CWE-502: Deserialization of Untrusted Data¶
MITRE Corporation. (2026). CWE-502: Deserialization of Untrusted Data. Common Weakness Enumeration.
Retired. This entry was not a citation. Our extractor stored an inline prose definition from the article as though it were a bibliographic record: the title names a concept rather than a published work, and the citation text names no work at all. The page is kept because links to it still resolve, but it is withdrawn from the reference list. This entry is kept so the citations that pointed at it still resolve, and so the correction is visible rather than silent.
Cited by¶
1 citation across 1 artifact.
Each citation links to the sentence it supports in the citing article.
Mechanisms¶
- Schema-Validated Message Envelope
- A related trap is a permissive deserializer that reconstructs objects from the payload, reintroducing insecure deserialization beneath a tidy-looking envelope.
This sourceDefines deserialization as reconstructing objects from serialized data and identifies insufficient validation of untrusted input as the weakness.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Was it audited? Yes. A second, independent pass read the citation against the article text and recorded a verdict.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
