CVE-2026-94127

BIG-IP APM OAuth vulnerability

Published Sep 22, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 9.3 Critical EPSS 26.6% KEV · Listed
Description
When a BIG-IP APM access policy and an OAuth profile are configured on a virtual server, specific malicious traffic can lead to remote code execution (RCE). This vulnerability is only present when BIG-IP APM is configured as an OAuth Authorization Server. Deployments using APM strictly as an OAuth Client / Resource Server (without OAuth authorization server profiles configured) are not affected by this vulnerability.

Impact:
This vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker to perform remote code execution. The BIG-IP system in Appliance mode is also vulnerable. This is a data plane issue; there is no control plane exposure.




Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
