14
FAUCET Score

CVE-2020-2755 is a low-severity vulnerability affecting Oracle Java SE and Java SE Embedded versions 8u241, 11.0.6, and 14, specifically within the Scripting component. This difficult-to-exploit vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access to cause a partial denial of service (DoS).
