AI-suggested
Users should upgrade Apache Fory to version 1.0.0 or later, where the vulnerability is fixed by enforcing DeserializationPolicy validation in the ReduceSerializer. No other mitigations are specified. Patch status is confirmed by the vendor advisory stating the fix in version 1.0.0.
Description
Apache Fory versions before 1.0.0 contain a critical deserialization vulnerability (CWE-502) in the PyFory ReduceSerializer. This vulnerability allows bypassing of DeserializationPolicy validation hooks during reduce-state restoration and global-name resolution when using Python-native mode with strict mode disabled. Exploitation requires deserializing attacker-controlled data under these conditions. Upgrading to Apache Fory 1.0.0 or later mitigates the issue by enforcing DeserializationPolicy validation.
