CVE-2026-94127F5 BIG-IP APM — OAuth heap overflow to unauthenticated RCE

When F5's Access Policy Manager (APM) runs as an OAuth authorization server on a virtual server, crafted traffic overflows a heap buffer and gives an unauthenticated attacker remote code execution on the appliance.

YOUR NEXT MOVE

Patch BIG-IP per F5 article K000162605 now. Deployments using APM only as an OAuth client or resource server are unaffected; confirm your profiles first.
