Schedule a consultation with an Azul performance expert.

A CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) refers to a vulnerability that is publicly known and available in the CVE List. Vulnerabilities are marked with a severity score (CVSS).

Azul Intelligence Cloud records information about each JVM instance. When a new CVE is discovered, you can look back over recorded information to see where the vulnerable component is used and/or present.

CVEs affect Java applications in two ways:

CVEs in the Java runtime, which can be addressed by upgrading your instance of the Core/Prime JVM. This is most often done by a system or application administrator.
CVEs in Java libraries, which can be addressed by upgrading the library within the application. This is most often done by an application developer.
