Data modification via undisclosed JavaFX flaw
Published Jan 16, 2024 · Updated Jun 2, 2025
Integrity failure in JavaFX in Oracle Java SE 8u391 allows local users to modify Java-accessible data through untrusted sandboxed code. Oracle has not disclosed the JavaFX code locus or the operation that mishandles untrusted input. Exploitation requires a user to run untrusted Java Web Start or applet code in a client deployment that relies on the Java sandbox; trusted-code server deployments are excluded.
