The version of java-1.8.0-amazon-corretto installed on the remote host is prior to 1.8.0_402.b08-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2CORRETTO8-2024-010 advisory.

    A vulnerability that allows an attacker to execute arbitrary java code from the javascript engine even     though the option --no-java was set. (CVE-2024-20918)

    With carefully crafted custom bytecodes, arbitrary unverified bytecodes could be executed.
    (CVE-2024-20919)

    Loop optimizations are not correct when induction variable overflows (CVE-2024-20921)

    Vulnerability in the Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition product of     Oracle Java SE (component: Scripting).  Supported versions that are affected are Oracle Java SE: 8u391,     8u391-perf, 11.0.21; Oracle GraalVM for JDK: 17.0.9; Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition: 20.3.12, 21.3.8     and  22.3.4. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via     multiple protocols to compromise Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise     Edition.  Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in  unauthorized access to critical data or     complete access to all Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition     accessible data. Note: This vulnerability can be exploited by using APIs in the specified Component, e.g.,     through a web service which supplies data to the APIs. This vulnerability also applies to Java     deployments, typically in clients running sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets,     that load and run untrusted code (e.g., code that comes from the internet) and rely on the Java sandbox     for security. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 5.9 (Confidentiality impacts).  CVSS Vector:
    (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N). (CVE-2024-20926)

    Crypto key may be leaked via debug logging in some cases (CVE-2024-20945)

    Vulnerability in the Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition product of     Oracle Java SE (component: Security).  Supported versions that are affected are Oracle Java SE: 8u391,     8u391-perf, 11.0.21, 17.0.9, 21.0.1; Oracle GraalVM for JDK: 17.0.9, 21.0.1; Oracle GraalVM Enterprise     Edition: 20.3.12, 21.3.8 and  22.3.4. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker     with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle     GraalVM Enterprise Edition.  Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in  unauthorized     creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or all Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK,     Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition accessible data as well as  unauthorized access to critical data or     complete access to all Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition     accessible data. Note: This vulnerability applies to Java deployments, typically in clients running     sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets, that load and run untrusted code (e.g.,     code that comes from the internet) and rely on the Java sandbox for security. This vulnerability does not     apply to Java deployments, typically in servers, that load and run only trusted code (e.g., code installed     by an administrator). CVSS 3.1 Base Score 7.4 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts).  CVSS Vector:
    (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N). (CVE-2024-20952)
