Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2024-23052 is a remote code execution vulnerability in WuKongOpenSource WukongCRM version 72crm_9.0.1_20191202. The flaw resides in the fastjson component's parseObject() function and is classified under CWE-502 (deserialization of untrusted data). It carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 9.8, reflecting network-accessible exploitation with no required credentials or user interaction.
An unauthenticated remote attacker can supply a malicious serialized object to the affected endpoint, triggering arbitrary code execution on the server. Successful exploitation grants full control over the application process, including the ability to read, modify, or delete data and potentially pivot within the environment.
Public references consist of GitHub repositories containing technical write-ups and issue reports that reproduce the flaw; no official vendor advisory or patch information is included in the available sources. The EPSS score stands at 0.7845 with an identical recorded peak, indicating sustained exploitation interest since disclosure.

Mitigating Controls
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and evaluation can uncover deserialization flaws before deployment.
Input validation directly stops deserialization of untrusted data by ensuring inputs are valid before processing.
Engineering principles such as safe deserialization and input sanitization structurally prevent the weakness from being introduced.
Integrity verification tools can detect malformed or tampered serialized data after the fact.

PR.PS-02 addresses only post-deployment updates/patching and cannot prevent introduction of unsafe deserialization code, yet it can remediate some instances when the flaw exists in outdated libraries or components.

Security testing includes validation of deserialization routines and the use of untrusted data, reducing the likelihood that unsafe object reconstruction will be deployed.
Requiring vetted libraries, regular updates and SAST before release reduces the likelihood that deserialization logic will accept and act on attacker-controlled serialized objects.
Regular scanning of third-party libraries and timely patching reduce the likelihood that unsafe deserialization vulnerabilities remain active.
Mandatory malware scanning of data received over networks or storage media intercepts malicious serialized payloads before they are deserialized by the target application.
