Impact
Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, and Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition contain a flaw in the JAAS component that allows an unauthenticated attacker to read a subset of data exposed through APIs. The vulnerability does not appear to require privilege escalation or user interaction; once accessed, the confidentiality of the read data is compromised, potentially exposing sensitive information that was intended to be protected by the Java sandbox or authentication controls.
Affected Systems
The flaw affects Oracle Java SE versions 8u503, 8u503‑perf, 11.0.32.1, 17.0.20.1, 21.0.12.1, 25.0.4.1, and 27, as well as Oracle GraalVM for JDK versions 17.0.20.1 and 21.0.12.1, and Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition 21.3.19.1. These include desktop and server builds deployed across diverse environments, including sandboxed Java Web Start applications and Java applets that load untrusted code.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.3 indicates a moderate confidentiality impact. The EPSS score indicates a probability of exploitation of less than 1%, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting that no confirmed exploitation has yet been reported. Attackers can reach the affected APIs over the network via multiple protocols; based on the description, the attack vector appears to be open to the network and does not require additional privileges, putting organizations with exposed API endpoints at a higher risk.
