Summary
Oracle Java SE versions 21.0.12.1, 25.0.4.1 and 27 are affected. Improper access control (CWE-284) in the Compiler component lets an unauthenticated remote attacker with network access affect Java SE by supplying data to its APIs, such as through a web service. Successful attacks can update, insert or delete some accessible data and read a subset of it. The attack is difficult to carry out.
