CVE-2026-47057Network attack vector

Unauthenticated runtime hang or repeatable crash

Published Jul 21, 2026 · Updated Jul 21, 2026

Denial of service in Oracle Java SE Scripting 8u491, 8u491-perf, and 11.0.31 allows remote attackers to hang or crash the runtime. Oracle has not disclosed the vulnerable Scripting API, the faulty operation, or the input pattern that triggers resource exhaustion. Reachability requires a service that supplies untrusted data to the affected APIs or a sandboxed Java deployment that loads untrusted code.
