Apache · Apache Dubbo · CVE-2021-25641
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Apache Dubbo versions prior to 2.7.8
Apache Dubbo versions prior to 2.6.9
**Description**
The issue allows an attacker to choose the serialization id used by the Provider, bypassing the server's instruction. This can lead to exploitation if a weak deserializer, such as `Kryo` or `FST`, is in the code scope. A remote unauthenticated attacker can exploit this weakness.
**Recommendations**
For Apache Dubbo versions prior to 2.7.8, update to version 2.7.8 or later.
For Apache Dubbo versions prior to 2.6.9, update to version 2.6.9 or later.
As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the use of weak deserializers, such as `Kryo` and `FST`, until a patch is applied.
