My intention was to share information about the vulnerabilities affecting
Java language. (Without performing a proper comparison) I'd prefer not to
get into discussion about one language being less secure than another.

Sure, I'll take the occasion and spell it out ... the first example from
the list which isn't strictly a sandbox bypass -
https://packetstormsecurity.com/files/127117/Oracle-Database-Java-VM-20-Weaknesses.html
:
"Among a total of 20 weaknesses discovered, there are issues that allow to
create a specific Java security bypass condition or that facilitate the
execution of arbitrary Java code on Oracle Database server without proper
privileges".

I hope that helps in some way.
