UBUNTU-CVE-2026-91375: Medium severity ubuntu/openjdk-8 vulnerability
Vulnerability in Oracle Java SE (component: Libraries). Supported versions that are affected are Oracle Java SE: 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 logon to the infrastructure where Oracle Java SE executes to compromise Oracle Java SE. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or all Oracle Java SE accessible data. 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 4.7 (Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N).

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is realistically exposed to exploitation?
Exploitation requires an unauthenticated attacker to have logon access to the infrastructure where Java executes. It also requires interaction by a person other than the attacker, and the attack is rated difficult to exploit.
Which deployment patterns warrant particular attention?
The issue can be exploited through APIs in the affected component, including when a web service supplies attacker-controlled data to those APIs. It also applies to client Java deployments that run untrusted code in sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets.
What is the potential impact if exploitation succeeds?
A successful attack can allow unauthorized creation, deletion, or modification of critical data or of all data accessible to the affected Java SE installation. The stated CVSS impact is limited to integrity; no confidentiality or availability impact is listed.
