CVE-2026-46968: Vulnerability in Oracle Java SE (component: JSSE).

MediumCVSS 5.9 · v3.1—No exploit Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 23/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.29% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. Special conditions such as timing or configuration are required.
  • Fixed version: java-21-openjdk (AlmaLinux:10) 1:21.0.12.0.8-1.2.el10_2.alma.2; java-21-openjdk-demo (AlmaLinux:10) 1:21.0.12.0.8-1.2.el10_2.alma.2; java-21-openjdk-demo-fastdebug (AlmaLinux:10) 1:21.0.12.0.8-1.2.el10_2.alma.2.
  • Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).

Low priority for now. Upgrade to java-21-openjdk (AlmaLinux:10) 1:21.0.12.0.8-1.2.el10_2.alma.2; java-21-openjdk-demo (AlmaLinux:10) 1:21.0.12.0.8-1.2.el10_2.alma.2; java-21-openjdk-demo-fastdebug (AlmaLinux:10) 1:21.0.12.0.8-1.2.el10_2.alma.2 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

Vulnerability in Oracle Java SE (component: JSSE). Supported versions that are affected are Oracle Java SE: 8u491, 8u491-perf, 11.0.31, 17.0.19, 21.0.11, 25.0.3, 26.0.1; Oracle GraalVM for JDK: 17.0.19 and 21.0.11; Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition: 21.3.18. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via TLS to compromise Oracle Java SE. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or all Oracle Java SE accessible data. Note: This vulnerability can only be exploited by supplying data to APIs in the specified Component without using Untrusted Java Web Start applications or Untrusted Java applets, such as through a web service. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 5.9 (Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N).
