Recurring patterns

The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.

Deserialization of Untrusted Data: Attackers can bypass deserialization proxy checks by tailoring a serialized class hierarchy stream that omits class descriptor data, potentially leading to remote code execution or inconsistent object states. Declaring readObjectNoData mitigates this by enforcing state initialization constraints.
Insecure Deserialization: Failing to enforce serialization proxies allows adversaries to directly instantiate cache view instances via crafted byte streams, bypassing constructor validations. Implementing serialization writeReplace and readObject protections prevents unauthorized direct deserialization.
