Oracle · Oracle Java Se · CVE-2023-21968
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Oracle Java SE versions 8u361, 8u361-perf, 11.0.18, 17.0.6, 20
Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition versions 20.3.9, 21.3.5, 22.3.1
**Description**
The issue allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Oracle Java SE and Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. Successful attacks can result in unauthorized update, insert, or delete access to some accessible data. This applies to Java deployments that load and run untrusted code and rely on the Java sandbox for security. The vulnerability can also be exploited by using APIs in the specified component, for example, through a web service that supplies data to the APIs.
**Recommendations**
For Oracle Java SE versions 8u361, 8u361-perf, 11.0.18, 17.0.6, 20, and Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition versions 20.3.9, 21.3.5, 22.3.1, consider disabling the use of APIs in the Libraries component as a temporary workaround until a patch is available.
Restrict access to the Libraries component to minimize the risk of exploitation.
Avoid using the affected Oracle Java SE and Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition versions until a fix is provided.
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
