NOTE: the previous information is from the April 2013 CPU. Oracle has not commented on claims from another vendor that this issue is related to invocation of the system class loader by the sun.awt.datatransfer.ClassLoaderObjectInputStream class, which allows remote attackers to bypass Java sandbox restrictions.","published":"2013-03-08T18:55:02.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-16T23:49:22.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"secalert_us@oracle.com","cvss":{"version":"2.0","score":10,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C"},"cwe":["CWE-94"],"affected":["oracle/jdk","oracle/jre"],"epss":{"score":0.10342,"percentile":0.95726,"date":"2026-11-04","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"urgent","text":"EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 10.3%, higher than 96% of all known CVEs.
