The JSONSerializer and CBORSerializer in APScheduler (all versions including 3.10.x and 4.0.0a5) are vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE) via Insecure Deserialization. The unmarshal_object function allows for arbitrary class instantiation and state injection by dynamically importing modules and calling __setstate__ on any class available in the Python environment. An attacker can exploit this by submitting a specially crafted JSON or CBOR payload to an application using these serializers
AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in APScheduler (all versions through 3.10.x and 4.0.0a5) is achievable when applications deserialize attacker-controlled data via the bundled JSONSerializer or CBORSerializer. The unmarshal_object routine dynamically imports modules and invokes __setstate__ on arbitrary classes, letting an attacker pivot an untrusted payload into code execution; publicly available exploit code exists, though EPSS remains low at 0.06% (19th percentile).
Technical ContextAI
APScheduler is a widely embedded Python library for scheduling deferred and recurring jobs, often used inside web backends, data pipelines, and microservices. Its JSONSerializer and CBORSerializer reconstruct Python objects by reading a class path from the payload, importing that module at runtime, instantiating the class, and feeding attacker-controlled state into __setstate__. This is a textbook CWE-502 (Deserialization of Untrusted Data) flaw: although JSON and CBOR are themselves data-only formats, the surrounding unmarshal_object logic treats them as a serialization protocol that can resurrect arbitrary Python types, effectively reproducing the risk profile of pickle while masquerading as a 'safe' format.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis - neither the references nor EUVD enumerate a fixed version, so monitor https://github.com/agronholm/apscheduler for an upstream release and pin to it once published. As compensating controls, stop using JSONSerializer and CBORSerializer for any data store or transport that can receive untrusted input: switch to a serializer wrapped around a strict allowlist of permitted class paths, or move the job store to a backend the attacker cannot write to (for example a database protected by application-layer auth rather than a shared message bus). If you must keep the current serializers, place an authenticated, integrity-checked transport (mTLS or HMAC-signed payloads) in front of any endpoint that ultimately calls unmarshal_object - note this only shifts trust to the signing key and does not fix the underlying class-instantiation primitive. Audit application code for any path that feeds external HTTP, queue, or RPC bodies into APScheduler deserialization and gate it behind input validation until a patched release ships.
