Oracle warned Apple customers to delay installing the latest macOS 14.4 Sonoma update because it will break Java on ARM-based Macs. According to Garcia-Ribeyro, since the Java Virtual Machine uses dynamic code generation and accesses memory in protected memory regions to ensure correctness and performance, its process will be terminated after deploying the macOS 14.4 update.
The 8220 gang has been leveraging an old Oracle WebLogic Server vulnerability to distribute malware, the Imperva Threat Research team has found. Active since 2017, the 8220 gang has been known for deploying cryptocurrency miners on Linux and Windows hosts by exploiting known vulnerabilities.

The U.S. Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency has added to its catalog of known exploited vulnerabilities three security issues that affect Microsoft devices, a Sophos product, and an enterprise solution from Oracle. The KEV catalog contains flaws confirmed to be exploited by hackers in attacks and serves as a repository for vulnerabilities that companies all over should treat with priority.
TikTok, the social video platform used by around 150 million people in the US, is set to hand access to its source code, algorithm and content-moderation material to Oracle in a bid to allay data protection and national security concerns stateside.

A recently patched vulnerability in Oracle Opera, a property management system widely used in large hotel and resort chains, is more critical than Oracle says it is and could be easily exploited by unauthenticated remote attackers to access sensitive information, a group of researchers has warned. Oracle Opera, also known as Micros Opera, is a solution many companies in the hospitality industry - more specifically, those offering lodging and related services - use to manage reservations, sales, housekeeping, catering, and deliver personalized guest experiences.
The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has added three flaws to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, based on evidence of active exploitation.

The infamous cryptocurrency miner group called 8220 Gang has been observed using a new crypter called ScrubCrypt to carry out cryptojacking operations. According to Fortinet FortiGuard Labs, the attack chain commences with successful exploitation of susceptible Oracle WebLogic servers to download a PowerShell script that contains ScrubCrypt.
