CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:HSummary
CVE-2026-64609 is a critical-severity Out-of-bounds Read (CWE-125) vulnerability in Apache Fory. Its CVSS base score is 9.1 (Critical).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 39th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to CM-7 (Least Functionality) and SI-2 (Flaw Remediation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data
Out-of-bounds read via sun.misc.Unsafe in Apache Fory. When out-of-band zero-copy deserialization is used, readAlignedVarUint() can read beyond the bounds of the underlying buffer. Out-of-band zero-copy deserialization is an opt-in feature; applications that do not use it are not affected. This…

issue affects Apache Fory (formerly Apache Fury): from 0.5.0 before 1.4.0. Versions before 0.11.0 were published under the Maven coordinates org.apache.fury:fury-core. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 1.4.0, which fixes the issue.

Control response
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Directly requires timely application of the vendor-supplied patch (upgrade to 1.4.0) that eliminates the out-of-bounds read in readAlignedVarUint.
Least-functionality principle mandates disabling the opt-in out-of-band zero-copy deserialization feature unless explicitly required, eliminating exposure to the vulnerable code path.
Enforces bounds checking and validation on all deserialized input buffers, directly mitigating the missing length check that allows the Unsafe read to exceed allocation limits.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Secure-development practices such as bounds checking and memory-safe languages directly prevent out-of-bounds reads.
Vulnerability scanning and recording can discover instances of out-of-bounds reads after code is deployed.
Routine patching replaces vulnerable code containing out-of-bounds read flaws.

Security testing in development and acceptance includes fuzzing and static analysis that detect out-of-bounds read defects before release.
Logging can record evidence of an out-of-bounds read but does not prevent the weakness itself.
Secure development life cycle mandates input validation and bounds checking that directly prevent out-of-bounds reads.
Application security requirements include explicit bounds and memory-safety specifications that mitigate buffer over-reads.
Secure system architecture and engineering principles require memory-safe design patterns and runtime protections against out-of-bounds access.
Secure coding standards explicitly forbid unsafe pointer arithmetic and mandate bounds-checked reads, eliminating CWE-125.
