CVE intelligence and bounded remediation

CVE-2022-36038 — CircuitVerse is an open-source platform which allows users to construct digital logic circuits online

High CVSS 8.8

CircuitVerse is an open-source platform which allows users to construct digital logic circuits online. A remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in CircuitVerse allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code via specially crafted JSON payloads. This issue may lead to Remote Code Execution (RCE). A patch is available in commit number 7b3023a99499a7675f10f2c1d9effdf10c35fb6e. There are currently no known workarounds.

Unsafe deserialization and object reconstruction

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Inventory serialization formats accepted from requests, queues, caches, files, cookies, and cross-service messages.
  • Trace whether untrusted input can select classes, types, callbacks, constructors, or object hooks during decoding.
  • Identify signing, schema validation, trust-boundary, and compatibility settings for each decoder.

Remediate safely

  • Replace native object deserialization with a data-only format and explicit schema validation.
  • If replacement is not immediate, use a safe decoder with a minimal type allowlist and disable polymorphic or executable hooks.
  • Update the affected library and add inert tests for unknown types, extra fields, malformed nesting, and unsigned data.
