Hi,
Our security team is reporting a vulnerability pointing to KSE’s Azul OpenJDK:
Azul Zulu Java Multiple Vulnerabilities (2022-10-18)
All I would like to do is upgrade OpenJDK in the Katalon_Studio_Engine_Windows_64-8.2.1 directory.
Has anyone tried updating the JRE in KSE? Successful?
Can you share which version of KSE you are using? As well, which OS you are using? As mentioned here, if you are using Linux, KSE just supported OpenJDK 8 so upgrade is not possible.
upgrade OpenJDK in the Katalon_Studio_Engine_Windows_64-8.2.1 directory
The OP is asking to upgrade the embedded JRE shipped with KSE build for windows.
@john.vonplutzner I am afraid this is not possible, since you don’t have access to all source code to rebuild KSE/KRE … but let’s wait for some more thoughts from Katalon staff.
Anyway, if you run your tests on a Linux executor with KRE, then you are in control of the OS installed Java, since this flavor don’t came with an embedded runtime. As long as is a certain OpenJDK8 build, you should be fine.
If you want to control the java runtime used by KSE, you will have to do the development on a Linux machine also.
On the other side, you can change the Java version used to compile and run the tests and this can be >= 8.
KSE himself will still run on the embedded java but the tests will be executed using your desired one, see the guidance here:
