Executive Summary

This vulnerability is an Improper Isolation or Compartmentalization issue in Apache Syncope. It allows an administrator with sufficient permissions related to Implementations to create a malicious Groovy class that contains untrusted code. This code can execute through the class static initializer without being sandboxed, meaning it can run with fewer restrictions than intended.
