CVE-2026-61308 is a difficult-to-exploit vulnerability in the Networking component of Oracle Java SE that also affects Oracle GraalVM for JDK and Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. Affected versions are Oracle Java SE 8u501, 11.0.32, 17.0.20, 21.0.12, 25.0.4, and 26.0.2; Oracle GraalVM for JDK 17.0.20 and 21.0.12; and Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition 21.3.19. The flaw is reachable by an unauthenticated attacker over HTTP and can be exploited through APIs in the affected component, including scenarios where a web service supplies attacker-controlled data to those APIs. The issue also applies to Java client deployments that execute untrusted code in sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets and rely on the Java sandbox for isolation. Successful exploitation can cross security boundaries and expose sensitive data accessible to the affected runtime or dependent products.
