Attackers are exploiting a critical flaw in F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM) that lets them run code on a BIG-IP system without logging in, F5 says. The flaw, CVE-2026-94127, affects only systems in which APM serves as an OAuth authorization server, issuing access tokens to applications. F5 disclosed it in an advisory on September 22 and has released engineering hotfixes.

F5 BIG-IP APM contains a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability when access policy and an OAuth profile are configured on a virtual server. This vulnerability could allow an unauthenticated attacker to perform remote code execution.
