Apache Fory: PyFory ReduceSerializer Incomplete Policy Enforcement

Published May 21, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 9.8 Critical EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Deserialization of untrusted data in Apache Fory PyFory. PyFory's ReduceSerializer could bypass documented DeserializationPolicy validation hooks during reduce-state restoration and global-name resolution. An application is vulnerable if it deserializes attacker-controlled data using PyFory Python-native mode with strict mode disabled and relies on DeserializationPolicy to restrict unsafe classes, functions, or module attributes.

This issue affects Apache Fory: from before 1.0.0.

Mitigation: Users of Apache Fory are recommended to upgrade to version 1.0.0 or later, which enforces DeserializationPolicy validation for the affected ReduceSerializer paths and thus fixes this issue.
