Oracle Java SE version 8u491 is vulnerable due to a flaw in the JavaFX component, which could allow an unauthenticated attacker with network access to gain unauthorized read access to certain data, provided they can trick a user into interacting with malicious content. This vulnerability primarily affects client-side Java deployments, particularly those running untrusted code in sandboxed environments, such as Java Web Start applications or applets. Organizations utilizing these Java client applications should prioritize remediation to mitigate potential data exposure risks.

Original NVD Description

Vulnerability in Oracle Java SE (component: JavaFX). The supported version that is affected is Oracle Java SE: 8u491. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols 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 read access to a subset of Oracle Java SE 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 3.1 (Confidentiality impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N).
