CVE-2012-1533

85
FAUCET Score

CVE-2012-1533 is a critical vulnerability affecting the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) component in Oracle Java SE 7 Update 7 and 6 Update 35 and earlier versions, specifically involving the Deployment subsystem. With a maximum CVSS score of 10.0, this flaw allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via network vectors, potentially resulting in a complete compromise of system confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Although there is no recent community discussion or CISA KEV listing, the vulnerability presents a confirmed risk due to the availability of functional remote code execution exploits in Metasploit and ExploitDB targeting a double quote injection in Java Web Start.
