Vulnerability in com.alibaba:fastjson (CVE-2025-70974)
Summary
Vulnerability in com.alibaba:fastjson (CVE-2025-70974). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover. Mitigation: upgrade to 1.2.48 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Fastjson before 1.2.48 mishandles autoType because, when an @type key is in a JSON document, and the value of that key is the name of a Java class, there may be calls to certain public methods of that class. Depending on the behavior of those methods, there may be JNDI injection with an attacker-supplied payload located elsewhere in that JSON document. This was exploited in the wild in 2023 through 2025. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2017-18349. Also, a later bypass is covered by CVE-2022-25845.
