CVE-2026-103877 PUBLISHED

Apache Directory LDAP API: Unsafe loading of Java code from LDAP schema elements

Assigner: apache
Reserved: 01.10.2026 Published: 02.10.2026 Updated: 02.10.2026

Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability in Apache Directory LDAP API.

A rogue/compromised LDAP server (or pre-TLS MITM) can answer a client's loadSchema() subschema search with a schema object that contains a serialized Java class, allowing some potential RCE. 

This issue affects Apache Directory LDAP API: from 2.1.0 before 2.1.9.

Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.1.9, which fixes the issue.
