| 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 3.0 Base Score 4.7 (Confidentiality impacts).
| CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:N).
