Remote data modification through undisclosed JNDI flaw
Published Oct 18, 2022 · Updated May 27, 2026
JNDI flaw in Oracle Java SE 8u341, 8u345-perf, 11.0.16.1, 17.0.4.1, and 19 allows remote attackers to alter accessible data. Oracle has not disclosed the faulty JNDI operation or how untrusted input reaches it. Exploitation requires high-complexity network access to a JNDI API, such as through a web service, or untrusted code in a sandboxed client, and is limited to updating, inserting, or deleting some accessible data.
