CRITICALGHSA-8f39-v287-78jf is a critical-severity (CVSS 9.1) Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability in org.apache.fory:fory-core. A fix is available for org.apache.fory:fory-core — see the affected versions and patch details below.
Exploitation Status
No confirmed exploitation observed yet
- CISA assesses this as automatable — exploitation doesn’t require manual, per-target effort, which raises the odds of mass scanning and opportunistic attacks.
- A successful exploit gives an attacker total control of the affected component, not partial access.
- CISA’s own triage has not observed active exploitation or public proof-of-concept code for this CVE as of its last assessment.

Real-World Exposure

Description
Deserialization of Untrusted Data in the Java replace-resolve path in Apache Fory fory-core Java SDK before 1.1.0 on Java/JVM platforms allows a remote attacker to bypass class registration, TypeChecker, and DisallowedList checks and invoke classpath-present readResolve/readExternal hooks via crafted Fory serialized data.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 1.1.0 or later, which fixes this issue.

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.apache.fory:fory-core, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update org.apache.fory:fory-core to 1.1.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-8f39-v287-78jf is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
Do not deserialise data from untrusted sources: where the format allows it, restrict deserialisation to an explicit allowlist of expected types, and prefer a data-only format (JSON, Protobuf) over one that can reconstruct arbitrary objects until you can upgrade.
