Summary

CVE-2026-63337 is a high-severity Unsafe Reflection (CWE-470) vulnerability. Its CVSS base score is 7.5 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Reflective Code Loading (T1620); ranked at the 24th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and AC-3 (Access Enforcement) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

The RabbitMQ Java client library allows Java and JVM-based applications to connect to and interact with RabbitMQ nodes. Prior to 5.33.0, com.rabbitmq.tools.jsonrpc.ProcedureDescription receives a javaReturnType value in an untrusted system.describe response and passes it through JSONUtil.tryFill, setJavaReturnType, and computeReturnTypeAsJavaClass to…

more

Class.forName(javaReturnType) with initialization enabled. An attacker able to answer the JsonRpcClient request through a shared broker or network interception can select a class already present in the victim JVM and trigger its static initializer, while JsonRpcClient.java later passes getReturnType output to mapper.parse and may also create type confusion. Successful exploitation can affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability in the client process. This issue is fixed in version 5.33.0.

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Input validation directly stops externally supplied class or method names from selecting improper code via reflection.

Enforces authorization checks on the code or classes ultimately invoked, blocking unauthorized selections even if reflection is used.

Limits privileges of any code reached through unsafe reflection, reducing blast radius without stopping the selection itself.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly avoid introducing externally controlled class selection via reflection.

ID.RA-01 partial match
prevents

Vulnerability identification processes can discover unsafe reflection during code review or scanning.

PR.PS-05 partial match
prevents

Preventing execution of unauthorized code can block exploitation of unsafe reflection at runtime.

prevents

Secure coding standards directly forbid unsafe reflection and require whitelisting or static alternatives.

finds

Security testing can detect and block unsafe reflection patterns before release.

prevents

Secure development lifecycle mandates input validation and design reviews that reduce unsafe reflection risks.

prevents

Application security requirements can explicitly prohibit or constrain reflection based on untrusted input.

prevents

Secure architecture principles discourage dynamic class loading from external data sources.
