An attacker can manipulate this process by introducing malicious data. When this data is deserialized, it can lead to unexpected behavior such as arbitrary code execution, which in turn can result in system compromise or data leakage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"ameeb-3322601499\" class=\"ameeb-content ameeb-entity-placement\"><div class=\"poptin-embedded\" data-id=\"f6b387694f681\"><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\n<p>Below is a conceptual example of how this vulnerability might be exploited. In this case, a malicious JSON object is sent to a vulnerable endpoint on the target system.<\/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;eyJ2ZXJzaW9uIjogIjEuNS4yNSIsICJkYXRhIjogIkV4cGxvaXQiIH0K&quot; }<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>In this example, the &#8220;malicious_payload&#8221; is a base64 encoded string that when deserialized, could lead to arbitrary code execution.
