CWE-1066: Missing Serialization Control Element
Weakness ID : 1066
Structure : Simple
Abstraction : Base
Description
The product contains a serializable data element that does not have an associated serialization
method.
Extended Description
This issue can prevent the product from running reliably, e.g. by triggering an exception. If
the relevant code is reachable by an attacker, then this reliability problem might introduce a
vulnerability.
As examples, the serializable nature of a data element comes from a serializable
SerializableAttribute attribute in .NET and the inheritance from the java.io.Serializable interface in
Java.
