Deserialization is the process of converting a serialized object back into its original state. If an attacker can manipulate the serialized object with untrusted data before it is deserialized, they can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ameeba.com\/blog\/cve-2025-22040-race-condition-vulnerability-in-linux-kernel-resulting-in-potential-system-compromise\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"57877\">potentially inject harmful code or objects into the system<\/a>.

The attacker sends a request with a manipulated serialized object in the request body. Here is a conceptual example of how such an attack might look:<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"\" data-line=\"\">POST \/vulnerable\/endpoint HTTP\/1.1\nHost: target.example.com\nContent-Type: application\/json\n{ &quot;malicious_payload&quot;: &quot;&lt;serialized object with injected harmful code&gt;&quot; }<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>In this example, the &#8220;malicious_payload&#8221; contains a serialized object that has been manipulated with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ameeba.com\/blog\/cve-2025-49013-code-injection-vulnerability-in-wilderforge-projects-due-to-unsafe-github-actions-usage\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"60103\">injected harmful code<\/a>.

Axiomthemes has released a patch for Sweet Dessert, starting with version 1.1.13. Users are strongly advised to update to this version or later. If for some reason, an immediate update is not possible, using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can provide temporary mitigation. These systems can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ameeba.com\/blog\/cve-2025-45984-critical-command-injection-vulnerability-detected-in-blink-routers\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"61385\">detect and block known attack patterns associated with this vulnerability<\/a>.
