Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 15 Jul 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Red Hat has released an updated package java-1.8.0-ibm version 1.8.0.8.50-1.el8_10 that addresses these vulnerabilities. Users should apply this update to their Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 systems. Before applying the update, ensure all previously released errata relevant to the system have been applied. Detailed update instructions are available at Red Hat's official documentation. There is no indication that the vulnerabilities are already mitigated or require no action; therefore, applying the update is the recommended remediation.

Description

IBM Java SE version 8 includes the IBM Java Runtime Environment and the IBM Java Software Development Kit. This update upgrades IBM Java SE 8 to version 8 SR8-FP50. Security Fix(es): * CVE-2025-30749 * CVE-2025-30754 * CVE-2025-30761 * CVE-2025-50106 For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Impact

The vulnerabilities fixed in this update affect the IBM Java Runtime Environment and Software Development Kit included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8. The issues could potentially lead to security risks related to buffer overflows and cryptographic weaknesses. The advisory does not report any known exploits in the wild. The security impact is rated as Important, indicating a high risk that could affect confidentiality, integrity, or availability if exploited.

Summary

The security advisory RHSA-2025:13675 from Red Hat addresses multiple vulnerabilities in IBM Java SE 8 as packaged in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8. The update upgrades the java-1.8.0-ibm package to version 8 SR8-FP50, which includes fixes for CVE-2025-30749, CVE-2025-30754, CVE-2025-30761, and CVE-2025-50106. These vulnerabilities are associated with CWE-122 (Heap-based Buffer Overflow) and CWE-325 (Missing Required Cryptographic Step). No CVSS base scores are provided in the advisory, but Red Hat rates the overall security impact as Important. The advisory recommends applying this update after ensuring all previous errata are applied.

CWE-122Heap-based Buffer Overflow (opens in a new tab)
Variant weaknessLikelihood of exploit: HighCWE Top 25 (2025): #16
A heap overflow condition is a buffer overflow, where the buffer that can be overwritten is allocated in the heap portion of memory, generally meaning that the buffer was allocated using a routine such as malloc().
Pre-design: Use a language or compiler that performs automatic bounds checking.
Architecture and Design
Use an abstraction library to abstract away risky APIs. Not a complete solution.
Operation · Build and Compilation · Environment Hardening
Use automatic buffer overflow detection mechanisms that are offered by certain compilers or compiler extensions. Examples include: the Microsoft Visual Studio /GS flag, Fedora/Red Hat FORTIFY_SOURCE GCC flag, StackGuard, and ProPolice, which provide various mechanisms including canary-based detection and range/index…
