Synopsis

Serialized Data Detected

Description

Serialization is the process of converting an object to a stream of bytes, in order to store or send it through the network. By opposition, deserialization is the process of reconstructing an object from this stream of bytes.

Web applications often use serialized data transmitted from the client which, depending on how it is implemented, can be abused by a malicious actor to conduct his attacks on the target application.
