Summary

A flaw has been found in Boost Serialization involving improper validation of a specified type of input. The attack can be initiated remotely, and a public exploit has been published and may be used. The maintainer was notified in August 2025 and acknowledged but postponed the fix indefinitely, so no patch is currently available and the disclosure deadline has expired.

Risk Assessment

With no patch available and a public exploit, there is a high risk of exploitation by remote attackers, especially in applications deserializing untrusted data. This may lead to confidentiality, integrity, or availability compromise.

Recommendation

Restrict deserialization of untrusted data and add application-level input validation. Monitor Boost Serialization for a patch and consider an alternative library for data processing.
