Java Deployment click-to-play bypass in Oracle Java SE
CVE-2015-4902 is an unspecified vulnerability in the Deployment component of Oracle Java SE 6u101, 7u85, and 8u60. Oracle states that it allows remote attackers to affect integrity via unknown vectors. The provided context further characterizes the issue as a Java "click-to-play bypass" and notes its use by APT28/Sednit as a defense-evasion mechanism and as a Java 0-day in Sedkit operations. Based on the available information, the flaw appears to permit bypass of a Java security control in the deployment/browser-launch path, but the precise vulnerable function, root cause, and exploit mechanics are not provided in the source material.
