Java 8 (freeware) on portableapps is 8u411 (april 2024), there have been 3 updates (with some security fixes too) since.
As far I understand the jPortable online installer, it downloads a re-hosted (somewhere akin to here -> https://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/Java/) 32/64bit Oracle's tgz archive with binaries, to avoid downloading and portably unpacking the official exe installer without installation, which is not necessarily trivial.
The trouble is, the last published windows tgz archives are for 8u421 (july 2024):
x32: https://javadl.oracle.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=250128_d8aa70...
x64: https://javadl.oracle.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=250130_d8aa70...
With 8u431 and beyond (8u441 is current, from january), Oracle only distributes public exe installers, and private zip archives, that are login-gated:
https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/#java8-windows
https://www.oracle.com/a/tech/docs/8u441checksum.html
Will the online installer be adjusted to those (re-hosted?) zip archives, or changed to extract from the public installers, or is jPortable stuck on

jPortable, jdkPortable, OpenJDK, OpenJDK Legacy, OpenJDKJRE, and OpenJDKJRE Legacy have all been updated. In the future, you can report outdated apps within the Outdated Apps Thread. You can also report when a security issue is part of an update in the comments there so the app is moved to the top of the update list.
