Well, perhaps they should upgrade it for the sake of the ~170 CVEs that have been published against Java 1.8.0_60? https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list.php?vendor_id=...

Sure, a lot of those probably don't apply to how they're using Java, but I'd bet at least a couple do.

Vendors often backport CVEs without changing version numbers.
Or review the details and decide that the specific issue doesn't apply to them. This actually makes sense in larger environments.
