> A rogue/compromised *LDAP* server (or pre-*TLS* *MITM*) answers a client's _loadSchema()_ subschema search with '_syntaxCheckers_:
> {code:java}
> ( 1.2.3.4 FQCN evil.Pwn BYTECODE <base64 of a class whose static{} runs Runtime.exec> X-SCHEMA "other" )
> {code}
> _DefaultSchemaLoader_ parses it, _SchemaEntityFactory_ defines the class via _AttributeClassLoader_ and instantiates it — attacker code executes in the client *JVM* with the application's privileges.
