Unauthenticated takeover through undisclosed compiler flaw
Published Sep 15, 2026 · Updated Sep 15, 2026
Compiler flaw in Oracle GraalVM for JDK 17 23.0.13.1 and JDK 21 23.1.12.1 allows remote attackers to take over the runtime via HTTP. Oracle identifies the affected locus only as the Compiler component and has not published the incorrect operation it performs on untrusted HTTP input. Exploitation requires no credentials or user interaction, but has high attack complexity and compromises confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
