  "summary": "The F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM) has a critical vulnerability, CVE-2026-94127, which allows unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE) via a heap-based buffer overflow in the data plane path handling OAuth traffic. This flaw does not require any credentials or user interaction and affects specific BIG-IP deployments where APM is used as an OAuth client or resource server. F5 has released hotfixes for affected versions, but the vulnerability cannot be mitigated by Appliance mode or restricting the management interface. Enterprises should prioritize identifying and patching affected BIG-IP APM virtual servers that combine an access policy with an OAuth authorization server profile and consider inventorying and securing these instances as a top priority.",
