What are deserialization security risks?

What are deserialization security risks?

Deserialization security risks occur when untrusted data is converted into an object, potentially leading to vulnerabilities.

Can you give me an example of a deserialization attack?

Sure! An example is when an attacker sends a malicious payload that, when deserialized, executes arbitrary code on the server.

How can I prevent deserialization vulnerabilities?

You can prevent these vulnerabilities by validating and sanitizing input, using safe libraries, and implementing strict access controls.

Are there any specific programming languages that are more vulnerable?

Yes, languages like Java and PHP have known deserialization vulnerabilities due to their object serialization features.
