## What is CVE-2026-22008?

CVE-2026-22008 is a low-severity vulnerability in Oracle Jdk, published on 21 Apr 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

Vulnerability in Oracle Java SE (component: Libraries).   The supported version that is affected is Oracle Java SE: 25.0.1. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Oracle Java SE.  Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in  unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle Java SE accessible data. 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 3.7 (Integrity impacts).  CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N).

Weakness: CWE-250 (Execution with Unnecessary Privileges)

Check this codebase for CVE-2026-22008 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2026-22008 is a low-severity vulnerability in Oracle Jdk, published on 21 Apr 2026. 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-2026-22008 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected packages and fixed versions:
- java (Bitnami): affected from 22.0.0; fixed in 25.0.2
- java-min (Bitnami): affected from 22.0.0; fixed in 25.0.2
- jre (Bitnami): affected from 22.0.0; fixed in 25.0.2

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.
