Spring Integration: Unsafe deserialization in SerializingHttpMessageConverter (<7.1.0)
CVE-2026-47864 Published on August 27, 2026
Unsafe Java deserialization in SerializingHttpMessageConverter — remote code execution
SerializingHttpMessageConverter deserializes the body of incoming HTTP requests with a raw java.io.ObjectInputStream and no class filtering. Any request with Content-Type application/x-java-serialized-object whose body resolves to a Serializable type is read directly via readObject(). If an application using this converter on an inbound HTTP endpoint has any known Java deserialization "gadget" on its classpath, a remote, unauthenticated attacker can achieve arbitrary code execution.
