CVE-2005-3906

NVD-CWE-noinfoPublished: November 30, 2005· Updated: Jun 16, 2026

7.5

CVSS v3.1

Official Description

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in reflection APIs in Java SDK and JRE 1.4.2_08 and earlier and JDK and JRE 5.0 Update 3 and earlier allow remote attackers to escape the Java sandbox and access arbitrary files or execute arbitrary applications via unknown attack vectors, a different set of vulnerabilities than CVE-2005-3905. NOTE: this is associated with the "second and third issues" identified in SUNALERT:102003.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2005-3906 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.
