Information disclosure through undisclosed JavaFX flaw
Published Feb 17, 2024 · Updated Nov 4, 2025
Information disclosure in JavaFX in Oracle Java SE 8u391 allows remote attackers to read a subset of accessible data. Oracle has not disclosed the specific JavaFX locus or the incorrect operation that exposes the data. Exploitation requires a user to run untrusted code in a sandboxed Java Web Start application or applet; trusted-code server deployments are not affected.
