Huntress reported an attack in which adversaries exploited a SQL injection in a public web app to load a Java-based post-exploitation toolkit (khunt) into an Oracle database. By using Oracle's embedded JVM and CREATE JAVA SOURCE commands, the attackers compiled and executed malicious Java code directly inside the database, enabling credential theft; the incident highlights abuse of legitimate functionality and poor production hardening rather than a patched software vulnerability.
