CVE-2026-46495: OpenDJ Pre-Auth RCE via Java Deserialization in JMX RMI

June 22, 2026

Description

A Deserialization of Untrusted Data (CWE-502) issue in OpenDJ’s JMX RMI connector allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to deserialize arbitrary Java objects on the server. The vulnerability exists because the platform reads and processes attacker-controlled bytes prior to authentication. This affects OpenDJ Community Edition through 5.1.0. This has been patched in version 5.1.1.
