Subject: CVE-2026-103877: Apache Directory LDAP API: Unsafe loading of Java
 code from LDAP schema elements 

Severity: critical 

Affected versions:

- Apache Directory LDAP API 2.1.0 before 2.1.9

Description:

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.
