DescriptionCVE.org

Vulnerability in Oracle Java SE (component: JSSE). Supported versions that are affected are Oracle Java SE: 8u491, 8u491-perf, 11.0.31, 17.0.19, 21.0.11, 25.0.3, 26.0.1; Oracle GraalVM for JDK: 17.0.19 and 21.0.11; Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition: 21.3.18. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via TLS to compromise Oracle Java SE. 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 only be exploited by supplying data to APIs in the specified Component without using Untrusted Java Web Start applications or Untrusted Java applets, such as through a web service. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 5.9 (Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N).

AnalysisAI

Integrity compromise via TLS in Oracle Java SE's JSSE component allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to perform unauthorized creation, deletion, or modification of critical application data across seven affected Java SE releases and three GraalVM variants. The attack targets the TLS stack directly - not through applets or Web Start - and is tagged as an authentication bypass, suggesting the flaw undermines TLS-level authentication controls within JSSE. No public exploit code and no CISA KEV listing have been identified at time of analysis; the AC:H metric constrains real-world risk to adversaries capable of achieving precise network positioning or TLS session manipulation.

Technical ContextAI

JSSE (Java Secure Socket Extension) is Oracle's Java framework implementing TLS and SSL, responsible for handshake negotiation, certificate chain validation, cipher suite selection, and secure channel establishment. It underpins any Java application using HTTPS, LDAPS, or other TLS-wrapped protocols. The 'Authentication Bypass' tag strongly suggests the flaw lies in JSSE's certificate or session authentication logic - for example, improper validation of peer certificates during the TLS handshake, or a flaw in mutual TLS enforcement - permitting an attacker to inject or alter data as if authenticated. CWE is listed as N/A by NVD, leaving the precise root cause class (e.g., CWE-295 Improper Certificate Validation, CWE-287 Improper Authentication) unconfirmed. Affected CPE: cpe:2.3:a:oracle_corporation:oracle_java_se across the LTS train (Java 8, 11, 17, 21) and the current releases (25, 26), as well as GraalVM for JDK and GraalVM Enterprise Edition which share the same JSSE implementation.

RemediationAI

Apply the patches published in Oracle's July 2026 Critical Patch Update (CPU), available at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html. Exact patched version numbers are not independently specified in the available data beyond the advisory; consult the CPU directly for the specific target versions for each Java SE and GraalVM release train. For GraalVM for JDK 17.0.19 and 21.0.11, and GraalVM Enterprise Edition 21.3.18, apply the corresponding CPU patches. Where patching must be deferred, consider the following specific compensating controls: restrict TLS-facing Java services to network segments where MITM interception is not feasible (e.g., enforce network segmentation, disable traffic routing through untrusted intermediaries); enforce strict mutual TLS (mTLS) with certificate pinning where supported by the application layer, which may limit the impact of JSSE-level authentication bypass; and monitor TLS handshake anomalies via network inspection tooling. These controls reduce exposure but do not eliminate the vulnerability - patching remains the definitive fix.
