FAUCET Score

CVE-2019-2996 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting Oracle Java SE and Java SE Embedded (versions 8u221), specifically within the Deployment component. It allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access to compromise client-side Java deployments that run untrusted code, such as sandboxed Java Web Start applications or applets. Successful exploitation requires human interaction and can lead to unauthorized read, update, insert, or delete access to a subset of the affected system's data. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.0 Base Score of 4.2, indicating a low impact on confidentiality and integrity. Its attack complexity is high, and user interaction is required, making it difficult to exploit.
