CVE-2024-21002

User-assisted modification of sandbox-accessible data

Published Apr 16, 2024 · Updated Feb 13, 2025

JavaFX in Oracle Java SE 8u401 allows local users to modify some accessible data after a victim runs untrusted sandboxed code. Oracle has not published the affected JavaFX locus or the operation it performs incorrectly on untrusted input. Exploitation requires host logon and another person's interaction in a client deployment that loads untrusted code and relies on the Java sandbox; trusted-code-only server deployments are unaffected.
