I see this type of vulnerability all the time. Seen it in Java, Lua, JavaScript, Python and so on.

I think deserialization that relying on blacklists of properties is a dangerous game.

I think rolling your own object deserialization in a library that isn’t fully dedicated to deserialization is about as dangerous as writing your own encryption code.

What does data in a program do apart from eventually modify behavior?
