unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of the accessible data as well as
unauthorized read access to a subset of the 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.");
# nb: While the advisory starts with this:
#
# > The following vulnerabilities in OpenJDK source code were fixed in this release. The affected
# > versions are 23.0.1, 21.0.5, 17.0.13, 11.0.25, 8u432
#
# the "OpenJDK Risk matrix" part doesn't include 8.x. After consulting the vendor this seems to be
# expected as 8.x only included fixes for "defense-in-depth issues" without a CVE and the CVE here
# only affects versions starting from 11.x.
script_tag(name:"affected", value:"Oracle OpenJDK versions 11.x through 23.x.
Note: The vendor is only evaluating the affected status of supported versions but EOL versions
like 12.x or 18.x in between the affected versions are also assumed to be affected.");
