    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. 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-2024-20932)
