APScheduler's JSONSerializer and CBORSerializer are vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE) via Insecure Deserialization

Published May 19, 2026 · Updated Jul 15, 2026 · Assigned by mitre

Description

The JSONSerializer and CBORSerializer in APScheduler (all versions including 3.10.x and 4.0.0a5) are vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE) via Insecure Deserialization. The unmarshal_object function allows for arbitrary class instantiation and state injection by dynamically importing modules and calling __setstate__ on any class available in the Python environment. An attacker can exploit this by submitting a specially crafted JSON or CBOR payload to an application using these serializers
