17.0.10, 21.0.2, 22; Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition: 20.3.13 and 21.3.9. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition accessible data. Note: This vulnerability can be exploited by using APIs in the specified Component, e.g., through a web service which supplies data to the APIs. This vulnerability also applies to Java deployments, typically in clients running sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets, that load and run untrusted code (e.g., code that comes from the internet) and rely on the Java sandbox for security. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 3.7 (Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N).

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Information flow enforcement can block untrusted data from being accepted or processed as if it were trusted.
Input validation directly stops acceptance of untrusted data mixed into trusted inputs.
Associating security attributes with data allows the system to distinguish and reject extraneous untrusted portions.
Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Secure SDLC practices directly address proper trust-boundary enforcement and input validation, preventing this class of weakness during development.
Cryptographic integrity checks on data-at-rest can detect tampering or substitution of untrusted content mixed with trusted data.
Cryptographic integrity mechanisms on data-in-transit can prevent acceptance of extraneous untrusted data by validating origin and detecting modification.
Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Security testing can detect the weakness but does not itself implement preventive controls.
Secure development lifecycle mandates input validation and trust-boundary enforcement that directly prevents acceptance of untrusted data alongside trusted data.
Application security requirements explicitly call for strict separation and validation of trusted versus untrusted data sources.
Secure architecture principles require explicit trust boundaries and data-origin checks that mitigate mixing of trusted and untrusted inputs.
Secure coding standards mandate input sanitization and provenance checks that prevent acceptance of extraneous untrusted data.
Information access restriction limits who can supply data but does not address validation of data origin or trust level.
