Description
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. 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 of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition 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 3.7 (Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N).

AI Analysis

Impact

Vulnerability exists in the JAXP component of Oracle Java SE and GraalVM products. An unauthenticated attacker with network access can exploit this defect through multiple protocols to bypass security controls and gain unauthorized update, insert or delete privileges over accessible data. The impact is a loss of data integrity, as malicious actors could alter or erase information without permission.

Affected Systems

Oracle vendors are impacted across Java SE and GraalVM lines. 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 is affected in versions 17.0.20.1 and 21.0.12.1, while Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition 21.3.19.1.1 is also vulnerable. Any deployment using the JAXP component in these versions is at risk.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS base score of 3.7 indicates low severity, and the EPSS score is not available, suggesting limited exploitation data. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is network‑based, requiring an unauthenticated attacker to communicate via one of the supported protocols to the JAXP‑exposed APIs—such as a web service feeding untrusted data. Successful exploitation permits data modification but does not provide remote code execution or wide‑scale system compromise.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Oracle Java SE, GraalVM for JDK, and GraalVM Enterprise Edition to patched versions that eliminate the JAXP flaw.
  • Restrict or disable the JAXP APIs if they are not essential to application functionality.
  • Ensure that any untrusted code loaded by Java Web Start applications or applets is executed under the correct sandbox and security policy.
  • If immediate patching is not possible, isolate the affected services from external network traffic or limit the protocols that interact with the JAXP component.
