Exploit:Java/Blacole.D

Exploit:Java/Blacole.D is a Java Class module that is included in a JAR file. It is part of the 'Blackhole' exploit kit, described in CVE-2010-0840.

Compromised websites hosting this malicious Java class target users running vulnerable versions of Java Runtime Environment.

Once the Java class is loaded in the system, security checks can be bypassed and privilege escalation can be achieved. This can allow arbitrary code to be executed in the infected system.

This exploit forms one component of the Exploit:Java/Blacole family. For more information, see the description for Exploit:Java/Blacole.A elsewhere in the encyclopedia.
