AI-suggested

Users should upgrade to Apache Fory version 1.5.0 or later, which contains the fix for this vulnerability. Applications not using Apache Fory C++ polymorphic smart-pointer deserialization are not affected and do not require action. Patch status is not explicitly stated but upgrading to 1.5.0 is the recommended remediation.

Description

CVE-2026-71558 is a critical heap type confusion vulnerability in Apache Fory C++ polymorphic smart-pointer deserialization. Versions from 0.14.0 up to but not including 1.5.0 are affected. A crafted payload can bypass type compatibility checks, causing an incompatible object to be treated as a base type, potentially leading to denial of service or arbitrary code execution. The issue is fixed in Apache Fory 1.5.0. Applications not using this deserialization feature are not affected.
