Title: Jboss EAP Use of Externally-Controlled Input to Select Classes or Code (Unsafe Reflection) Vulnerability
Overview:

In Hibernate Validator 5.2.x before 5.2.5 final 5.3.x and 5.4.x it was found that when the security manager39s reflective permissions which allows it to access the private members of the class are granted to Hibernate Validator a potential privilege escalation can occur.
