CVE-2026-48517 PUBLISHED

MessagePack-CSharp: Typeless deserialization type restrictions do not recurse into arrays or generic arguments

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 21.05.2026 Published: 22.06.2026 Updated: 23.06.2026

MessagePack for C# is a MessagePack serializer for C#. Prior to 2.5.301 and 3.1.7, MessagePack-CSharp's typeless deserialization includes MessagePackSerializerOptions.ThrowIfDeserializingTypeIsDisallowed(Type) as a safety check for dangerous types. The default implementation checks the outer type name, but it does not recursively inspect array element types or generic type arguments. As a result, a type that would be blocked directly can be wrapped inside an array or constructed generic type and pass the outer type check. The formatter machinery can then materialize formatters for the inner blocked type. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.5.301 and 3.1.7.
