oraclejre8 8u431 fails to extract

Bug Report

Package Name: oraclejre8

Current Behaviour

Fails to extract archive.

Expected Behaviour

Extracts archive.

Additional context/output

The download link seems to be wrong, it doesn't download a valid archive. 8u421 works fine, but 8u431 is broken.
Here is log:

The downloaded tarball seems very small

~~Downloading directly from the URL in the manifest seems to work, but it fails with Scoop.~~ Need to investigate further.

Opening the url in the manifest in a browser will redirect to this image
This is the same one that scoop downloaded

It seems to be a BundleId error, should be 251408

32bit as well, should be 251407

It seems the .tar.gz bundles are missing, 251408 and -7 are for .exe files, not for tar.gz.

Parsing the EXEs for the installation files will be infeasible.

The EXE files' manifests contain the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
  <trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
    <security>
      <requestedPrivileges>
        <requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false" />
      </requestedPrivileges>
    </security>
  </trustInfo>
</assembly>

Searching the entire win x64 installer for the ASCII string requireAdministrator returns three results. Patching all of them to asInvoker (with padding so data isn't offset) "disables" the UAC prompt, but the executables will check for elevation and throw if their process isn't running with admin permissions. See jre-8u431-windows-x64.exe -> Binarycustomactions (type: DLL; Export: (7: IsUserAdmin))

Unpacking via 7-Zip will be impractical; most of the contents of Data1.cab are renamed and I'm unsure of where to look for the filenames (are they stored as hashes?).

If Oracle has intentionally ceased distribution of tarballs, we're SOL.

Alternatively, Adobe redistributes JRE 8u431 in both EXE and ZIP forms without requiring sign-ins.
