com.alibaba:fastjson@1.2.69_noneautotype

com.alibaba:fastjson is a fast JSON parser/generator for Java.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Deserialization of Untrusted Data through the JSON parsing path in JSON.parse, JSON.parseObject(String), and JSON.parseObject(String, Class) when it runs inside a Spring Boot executable fat-jar. An attacker can execute code by supplying crafted JSON that reaches the vulnerable type-resolution logic, including nested payloads in Object or Map fields. The issue affects applications using the stock default configuration, and it can let a remote attacker run arbitrary code in the process that deserializes the JSON.

Notes

• The vulnerable path is verified only in Spring Boot executable fat-jar deployments started with java -jar; plain classpath launches and WAR-style deployments are outside the documented trigger condition.
• The issue is present under fastjson’s stock defaults with AutoType and SafeMode both off; enabling SafeMode blocks the vulnerable @type handling before this path is reached.

Workarounds

• Enable SafeMode by setting -Dfastjson.parser.safeMode=true, calling ParserConfig.getGlobalInstance().setSafeMode(true), or configuring it in fastjson.properties; this blocks @type-based payloads before they reach the vulnerable parsing path.
• Switch to a noneautotype build such as com.alibaba:fastjson:1.2.83_noneautotype; this removes the vulnerable code path from the deployed artifact.
• Migrate to fastjson2; this avoids the vulnerable fastjson 1.x parsing behavior in affected deployments.

Upgrade com.alibaba:fastjson to version 1.2.84 or higher.
