What are serialization security issues?

What are serialization security issues?

Serialization security issues arise when data is converted into a format that can be easily manipulated, leading to vulnerabilities.

Can you give me an example of a serialization attack?

Sure! One common example is the deserialization of untrusted data, which can allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code.

How can I prevent serialization security issues in my application?

To prevent these issues, you should validate and sanitize all serialized data, use secure libraries, and avoid deserializing untrusted data.

Are there specific libraries that help with secure serialization?

Yes, libraries like Jackson for Java and Newtonsoft.Json for .NET have features to help mitigate serialization vulnerabilities.
