Recurring patterns

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

Deserialization of Untrusted Data: The writeReplace() method in internal classes allows untrusted deserialization, enabling attackers to execute Denial of Service (DoS) attacks when processing malicious serialized objects. This is tracked under CVE-2022-25647.

JSON Hijacking: Serialized JSON streams can be vulnerable to JSON hijacking if executed directly in a browser context. Preventing this requires prepending a non-executable prefix to JSON responses to block cross-site execution.
