The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to the JSSE component in Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition offers cipher suites in the wrong way, which causes weaker cipher suites to be offered ahead of the strong ones. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to gain access to sensitive information.
