Unauthenticated partial service interruption
Published Jul 21, 2026 · Updated Jul 21, 2026
Resource exhaustion in JavaFX in Oracle Java SE 8u491 allows remote attackers to cause a partial service interruption via multiple protocols. Oracle has not disclosed the affected JavaFX API or the operation that consumes resources without a limit or throttle. Exposure requires an application or web service to pass untrusted data to JavaFX APIs, or a sandboxed Java Web Start application or applet to load untrusted code.
