CVE-2011-3544 is a remote code execution vulnerability in the Scripting component of Oracle Java SE JDK/JRE 6 Update 27 and earlier and Java SE 7. The issue is widely referenced as the Java Rhino or Rhino Script Engine vulnerability and was exploitable via untrusted Java applets and Java Web Start applications. The provided context indicates exploit code abused the Rhino script engine to bypass the Java sandbox, including disabling the Java Security Manager (for example by setting it to null via reflection), after which attacker-controlled code could download and execute a native payload on the victim host. The vulnerability was heavily weaponized in exploit kits such as Blackhole, Nuclear, Sakura, Phoenix, Sweet Orange, HiMan, CritXPack, White Lotus, and Private Exploit Pack, and was also used in campaigns including Red October and Flashback-related activity.
