serialization

About this tag
Discussions tagged with serialization on WindowsForum.com cover security vulnerabilities in popular .NET JSON libraries and related scripting engines. A prominent thread addresses CVE-2024-21907, a denial-of-service flaw in Newtonsoft.Json (Json.NET) versions prior to 13.0.1, where deeply nested or crafted JSON can cause stack overflow or resource exhaustion during parsing or serialization. This is critical for applications accepting untrusted JSON input. Other threads touch on serialization in the context of medical device data transmission and the Chakra JavaScript engine's hosting APIs in Windows 10, though these are less directly about serialization itself. The tag primarily reflects concerns around secure JSON serialization in .NET environments.
