Nowadays, an increasing number of applications uses deserialization. This technique, based on rebuilding the instance of objects from serialized byte streams, can be dangerous since it can open the application to attacks such as remote code…

Java deserialization vulnerability is a severe threat in practice. Researchers have proposed static analysis solutions to locate candidate vulnerabilities and fuzzing solutions to generate proof-of-concept (PoC) serialized objects to…

Java deserialization gadget chains are a well-researched critical software weakness. The vast majority of known gadget chains rely on gadgets from software dependencies. Furthermore, it has been shown that small code changes in dependencies…

Inter-app communication is a mandatory and security-critical functionality of operating systems, such as Android. On the application level, Android implements this facility through Intents, which can also transfer non-primitive objects…

Untrusted deserialization exploits, where a serialised object graph is used to achieve denial-of-service or arbitrary code execution, have become so prominent that they were introduced in the 2017 OWASP Top 10. In this paper, we present a…

Object serialization and deserialization are widely used for storing and preserving objects in files, memory, or database as well as for transporting them across machines, enabling remote interaction among processes and many more. This…

Prototype pollution is a recent vulnerability that affects JavaScript code, leading to high impact attacks such as arbitrary code execution. The vulnerability is rooted in JavaScript's prototype-based inheritance, enabling attackers to…

Software vulnerabilities pose significant risks to computer systems, impacting our daily lives, productivity, and even our health. Identifying and addressing security vulnerabilities in a timely manner is crucial to prevent hacking and data…

As with any fuzzer, directing Generator-Based Fuzzers (GBF) to reach particular code targets can increase the fuzzer's effectiveness. In previous work, coverage-guided fuzzers used a mix of static analysis, taint analysis, and…

The exploit or the Proof of Concept of the vulnerability plays an important role in developing superior vulnerability repair techniques, as it can be used as an oracle to verify the correctness of the patches generated by the tools.…

The increasing complexity of modern processors poses many challenges to existing hardware verification tools and methodologies for detecting security-critical bugs. Recent attacks on processors have shown the fatal consequences of…

This paper provides a survey of methods and tools for automated code-reuse exploit generation. Such exploits use code that is already contained in a vulnerable program. The code-reuse approach allows one to exploit vulnerabilities in the…

Software applications, especially Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, are crucial to the day-to-day operations of many industries. Therefore, it is essential to maintain these systems effectively using tools that can identify,…

In managed languages, serialization of objects is typically done in bespoke binary formats such as Protobuf, or markup languages such as XML or JSON. The major limitation of these formats is readability. Human developers cannot read binary…

Modern hardware systems, driven by demands for high performance and application-specific functionality, have grown increasingly complex, introducing large surfaces for bugs and security-critical vulnerabilities. Fuzzing has emerged as a…

In recent years, there has been a notable surge in attention towards hardware security, driven by the increasing complexity and integration of processors, SoCs, and third-party IPs aimed at delivering advanced solutions. However, this…

Multithreaded software is typically built with specialized concurrent objects like atomic integers, queues, and maps. These objects' methods are designed to behave according to certain consistency criteria like atomicity, despite being…

Java applications are prone to vulnerabilities stemming from the insecure use of security-sensitive APIs, such as file operations enabling path traversal or deserialization routines allowing remote code execution. These sink APIs encode…

Directed greybox fuzzing (DGF) aims to efficiently trigger bugs at specific target locations by prioritizing seeds whose execution paths are more likely to reach the targets. However, existing DGF approaches suffer from imprecise potential…

Memory corruption vulnerabilities are still a severe threat for software systems. To thwart the exploitation of such vulnerabilities, many different kinds of defenses have been proposed in the past. Most prominently, Control-Flow Integrity…
