This writeup describes a proof-of-concept exploit (ret2cds) used in a CTF to abuse an OpenJDK Class Data Sharing rwx region via process_vm_readv/process_vm_writev to inject shellcode and escape a restricted seccomp sandbox, achieving a reverse shell; the author details discovery, exploitation steps, and notes newer OpenJDK versions mitigate the issue.
