Additional information
NVDhttps://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2019-10174
CWEhttps://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/470.html

A vulnerability was found in Infinispan such that the invokeAccessibly method from the public class ReflectionUtil allows any application class to invoke private methods in any class with Infinispans privileges. The attacker can use reflection to introduce new, malicious behavior into the application.

Weakness

The product uses external input with reflection to select which classes or code to use, but it does not sufficiently prevent the input from selecting improper classes or code.
