Finding Gadgets Like it’s 2026

AI-collected research leads through 22 September 2026, including targeted additions between broader sweeps. Unranked, incomplete, not community-vetted, and subject to change.

An LLM agent drives a call graph built with WALA class-hierarchy analysis, pruned to Serializable classes and extended via ASM with reflection and type-confusion edges, querying it over REST and validating each candidate with a compiled Java harness. Of 17 confirmed chains the key one abuses a shaded Xalan copy in WildFly's JSTL jar, which puts TemplatesImpl outside JPMS so PriorityQueue and BeanComparator load bytecode for RCE on JDK 21.
