CVE-2013-1537

38
FAUCET Score

CVE-2013-1537 is an unspecified vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) component across Oracle Java SE (versions 7u17 and earlier, 6u43 and earlier, 5u41 and earlier) and OpenJDK (versions 6 and 7), specifically impacting RMI. This critical vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 10.0, indicating that an unauthenticated remote attacker can achieve complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability with low attack complexity. While Oracle has not officially confirmed, other vendors suggest it relates to the default 'java.rmi.server.useCodebaseOnly' setting, enabling remote code execution via dynamic class downloading. There is no evidence of active exploitation, publicly available exploit code in Metasploit or ExploitDB, or Nuclei templates, though it garnered some community discussion and media coverage at the time of its disclosure.
