CVE-2018-2825: Vulnerability in the Java SE component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: Libraries).

Vulnerability in the Java SE component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: Libraries). The supported version that is affected is Java SE: 10. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols 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 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. This vulnerability does not apply to Java deployments, typically in servers, that load and run only trusted code (e.g., code installed by an administrator). CVSS 3.0 Base Score 8.3 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H).

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a high-severity Oracle Java SE 10 sandbox-related issue. A successful attack could let malicious untrusted Java code take over Java SE, but it requires user interaction and is described as difficult to exploit. The main business concern is legacy client-side Java use, not typical server-side Java running administrator-installed trusted code. Exposure is most likely where Java SE 10 clients run untrusted sandboxed Java content from the internet. The CVE text explicitly excludes typical server deployments that run only trusted administrator-installed code. Downstream products may be affected if they bundle or depend on vulnerable Java components. Treat this as a targeted legacy-client risk. It is not described as broadly wormable or actively exploited in the supplied sources, but the potential impact is full Java SE compromise. Prioritize environments that still rely on sandboxed Java applets or Web Start. Mitigation focus: Identify and retire Java SE 10 client deployments that run untrusted applets or Web Start applications.; Review Oracle April 2018 CPU guidance for the applicable fixed Java builds.; Apply downstream vendor updates where Java is bundled, including Ubuntu, NetApp, or EcoStruxure guidance where relevant..
