MessagePack.AspNetCoreMvcFormatter is vulnerable to Initialization of a Resource with an Insecure Default
63
Medium Risk
This Affects:
MessagePack.AspNetCoreMvcFormatterTL;DR
The parameterless MessagePackInputFormatter constructor defaults to MessagePackSerializerOptions.Standard with MessagePackSecurity.TrustedData even though it binds HTTP request bodies. Untrusted clients can therefore deserialize request models without the hash-collision and depth mitigations intended for untrusted data. The fix defaults the parameterless constructor to MessagePackSecurity.UntrustedData.
Who does this affect?
You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range and register the parameterless MessagePackInputFormatter without explicit untrusted-data serializer options.
