Unspecified vulnerability in scripting language support in Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) in JDK and JRE 6 Update 6 and earlier allows context-dependent attackers to gain privileges via an untrusted (1) application or (2) applet, as demonstrated by an application or applet that grants itself privileges to (a) read local files, (b) write to local files, or (c) execute local programs.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This old Java flaw let an untrusted Java applet or application grant itself extra permissions. In practical business terms, a user running vulnerable Java could have local files read or changed, or local programs executed, outside the intended Java sandbox. Exposure is most likely in legacy endpoints, servers, appliances, or packaged products still running Sun Java JDK/JRE 6 Update 6 or earlier, especially where browser applets or untrusted Java applications can execute. Treat as high priority only where legacy Java remains. The business risk is strong because the described impact crosses the Java sandbox into local file access and program execution, but modern environments without old Java are unlikely to be exposed. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems for Sun JDK/JRE 6 Update 6 or earlier.; Upgrade affected Java runtimes according to vendor guidance.; Remove obsolete Java browser plugin or applet execution paths where possible..
