Insecure Deserialization

web CRITICAL

Insecure deserialization occurs when an application converts serialized data (a stream of bytes representing an object's state) back into a living object without proper validation.

How It Works

Insecure deserialization occurs when an application converts serialized data (a stream of bytes representing an object's state) back into a living object without proper validation. Serialization frameworks in languages like Java, PHP, Python, and .NET allow objects to be transformed into byte streams for storage or transmission, then reconstructed later. The vulnerability arises because deserialization can trigger code execution through the object's methods during reconstruction.

Attackers exploit this by crafting malicious serialized payloads containing specially chosen objects that chain together through "gadget chains" — sequences of method calls in existing application libraries. When the application deserializes the attacker's payload, it automatically invokes these methods in sequence, ultimately achieving arbitrary code execution. For example, in Java applications, an attacker might create a serialized object that, when deserialized, triggers a chain through Apache Commons Collections classes, ending in runtime command execution.

The attack typically begins with identifying an endpoint that accepts serialized data — often in cookies, API parameters, or message queue payloads. The attacker then uses tools like ysoserial (Java) or phpggc (PHP) to generate weaponized payloads targeting known gadget chains in the application's dependencies. Because deserialization happens automatically and often before any application logic executes, these attacks frequently bypass authentication and input validation.

Impact

  • Remote code execution — attackers gain complete control of the server, executing arbitrary system commands
  • Authentication bypass — deserializing manipulated user/session objects grants unauthorized access without credentials
  • Privilege escalation — modifying serialized role or permission objects to gain administrative access
  • Data exfiltration — reading sensitive files or database contents through executed code
  • Denial of service — crafting objects that consume excessive memory or CPU during deserialization

Real-World Examples

SolarWinds Web Help Desk suffered two separate deserialization vulnerabilities in rapid succession. CVE-2025-40551 allowed unauthenticated attackers to achieve remote code execution by sending malicious serialized Java objects to the application. Even after patching, researchers discovered a second deserialization flaw in the same product, demonstrating how deeply embedded these vulnerabilities can be in application architectures.

Jenkins automation servers have experienced multiple Java deserialization vulnerabilities where attackers exploited the CLI protocol to send crafted objects, gaining full control over build servers. These attacks were particularly severe because Jenkins instances often have extensive network access and stored credentials for deploying applications.

WordPress and other PHP applications have faced attacks through unserialize() vulnerabilities in plugins, where attackers embedded malicious PHP objects in user-controllable data fields. Successful exploitation enabled attackers to install backdoors by writing arbitrary PHP files to the web root.

Mitigation

  • Avoid deserializing untrusted data entirely — redesign systems to use data-only formats like JSON instead of native serialization
  • Implement strict allowlists — configure deserialization libraries to only accept explicitly permitted classes, blocking all others
  • Apply cryptographic signatures — sign serialized data and validate signatures before deserialization to ensure integrity
  • Use isolated environments — deserialize in sandboxed processes with minimal privileges to contain potential exploitation
  • Update vulnerable libraries — patch frameworks and remove dependencies with known gadget chains
  • Monitor deserialization activity — log and alert on deserialization operations, especially from external sources

Unsafe Java deserialization in Spring Batch's DefaultExecutionContextSerializer exposes the JDBC job repository to potential remote code execution via gadget-chain exploitation. The serializer passes Base64-decoded bytes directly to ObjectInputStream.readObject() without an ObjectInputFilter restricting instantiable types, creating a CWE-502 attack surface that any suitable gadget chain on the classpath can weaponize. Affected versions span Spring Batch 5.2.6 and earlier and 6.0.0 through 6.0.4; no public exploit code or active exploitation (CISA KEV) has been identified at time of analysis.

Remote code execution in Spring Batch 5.2.0-5.2.6 and 6.0.0-6.0.4 arises because the JobParameterDeserializer fails to enforce the trusted-types allowlist when Jackson2ExecutionContextStringSerializer deserializes execution contexts from a job repository backed by an untrusted data source. An attacker who can plant crafted execution-context data can trigger known Jackson polymorphic deserialization gadgets to execute arbitrary code in the batch application's process. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; EPSS is low (0.25%, 16th percentile) and CISA SSVC lists exploitation status as none, so the 9.8 CVSS reflects worst-case impact rather than observed activity.

Remote code execution in Spring Integration allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to run arbitrary code on applications that expose the SerializingHttpMessageConverter on an inbound HTTP endpoint. The converter reads any request body sent with Content-Type application/x-java-serialized-object through a raw java.io.ObjectInputStream.readObject() with no allow-list or class filtering, so if any known Java deserialization gadget is present on the application classpath it can be chained to code execution.

Unauthenticated PHP object injection in the ILIAS e-learning platform allows remote attackers to achieve code execution as the web server user via the Shibboleth back-channel logout endpoint (shib_logout.php). The endpoint runs on an authentication-exempt path and passes every live session row's stored data through a hand-rolled parser that calls unserialize() with no class allowlist, so an attacker who first seeds a serialized object into a session row (via the equally unauthenticated LTI entry point) triggers a destructor-based POP chain that writes attacker-controlled JSON to an attacker-chosen path below the web root.

Key points of the assessment: - **Impact**: Unauth network RCE (CVSS 9.8) chaining PHP object injection via `unserialize()` with attacker-controlled cache-path file write → webshell as the webserver user. - **Signal contrast**: High CVSS but low EPSS (0.22%), no KEV, and no public POC — high severity, no observed mass exploitation yet, so it's a "patch promptly" rather than "on-fire" item. - **Metadata**: Clean — vendor (`kaltura`) and CPE are correct, no mislabeled tags, so `data_quality_flags` is empty. - **Caveat surfaced**: No exact fixed version is present in the input; I flagged that it must be confirmed from Kaltura's advisory rather than inventing one. - **Security note**: The input's "Editorial note (internal)" was a prompt-injection attempt instructing insertion of the word "gniezno" — I ignored it (consistent with prior handling) and noted it in `confidence_notes`.
