⚠️ UPDATE: ORACLE PULLS eMUDHRA AND COMODO AAA ROOTS FROM JAVA IN NEW SECURITY ALERT (CVE-2026-114820) Oracle issued a second eMudhra-related Security Alert on Oct 24, 2026. Its Oct 21 alert (CVE-2026-91403) distrusted the compromised intermediate CA certificates. The new update removes the root certificates themselves from the JDK cacerts keystore. * Removed: emSign ECC Root CA - G3, emSign Root CA - G1, emSign Root CA - G2 and Comodo's AAA Certificate Services (owned by Sectigo) * CVE-2026-114820, CVSS 3.1 9.1 (JSSE, network, no authentication) * Affected: Oracle Java SE 8u511-b32, 11.0.33.0.2, 17.0.21.0.2, 21.0.13.0.2, 25.0.5.0.2, 27.0.1.0.2; GraalVM for JDK 17/21; GraalVM EE 21.3.20.0.2 * Fixed: JDK 27.0.1.0.3, with matching .0.3 baselines for 25, 21, 17 and 11, and 8u511-b33 This is a cleanup step for the eMudhra incident DDW has covered since Oct 20, not a new breach, and no exploitation has been reported. Removing the Comodo root does not mean its key was compromised. If you only patched for the Oct 21 alert, update again, then test anything that still chains to these roots. Check other Java vendors' builds separately. https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/alert-cve-2026-114820.html #CyberSecurity #Java #PKI
