  - Vulnerability in the Java SE product of Oracle Java SE (component: JavaFX). The supported version that is
    affected is Java SE: 8u231. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with
    network access via multiple protocols to compromise Java SE. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can
    result in unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or all Java SE
    accessible data. Note: This vulnerability applies to Java deployments, typically in clients running
    sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets (in Java SE 8), that load and run
    untrusted code (e.g., code that comes from the internet) and rely on the Java sandbox for security. This
    vulnerability can also be exploited by using APIs in the specified Component, e.g., through a web service
    which supplies data to the APIs. (CVE-2020-2585)
