CVE-2018-2627: Vulnerability in the Java SE component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: Installer).

Vulnerability in the Java SE component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: Installer). Supported versions that are affected are Java SE: 8u152 and 9.0.1. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Java SE executes to compromise Java SE. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and while the vulnerability is in Java SE, attacks may significantly impact additional products. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Java SE. Note: This vulnerability applies to the Windows installer only. CVSS 3.0 Base Score 7.5 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H).

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2018-2627 is a high-severity Oracle Java SE Windows installer vulnerability affecting Java SE 8u152 and 9.0.1. It could let a logged-in low-privileged attacker compromise Java SE if another user interacts with the attack path. The issue is legacy, but retained installers or bundled Java remain the main concern. Exposure is most likely on Windows systems with Oracle Java SE 8u152 or 9.0.1, legacy installer media, or third-party products bundling affected Java components. The bundle references Oracle, NetApp, Schneider Electric EcoStruxure IT, and Red Hat advisories, but does not enumerate all downstream affected products. Prioritize remediation where legacy Java is still deployed or packaged for Windows endpoints. This is not presented as internet-exploitable or actively exploited, but the potential impact is complete compromise of Java SE, so unmanaged legacy installer exposure should be closed during normal vulnerability remediation cycles. Mitigation focus: Apply Oracle Java SE updates from the January 2018 Critical Patch Update or later vendor guidance.; Follow downstream vendor advisories for products bundling Java, including NetApp, Red Hat, and Schneider where applicable.; Remove or quarantine affected Windows Java installer packages from software shares and endpoint caches..
