What it is: CVE-2025-61748 is a low-severity missing authorization vulnerability in Oracle Graalvm, published on 21 Oct 2025. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim. Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-61748 in the wild and no public exploit code. Affected packages and fixed versions: - java (Bitnami): affected from 18.0.0; fixed in 21.0.9, 25.0.1 - java-min (Bitnami): affected from 18.0.0; fixed in 21.0.9, 25.0.1 - jre (Bitnami): affected from 18.0.0; fixed in 21.0.9, 25.0.1 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.
