Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Vulnerability in the Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition product of Oracle Java SE (component: Hotspot). Supported versions that are affected are Oracle Java SE: 8u411, 8u411-perf, 11.0.23, 17.0.11, 21.0.3, 22.0.1; Oracle GraalVM for JDK: 17.0.11, 21.0.3, 22.0.1; Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition: 20.3.14 and 21.3.10. 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 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 7.4 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N).

dbcve analysis · high confidence

Vulnerability in the Hotspot component of Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, and Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. Difficult to exploit flaw allows unauthenticated attackers with network access via multiple protocols to compromise affected systems, resulting in unauthorized creation, deletion, or modification of critical data, as well as unauthorized access to critical or all accessible data.

MitigationApply the Oracle security patches for the affected versions (Java SE 8u411+, 11.0.23+, 17.0.11+, 21.0.3+, 22.0.1; GraalVM for JDK 17.0.11+, 21.0.3+, 22.0.1; GraalVM Enterprise Edition 20.3.14+, 21.3.10+). For client-side deployments, ensure Java Web Start applications and applets run in sandboxed mode.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify installed Java or JDK version
    Run 'java -version' or 'java -fullversion' from command line. For Oracle JDK, also check $JAVA_HOME/release file for the version string.
    Affected if The version matches any of these: JDK 1.8.0, 11.0.23, 17.0.11, 21.0.3, 22.0.1 (exact versions only)
  2. Identify installed Oracle GraalVM version
    Run 'graalvm --version' or check the graalvm directory for the version file. On Linux/Unix, common path is /opt/graalvm/
    Affected if The version matches any of these: GraalVM 20.3.14, 21.3.10; GraalVM for JDK 17.0.11, 21.0.3, 22.0.1 (exact versions only)
  3. Check for NetApp product installations
    Identify if any NetApp products are installed: Active IQ Unified Manager, BlueXP, Data Infrastructure Insights Storage Workload Security Agent, OnCommand Insight, or OnCommand Workflow Automation. Check product-specific paths or use system inventory tools.
    Affected if Any of these NetApp products are installed (they are affected at all versions)
  4. Determine if Java is network-accessible
    Review network configuration to check if the Java process or application is exposed to network protocols (RMI, IIOP, JNDI, LDAP, HTTP). Check firewall rules and listening ports related to Java applications.
    Affected if The Java runtime or application is accessible over network (required for exploitation)
  5. Verify Hotspot JVM is in use
    Confirm the Java installation uses the Hotspot JVM. Most Oracle JDK and OpenJDK distributions use Hotspot. Run 'java -version' and look for 'HotSpot' in the output, or check with 'java -XshowSettings:all'
    Affected if The JVM in use is Hotspot (this is the vulnerable component)
  6. Check product-specific Java bundling for NetApp
    For NetApp products, locate the bundled JRE or JDK. Common paths include /opt/netapp/ directories or product installation folders. Check for a 'jre' or 'jdk' subdirectory and run java -version from there.
    Affected if A NetApp product with bundled Java is installed and the bundled Java version is one of the affected versions or unknown

You are affected if you run any of the exact Oracle JDK versions (1.8.0, 11.0.23, 17.0.11, 21.0.3, 22.0.1), Oracle GraalVM versions (20.3.14, 21.3.10), GraalVM for JDK (17.0.11, 21.0.3, 22.0.1), or any NetApp product listed, AND your system is network-accessible.

Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Apply the Oracle security patches for the affected versions (Java SE 8u411+, 11.0.23+, 17.0.11+, 21.0.3+, 22.0.1; GraalVM for JDK 17.0.11+, 21.0.3+, 22.0.1; GraalVM Enterprise Edition 20.3.14+, 21.3.10+). For client-side deployments, ensure Java Web Start applications and applets run in sandboxed mode.

Recommended fix High confidence

Oracle Java SE 8u421+/11.0.24+/17.0.13+/21.0.5+/22.0.3+, GraalVM for JDK 17.0.13+/21.0.5+/22.0.3+, or GraalVM Enterprise Edition 20.3.16+/21.3.12+

  1. 1. Identify current Java/JDK version by running 'java -version' or checking the installation directory
  2. 2. For standalone Java SE: Download Oracle Java SE 8u421+, 11.0.24+, 17.0.13+, 21.0.5+, or 22.0.3+ from official Oracle distribution
  3. 3. For GraalVM for JDK: Download version 17.0.13+, 21.0.5+, or 22.0.3+ from https://www.graalvm.org/downloads/
  4. 4. For GraalVM Enterprise Edition: Upgrade to 20.3.16+ or 21.3.12+ from Oracle support
  5. 5. For NetApp products (Active IQ Unified Manager, BlueXP, etc.): Apply vendor patches from security.netapp.com that address this CVE - NetApp releases patches for bundled Java versions
  6. 6. Verify upgrade was successful by running 'java -version' and confirming the new version is installed
  7. 7. Restart any services or applications using the old Java version
Caveat Major version upgrades (e.g., Java 8 to 17) may require code changes for compatibility; test thoroughly before production deployment
