CVE-2024-23682

Arbitrary Java execution via trusted-package class loading

Published Jan 19, 2024 · Updated Jul 14, 2026

Sandbox escape in TUM Applied Education Technologies Ares before 1.8.0 allows local users to execute arbitrary Java through trusted packages. The class loader treats package names on its trusted list as sufficient proof of trust, so attacker-controlled classes placed under those names inherit sandbox permissions. Exploitation requires submitted code to be compiled into a trusted package and an assessor or automated test environment to execute the supposedly sandboxed assignment.
