CVE-2020-14797

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Java SE versions 7u271, 8u261, 11.0.8, and 15 Java SE Embedded version 8u261

Description The issue is related to insufficient input validation in the Libraries component of Java SE and Java SE Embedded, allowing an unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise the system. Successful attacks can result in unauthorized update, insert, or delete access to some accessible data. This can be exploited through sandboxed Java Web Start applications, sandboxed Java applets, or by supplying data to APIs in the specified component.

Recommendations For Java SE versions 7u271, 8u261, 11.0.8, and 15, consider disabling the use of the Libraries component until a patch is available. For Java SE Embedded version 8u261, restrict access to the Libraries component to minimize the risk of exploitation. As a temporary workaround, avoid using APIs in the specified component without proper input validation until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
