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.

What to do

Upgrade the Red Hat redhat/java-1.8.0-openjdk package to 9.2 or 8.8.

AI-suggested

A security update is available and should be applied to affected systems. The update is included in Red Hat Advisory RHSA-2025:18815. Before applying this update, ensure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied. For systems running RHEL 8.2 where the default FIPS mode behavior is undesired, the previous behavior can be restored by setting the Java option -Dcom.redhat.fips=false. Refer to the vendor advisory for detailed update instructions.

Description

A security update for the java-1.8.0-openjdk packages addresses vulnerabilities related to path factories (CVE-2025-53066) and certificate handling (CVE-2025-53057). These packages provide the OpenJDK 8 Java Runtime Environment and Software Development Kit. The update also includes bug fixes related to FIPS mode behavior on certain Red Hat Enterprise Linux releases. The update is rated as having a moderate security impact.

Impact

The vulnerabilities addressed affect the security of Java runtime and development environments by improving handling of path factories and certificates, which could potentially prevent exploitation of related weaknesses. The update also impacts cryptographic compliance by enabling FIPS mode by default on certain systems. The overall security impact is rated as moderate by Red Hat.

Summary

The java-1.8.0-openjdk packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux have been updated to fix two security issues: CVE-2025-53066, which enhances path factories, and CVE-2025-53057, which improves certificate handling. Additionally, the update consolidates builds across multiple Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions and changes the default enabling of OpenJDK's FIPS mode on RHEL 8.2 systems when the system is in FIPS mode. The update is part of Red Hat's security advisory RHSA-2025:18815 and is applicable to multiple RHEL 8 and 9 versions and architectures.

CWE-838Inappropriate Encoding for Output Context (opens in a new tab)
Base weakness
The product uses or specifies an encoding when generating output to a downstream component, but the specified encoding is not the same as the encoding that is expected by the downstream component.
Implementation · Output Encoding
Use context-aware encoding. That is, understand which encoding is being used by the downstream component, and ensure that this encoding is used. If an encoding can be specified, do so, instead of assuming that the default encoding is the same as the default being assumed by the downstream component.
Architecture and Design · Output Encoding
Where possible, use communications protocols or data formats that provide strict boundaries between control and data. If this is not feasible, ensure that the protocols or formats allow the communicating components to explicitly state which encoding/decoding method is being used.
Architecture and Design · Libraries or Frameworks
Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
