CVE-2025-61622: Python RCE via unguarded pickle fallback serializer in pyfory
Severity: Critical
Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation
Versions affected: 0.5.0 through 0.12.2 for pyfory, and the legacy fury versions from 0.1.0 through 0.10.3
Description: Deserialization of untrusted data in python in pyfory versions 0.12.0 through 0.12.2, or the legacy pyfury versions from 0.1.0 through 0.10.3: allows arbitrary code execution. An application is vulnerable if it reads pyfory serialized data from untrusted sources. An attacker can craft a data stream that selects pickle-fallback serializer during deserialization, leading to the execution of pickle.loads, which is vulnerable to remote code execution.
Mitigation: Users of Apache Fory are recommended to upgrade to pyfory version 0.12.3 or later, which has removed pickle fallback serializer and thus fixes this issue. Developers of libraries and applications that depend on Apache Fory should update their dependency requirements to Apache Fory 0.12.3 or later and release new versions of their software.
