.0.4.1, and 27. Oracle GraalVM for JDK 17.0.20.1 and 21.0.12.1, and Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition 21.3.19.1.1, are also identified as affected.
