| Exploitation Conditions | The target must run an affected Oracle Java SE, GraalVM for JDK, or GraalVM Enterprise Edition build (e.g. Java SE 8u511-b32, 11.0.33.0.2, 17.0.21.0.2, 21.0.13.0.2, 25.0.5.0.2, 27.0.1.0.2; GraalVM for JDK 17.0.21.0.2 / 21.0.13.0.2; GraalVM EE 21.3.20.0.2) and must expose the JSSE component to attacker-influenced input - Oracle specifies exploitation 'by using APIs in the specified Component, e.g., through a web service which supplies data to the APIs.' A second, distinct exploitation mode is Java deployments running sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed applets that load and run untrusted code and rely on the Java sandbox. Per the CVSS vector there are no limiting prerequisites for the server-side API path: AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N means remote, unauthenticated, no user interaction, against configurations that process untrusted secure-protocol data through JSSE. The practical limiting factor is reachability - the vulnerable JSSE code path must actually be invoked on attacker-supplied data; A:N means no denial-of-service impact. |
| Impact | All quantitative signals point the same direction and mark this as a genuine priority. The Oracle CVSS 3.1 vector (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N, base 9.1) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity flaw needing no privileges and no user interaction, with high confidentiality and integrity impact but no availability impact - consistent with a JSSE (TLS/SSL) trust or authentication-bypass defect rather than a crash. The vuln.today decision label is 'act_now', reinforcing high urgency. Against that, the exploitation-evidence signals are thin and should not be overstated: no CISA KEV listing, no EPSS probability supplied, and no public PoC or exploit reference beyond the Oracle advisory itself. So the picture is a high-severity, easily-exploitable flaw in an extremely widely deployed runtime with no confirmed in-the-wild exploitation at time of analysis. The 'Authentication Bypass' tag aligns with C:H/I:H and A:N (an attacker who defeats JSSE authentication can read and alter protected data but does not take the service down). One point to verify: Oracle lists the same version strings as both 'affected' and in EUVD's affected list, which is Oracle's convention - confirm the specific fixed build for each branch against the Oracle security alert before remediation planning. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with network access sends crafted data to a network service that uses the vulnerable JSSE component to handle a TLS/secure protocol - for example a web service that feeds attacker-supplied data into the affected APIs - and exploits the authentication/trust weakness to read or tamper with data the connection was meant to protect. A second affected class is sandboxed Java Web Start applications or applets that load untrusted code and rely on the Java sandbox. No public exploit code is identified in the provided data, but Oracle rates the flaw 'easily exploitable' with low attack complexity and no authentication. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 24, 2026
Remote unauthenticated compromise of Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, and Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition is possible through the JSSE component when attacker-influenced data reaches the affected APIs. The listed affected builds include Java SE 8u511-b32, 8u511-perf-b32, 11.0.33.0.2, 17.0.21.0.2, 21.0.13.0.2, 25.0.5.0.2, and 27.0.1.0.2, plus GraalVM for JDK 17.0.21.0.2/21.0.13.0.2 and GraalVM Enterprise Edition 21.3.20.0.2. Per the assessed CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, exploitation is remote, unauthenticated, and requires no user interaction on the API path, with high confidentiality and integrity impact and no availability impact; no CISA KEV entry, public exploit code, or EPSS score was supplied, and the vuln.today decision label is act_now.
RemediationAI
Patch available per vendor advisory: apply the fixed builds named in Oracle's security alert for CVE-2026-114820 at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/alert-cve-2026-114820.html, because the supplied data does not enumerate exact fixed build numbers and none of the affected builds listed above should be assumed remediated. The available data does not identify a supported JSSE feature-disable or configuration-only workaround, so the vendor advisory should be treated as the complete fix path; if immediate upgrade is not possible, reduce reachability by limiting which network services pass attacker-controlled data into JSSE APIs and by restricting execution of untrusted sandboxed Java Web Start applications or applets, recognizing that these are exposure reductions rather than substitutes for the fix. Verify the installed build against Oracle's advisory for every JDK and GraalVM runtime, including runtimes embedded in application servers.

Technical ContextAI · show details
JSSE is Java's Secure Socket Extension, the API layer used for TLS/SSL and related secure communications in the JDK. The affected CPE entries are broad Oracle Corporation wildcard identifiers for oracle_java_se, oracle_graalvm_for_jdk, and oracle_graalvm_enterprise_edition, and they do not by themselves constrain version ranges; the affected builds are enumerated in Oracle's text and in ENISA EUVD-2026-109314. Oracle describes two distinct exploitation paths: services that pass attacker-supplied data into JSSE APIs, and sandboxed Java Web Start applications or applets that load and run untrusted code and rely on the Java sandbox. The root cause and exact trigger are not described in the available sources, and CWE is N/A; public tags include Authentication Bypass, but the supplied CVSS metrics and Oracle text describe confidentiality and integrity impact rather than a confirmed authentication-bypass mechanism. Reachability is the practical limiting factor because the vulnerable JSSE code path must actually be invoked on attacker-controlled input.

DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition product of Oracle Java SE (component: JSSE). Supported versions that are affected are Oracle Java SE: 8u511-b32, 8u511-perf-b32, 11.0.33.0.2, 17.0.21.0.2, 21.0.13.0.2, 25.0.5.0.2, 27.0.1.0.2; Oracle GraalVM for JDK: 17.0.21.0.2 and 21.0.13.0.2; Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition: 21.3.20.0.2. 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 creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or all Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition accessible data as well as unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all 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 9.1 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N).

Executive ViewAI
A critical-severity flaw in Oracle Java SE and GraalVM's JSSE (TLS/SSL) component allows remote, unauthenticated attackers to compromise affected systems with no user interaction required. Any application, middleware, or service built on the listed Java/GraalVM builds inherits this exposure, so the blast radius spans development and production estates organization-wide. Leadership should care because impact is severe with no vendor patch currently available, forcing reliance on mitigation until Oracle releases a fix.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: restrict network exposure of JSSE-dependent services, segment and monitor Java endpoints, strengthen TLS configuration and logging, and prepare rapid deployment of Oracle's forthcoming Critical Patch Update.
