      <title>CVE-2026-63317 — Apache OpenNLP: Arbitrary Class Instantiation in GeneratorFactory via Feature Descriptor XML</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2026-63317</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Apache Software Foundation Apache OpenNLP&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Arbitrary Class Instantiation via XML Feature Generator Descriptor and Format Name in Apache OpenNLP&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Versions Affected:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- before 2.5.10
- before 3.0.0-M5&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Description:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Three code paths in Apache OpenNLP load a class by its fully-qualified name via Class.forName() and invoke its no-arg constructor without any prior validation of the class name or its type.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The affected paths are:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(1) GeneratorFactory, which reads the class attribute of generator elements in an XML feature generator descriptor; such descriptors are embedded as artifacts in model archives (e.g. TokenNameFinder and POSTagger models) and are parsed during model loading, so an attacker who can supply a crafted model archive controls the class name directly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(2) StreamFactoryRegistry.getFactory(Class, String), which falls back to interpreting an unregistered format name as the fully-qualified class name of an ObjectStreamFactory; this is exploitable in applications that pass untrusted format names (e.g. exposing the -format parameter of the command-line tooling to external input).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(3) StringInterners, which instantiates the interner implementation named by the opennlp.interner.class system property; this value is normally deployer-controlled, so it is hardened as defense in depth rather than being independently attacker-reachable.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Exploitation requires a class with attacker-useful side effects in its static initializer or no-arg constructor (JNDI lookup, outbound network I/O, filesystem access) to be…&lt;/p&gt;</description>
