`CVE-2018-2811`

7.7 High Out of RASP scope

Description

Vulnerability in the Java SE component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: Install). Supported versions that are affected are Java SE: 8u162 and 10. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Java SE executes 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: Applies to installation process on client deployment of Java. CVSS 3.0 Base Score 7.7 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H).

Waratek Defense Posture

Out of RASP scope

A genuine Java vulnerability in a supported product that the agent cannot reach: a coverage gap, not an out-of-domain finding.

Protection none
Action not-needed none

CVSS

7.7 HIGH v3.1 CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H 2 metrics

VRT selects the newest version's highest entry and publishes it as cvssScore, newest rather than largest because scores are not comparable across versions, and highest rather than first because the first entry is frequently a CNA placeholder scoring 0.0 over NVD's own analysis.

# Rule Outcome Status Detail

identity: Does this identifier describe a vulnerability at all? first match wins

1 rejected no-match CVE Program withdrawal of this identifier

scope: Is the vulnerability ARMR's to address? first match wins

2 armr-patch-file no-match An ARMR patch file on disk for this CVE

3 armr-secure-rule-file no-match An ARMR security-rule template on disk for this CVE

4 manual-classification no-match A researcher's recorded decision for this specific CVE

5 manual classification withheld Historical environment classification superseded by the dedicated java-se-install component rule

6 non-java-upstream no-match A root cause in non-Java code: an OS kernel, a C library, or a bundled runtime
