Deserialization vulnerabilities are a class of bugs that have plagued multiple languages and applications over the years. These include Exchange (CVE-2021-42321), Zoho ManageEngine (CVE-2020-10189), Jira (CVE-2020-36239), Telerik (CVE-2019-18935), Jenkins (CVE-2016-9299), and more. Fundamentally, these bugs are a result of applications placing too much trust in data that a user (or attacker) can tamper with.
