CVSS v3.1
Official Description
Opera 7.54 and earlier does not properly limit an applet's access to internal Java packages from Sun, which allows remote attackers to gain sensitive information, such as user names and the installation directory.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2004-1489 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
