Date Published: 2023-09-26

QID 106117: EOL/Obsolete Software: Oracle Java Standard Edition (SE) Java Runtime Environment (JRE) Java Development Kit (JDK) 7 (1.7) Detected

Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE) lets you develop and deploy Java applications on desktops, servers, and embedded environments, while offering user interface, performance, versatility, portability, and security that applications require. Java Runtime Environment (JRE) allows you to run Java applications and applets. To develop Java applications and applets, you need the Java Development Kit (JDK), which includes the JRE.

Starting July 2022, Oracle will no longer post updates of Java SE 7 to its public download sites as it has reached end of life support. Existing Java SE 7/1.7 downloads already posted as of July 2022 will remain accessible in the Java Archive on Oracle Technology Network.

Developers and end-users are encouraged to update to more recent Java SE versions that remain available for public download.

Note:
Oracle offers updates to Java 7 only for customers who have purchased Java support or have Oracle products that require Java 7, but no public updates.

The system is at high risk of being exposed to security vulnerabilities. Since the vendor no longer provides updates, obsolete software is highly prone to vulnerabilities.

CVSS V3 rated as Critical - 9.8 severity.

CVSS V2 rated as Critical - 10 severity.

Solution

Users are advised to upgrade to latest supported version of Java SE from the Java SE Downloads web page.
