# CVE-2020-14664: Code injection in Java > Unauthenticated attackers can execute arbitrary code and take over Java SE via JavaFX, requiring user interaction in client-side deployments. - **Severity:** High 8.3 (`CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H`) - **Exploited in the wild:** Not known - **Login needed:** Not needed - **Attackable:** Over the internet - **Victim action needed:** A user has to click or open something - **Fix available:** Yes - **Published:** 15 Jul 2020 - **Updated:** 27 Sep 2024 - **Also known as:** BIT-java-2020-14664, BIT-java-min-2020-14664, BIT-jre-2020-14664, DEBIAN-CVE-2020-14664, GHSA-cfp9-cx5p-7jfp, MINI-phm9-7qg3-v63q, UBUNTU-CVE-2020-14664, openSUSE-SU-2024:11119-1 ## What is CVE-2020-14664? CVE-2020-14664 is a high-severity code injection vulnerability in Netapp 7-Mode Transition Tool, published on 15 Jul 2020. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link. ### Official description Vulnerability in the Java SE product of Oracle Java SE (component: JavaFX). The supported version that is affected is Java SE: 8u251. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Java SE. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and while the vulnerability is in Java SE, attacks may significantly impact additional products. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Java SE. Note: This vulnerability applies to Java deployments, typically in clients running sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets, that load and run untrusted code (e.g., code that comes from the internet) and rely on the Java sandbox for security. This vulnerability does not apply to Java deployments, typically in servers, that load and run only trusted code (e.g., code installed by an administrator). CVSS 3.1 Base Score 8.3 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H). ## Which versions are affected by CVE-2020-14664? 3 open source packages ship an affected version, including java, java-min and jre.

What it is: CVE-2020-14664 is a high-severity code injection vulnerability in Netapp 7-Mode Transition Tool, published on 15 Jul 2020. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link. Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-14664 in the wild and no public exploit code. Affected packages and fixed versions: - java (Bitnami): affected all versions; fixed in 1.8.0, 8.0.261 - java-min (Bitnami): affected all versions; fixed in 1.8.0, 8.0.261 - jre (Bitnami): affected all versions; fixed in 1.8.0, 8.0.261 Task: 1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies. 2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it. 3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead. 4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why. 5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
