CVE-2009-1672

Status: ModifiedHigh (9.3)—💥 Exploit

The Deployment Toolkit ActiveX control in deploytk.dll 6.0.130.3 in Sun Java SE Runtime Environment (aka JRE) 6 Update 13 allows remote attackers to (1) execute arbitrary code via a .jnlp URL in the argument to the launch method, and might allow remote attackers to launch JRE installation processes via the (2) installLatestJRE or (3) installJRE method.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

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).

💥 Public exploits

Exploit code or detection templates are publicly available. This is not the same as confirmed active exploitation (KEV), but it raises the risk: patch with priority.
