- Vulnerability in the Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition product of Oracle Java SE
(component: JavaFX). Supported versions that are affected are Oracle Java SE: 8u391; Oracle GraalVM
Enterprise Edition: 20.3.12 and 21.3.8. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker
with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition executes to
compromise Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. Successful attacks require human interaction
from a person other than the attacker. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized
update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition 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). (CVE-2024-20922)
Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
