CVE-2008-0657

Status: ModifiedHigh (10)—
Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the Java Runtime Environment in Sun JDK and JRE 6 Update 1 and earlier, and 5.0 Update 13 and earlier, allow context-dependent attackers to gain privileges via an untrusted (1) application or (2) applet, as demonstrated by an application or applet that grants itself privileges to (a) read local files, (b) write to local files, or (c) execute local programs.
CVSS

Version: 2.0
Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
Base score: 10
Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 2.84%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 86
Score date: 10/13/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
