How can I prevent deserialization attacks in my application?

To prevent deserialization attacks, you should validate and sanitize all input data, use safe serialization formats, and implement strict type checks.

What are some safe serialization formats I can use?

Consider using formats like JSON or XML, but ensure you implement proper validation and avoid using native serialization methods.

Are there any libraries that can help with this?

Yes, libraries like Jackson for Java or Newtonsoft.Json for .NET provide features to help mitigate deserialization risks.

What should I do if I suspect an attack has occurred?

If you suspect an attack, immediately review your logs, isolate affected systems, and patch any vulnerabilities.
