security: expand autoType deny list + implement addAutoTypeDeny (5 commits, closes 5 VULNs, tests included) - #7846
Conversation
…f 3)
fastjson2 currently rejects autoType only on category-level rules
(ClassLoader subclasses + javax.sql.DataSource/RowSet impls). Several
historically exploited base classes remain reachable when an app opts
into SupportAutoType, including:
- java.lang.Class (triggers arbitrary static init via
Class.forName, bypassing deny table)
- java.lang.Runtime / Process / ProcessBuilder
- java.net.URL / URI / InetSocketAddress / URLClassLoader
(SSRF / remote jar loading)
- java.io.File / ObjectInputStream / ObjectOutputStream
- javax.naming.InitialContext, javax.script.ScriptEngineManager
- com.sun.rowset.JdbcRowSetImpl,
com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.trax.TemplatesImpl,
com.sun.org.apache.bcel.internal.util.ClassLoader,
- common Spring / Apache Commons / Groovy / C3P0 gadgets
This PR adds a hardcoded FQCN list (JDKUtils.AUTO_TYPE_DENY_FQCN, ~80
entries) that is matched by exact FQCN in isAutoTypeDenyClass. The
match is intentionally FQCN-exact (not isAssignableFrom) so that
legitimate app classes inheriting from a safe type are not blocked as
collateral damage. Each FQCN probe is wrapped in try/catch so absent
or unloaded modules degrade to a silent skip rather than failing the
whole JDKUtils class init.
No public API change. Behaviour change is strictly additive:
previously-silently-resolved classes on this list are now rejected
with 'autoType is not support'.
ObjectReaderImplClass.readObject previously delegated straight to
provider.checkAutoType() after validating SupportClassForName. When
SupportAutoType and SupportClassForName are both opted into (and
SupportClassForName is explicitly on the user-facing feature list),
{"@type":"java.lang.Class","val":"<FQCN>"} can reach arbitrary class
resolution — the same Class.forName gadget family that broke fastjson
1.x.
This PR adds two defence-in-depth checks:
1. Reject the target class name early if it matches any FQCN in
JDKUtils.AUTO_TYPE_DENY_FQCN (added in PR-1).
2. After provider.checkAutoType() resolves the class, re-check it
against JDKUtils.isAutoTypeDenyClass so the inner Class.forName
path cannot smuggle a denied type past the outer gate.
The double check is intentional: checkAutoType() walks a rolling-hash
allow list and may permit a class name that an explicit deny list
should still block (the fastjson 1.x hardening pattern).
No public API change.
…deny list (PR-3 of 3) ObjectReaderProvider.addAutoTypeDeny(String) was previously a no-op @deprecated stub, breaking compatibility with the legacy fastjson 1.x ParserConfig.addDeny(...) API that downstream apps rely on for runtime gadget mitigation. This PR makes it actually work: 1. Add denyNameSet + denyHashCodes (volatiles, mirror acceptNameSet / acceptHashCodes) maintained by a synchronized addAutoTypeDeny(). 2. Seed the deny list from the JVM-wide fastjson2.parser.deny system property at provider construction time, so the system-property knob actually works in fastjson2. 3. In checkAutoType(), before any rolling-hash allow-list scan or loadClass() call, look up the normalized type name against the deny table and reject with "autoType is not support" if matched. Names are normalized via normalizeAcceptName() (same $ ↔ . rewrite used for accept entries) so an attacker cannot bypass the deny check with com.alibaba.fastjson2.demos$evil. Closes the legacy addDeny() compat gap. The class no longer needs to be marked @deprecated. PR-1 (JDKUtils.AUTO_TYPE_DENY_FQCN) and PR-2 (ObjectReaderImplClass defence-in-depth) are companion changes that together close the five @type gadgets found in fastjson 1.2.84 and re-tested against fastjson 2.x's partially-patched baseline.

These tests prove the deny-list hardening from PR-1/2/3 actually works:
- JDKUtilsDenyListTest#testIsAutoTypeDenyClass_ExactFQCN
walks every FQCN in AUTO_TYPE_DENY_FQCN, asserts isAutoTypeDenyClass returns true,
and asserts non-deny classes (Object, String) are not matched (exact-FQCN, not
isAssignableFrom).
- ObjectReaderImplClassTest#testRefusesDangerousVal
feeds {"@type":"java.lang.Class","val":"com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.trax.TemplatesImpl"}
through JSON.parseObject with both SupportAutoType and SupportClassForName on.
Pre-PR-2 this would have loaded TemplatesImpl via the inner Class.forName path; post-PR-2
it throws JSONException("autoType is not support").
- ObjectReaderImplClassTest#testRefusesRuntimeVal
same for java.lang.Runtime.
- ObjectReaderProviderTest#testAddAutoTypeDenyEnforced
proves addAutoTypeDeny(String) is no longer a no-op: adding "com.acme.Gadget" then calling
checkAutoType throws JSONException.
- ObjectReaderProviderTest#testDenyNormalisationDollarToDot
adds "com.acme.Gadget$Inner", asserts "com.acme.Gadget.Inner" is also rejected (the same
$ → . rewrite that checkAutoType applies to allow-list entries is applied here).
- ObjectReaderProviderTest#testSystemPropertyDenySeed
sets fastjson2.parser.deny=com.acme.X,com.acme.Y, instantiates a fresh provider, and
asserts checkAutoType rejects both names — the system property was previously honoured only
by fastjson 1.x.

[Critical] R1-1: core main sources do not compile — JDKUtils.AUTO_TYPE_DENY_FQCN is package-private in com.alibaba.fastjson2.util but is dereferenced from com.alibaba.fastjson2.reader.
No jar is produced, so core cannot be built or tested, fastjson1-compatible / extension-* / kotlin cannot be built against it, and every CI matrix job fails (29 of them are already red on this commit). Because nothing builds, none of the five vulnerabilities this PR says it closes changes for any consumer, and the verification command in the PR description cannot have been run. The break went unnoticed because the one test that touches the array, JDKUtilsDenyListTest, sits in the same package as JDKUtils.
Witness:
[ERROR] ObjectReaderImplClass.java:[58,37] AUTO_TYPE_DENY_FQCN is not public in com.alibaba.fastjson2.util.JDKUtils; cannot be accessed from outside package
[ERROR] ObjectReaderImplClass.java:[59,42] AUTO_TYPE_DENY_FQCN is not public in com.alibaba.fastjson2.util.JDKUtils; cannot be accessed from outside package
[INFO] BUILD FAILURE
Please do not fix this by adding public to the array — a public static final String[] is element-writable, so any caller could do JDKUtils.AUTO_TYPE_DENY_FQCN[0] = "" and silently disarm a security deny list (see the comment on JDKUtils.java:79). Expose the decision instead:
// JDKUtils
private static final Set<String> AUTO_TYPE_DENY_FQCN_SET =
Collections.unmodifiableSet(new HashSet<>(Arrays.asList(AUTO_TYPE_DENY_FQCN)));
public static boolean isAutoTypeDenyName(String name) {
return name != null && AUTO_TYPE_DENY_FQCN_SET.contains(name);
}// ObjectReaderImplClass.readObject, replacing the open-coded loop
if (JDKUtils.isAutoTypeDenyName(className)) {
throw new JSONException(jsonReader.info("autoType is not support : " + className));
}This also removes the duplicated 80-iteration linear scan and brings isAutoTypeDenyClass back under the JIT inlining threshold.
Constraint: JDKUtilsDenyListTest.java:6 does import static com.alibaba.fastjson2.util.JDKUtils.AUTO_TYPE_DENY_FQCN;, which compiles today only because that test sits in com.alibaba.fastjson2.util — whatever shape replaces the array must keep that static import valid, or update the test in the same commit.
Acceptance: mvn -pl core compile goes green. Note that no test pins the code this restores — with the loop deleted, ObjectReaderImplClassTest still passes 2/2 (see the comment on that file), so if the loop is kept it needs a test whose payload is not already denied at ObjectReaderProvider.java:1024.

[Critical] R1-9: [certifies-falsely] [regression] both checks added to readObject are unconditional — they run before the SupportClassForName gate, ignore the provider's accept list, and veto a class checkAutoType has already returned for an explicit full-name accept.
That inverts the precedence the three pre-existing isAutoTypeDenyClass call sites encode (ObjectReaderProvider.java:952 and :986 both guard on i + 1 < typeNameLength) and the @return contract this diff itself keeps at JDKUtils.java:606 — "true if the class must not be resolved through a whitelist prefix match". An app that relied on SupportClassForName to carry JDK type names in a config bean loses it with no escape hatch, while the sibling @type path still honours the same accept entry — so one FQCN is hard-denied on one path and accepted on another. Apps that never enabled SupportClassForName also lose the actionable diagnostic and get an autoType error for a config that is already enabled.
Witness (A/B against released fastjson2-2.0.65):
{"clazz":"java.net.URL"} + SupportClassForName BASE: OK HEAD: THROW autoType is not support : java.net.URL
{"clazz":"java.lang.Thread"} BASE: OK HEAD: THROW
{"clazz":"java.io.File"} BASE: OK HEAD: THROW
after addAutoTypeAccept("java.net.URL") BASE: OK HEAD: THROW <- explicit accept ignored
addAutoTypeAccept("java.lang.Thread") + @type BASE: OK HEAD: OK <- sibling path honours it
"java.lang.Runtime" -> Class.class, SupportAutoType only
BASE: THROW not support ClassForName : java.lang.Runtime, you can config 'JSONReader.Feature.SupportClassForName'
HEAD: THROW autoType is not support : java.lang.Runtime
same shape, non-denied "com.acme.Gadget" BASE == HEAD (unchanged) <- loss is specific to deny-listed names
Make both checks conditional on the same policy the rest of the library uses: drop the early string loop and rely on the post-resolve check, or keep an early reject but place it after the classForName gate and skip it when the provider has an accept entry naming the type in full. For the post-resolve check at :84-86, restrict it to the prefix-match case so an explicit full-name accept stays an opt-in.
Please do not simply delete the :84-86 check: measured, it is the only gate that stops a full-name-accepted ClassLoader / DataSource / RowSet subtype end-to-end, because ObjectReaderProvider.java:951-954 skips its veto when i + 1 == typeNameLength.
Constraint: the post-resolve check only runs when provider.checkAutoType(...) at :76 returns non-null, so removing the early loop must not also remove that call; and TypeUtils.getMapping(className) at :71-74 returns before :84, so a name check placed only before loadClass leaves the mapping branch uncovered. AutoTypeValidationTest.java:279-289 (testExactAcceptNameAllowsClassLoader) is the existing test encoding that a full-name accept is an explicit opt-in.
Acceptance: a test asserting {"clazz":"java.net.URL"} into a Class<?> field succeeds after addAutoTypeAccept("java.net.URL") (red today), a mirror case asserting a full-name-accepted test-local ClassLoader subclass still throws, and {"clazz":"...TemplatesImpl"} still throws so the fix is not read as "delete the list".

[Critical] R1-3: four files in this PR do not end with a newline, and this hunk removed the trailing LF ObjectReaderProvider.java previously had — which fails the project's own checkstyle gate, so mvn validate fails before anything compiles.
src/checkstyle/fastjson2-checks.xml:7-9 declares NewlineAtEndOfFile with lineSeparator=lf at Checker level, and pom.xml:575-584 binds checkstyle:check to the validate phase with failOnViolation=true and includeTestSourceDirectory=true. None of the four paths is in the plugin's <excludes> list. AGENTS.md names mvn validate as a required gate. Because the failure is reported by the style plugin rather than the compiler, an engineer sees "checkstyle violation" on a security PR and has to work out that a missing byte at EOF broke the build.
Witness:
[ERROR] src/main/java/com/alibaba/fastjson2/reader/ObjectReaderProvider.java:[1] (misc) NewlineAtEndOfFile: File does not end with a newline.

Append a single LF to the end of all four files. JDKUtils.java and ObjectReaderImplClass.java already end correctly.
Constraint: the separator must be LF, not CRLF (fastjson2-checks.xml:8 pins lineSeparator=lf, and :10-13 separately reject any \r), and :20-23 rejects \n\n\Z — so each file must end with exactly one LF after }, not a trailing blank line.
Acceptance: mvn validate goes from 4 violations to 0; no unit test can pin a byte.

| // Programmatic deny list check. Run BEFORE any allow-list rolling-hash scan or loadClass |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
[Critical] R1-6: [certifies-falsely] [new-surface] the programmatic deny list is read at exactly ONE place in all of core/src/main/java — this block — and the name-form policy has no owner, so four separate routes resolve a denied type without ever consulting it. The guarantee the javadoc 200 lines above adds ("rejected by checkAutoType regardless of SupportAutoType or any explicit accept entry") and this comment's "a denied type never triggers a Class.forName on attacker input" are both false.
This is a class-level finding rather than four separate ones, because the surface is not closable entrance by entrance — five successive audit passes each found another route. The root is that the policy is one inline block in one method instead of one owner consulted at every route that turns a name into a Class.
The four measured entrances:
- Handler / filter routes.
checkAutoTypereturns the handler's class at:884-890, 34 lines above this block;JSONReader.Context.getObjectReaderAutoType(JSONReader.java:5664-5675,:5693-5705) hands that class straight toprovider.getObjectReaderand never callscheckAutoType;ObjectReaderBean.checkAutoType0:177-193resolves through the context filter and reaches the provider only in theelse;JSONReaderJSONB.checkAutoTypeWithHandler:1332-1343has the same shape; and the shippedContextAutoTypeBeforeHandler.applyconsults only the hardcoded table (:290), neverdenyNameSet. So the standard way to enable autoType is also the standard way to bypass this list. - The filter caches a class it then rejects.
ContextAutoTypeBeforeHandler.apply(String,…)callsputCacheIfAbsent(typeNameHash, clazz)at:279before the rejection at:290-291, and its hash-keyed siblingapply(long,…)at:237-248is a pure predicate-free cache read.ObjectReaderImplClass:39is the only caller of that hash entry point in the whole repo'ssrc/main, and its:45 return filterClass;exits before both checks this PR adds. - The mapping exit.
ObjectReaderImplClass.readObjectreturns atTypeUtils.getMapping(className)(:70-73) beforecheckAutoTypeis ever called. This one needs no handler and no filter — it fires on a default-configured provider. - Enforcement altitude. The pre-load name check exists only in
ObjectReaderImplClass, so every othercheckAutoTypecaller still resolves a hardcoded-denied name throughClassLoader.loadClassbefore rejecting it at:1024.
Witness:
# (1) the deny entry fires on the direct path and is invisible on the filter path:
r16-direct BASE: OK: class com.acme.Gadget HEAD: THROW autoType is not support. com.acme.Gadget
r16-filter BASE: OK: Gadget{pwn} HEAD: OK: Gadget{pwn} <- denied class instantiated AND populated
r16-handler BASE: OK: Gadget{pwn} HEAD: OK: Gadget{pwn}
r16-hardcoded-filter (autoTypeFilter("java.net.") + @type java.net.URL)
BASE: THROW read URL error HEAD: THROW autoType is not support. java.net.URL
# -> one PR ships two deny lists with different reachability
# (2) request 1 and request 2 are the SAME payload — the rejecting call poisons the cache itself:
HEAD apply("java.net.InetSocketAddress", null, 0) = null
HEAD apply(Fnv.hashCode64("java.net.InetSocketAddress"), ...) = class java.net.InetSocketAddress
HEAD request1 -> THREW autoType is not support : java.net.InetSocketAddress
HEAD request2 -> bean.clazz = class java.net.InetSocketAddress
# (3) no handler, no filter, default provider:
A {"@type":"java.util.HashMap"} , SupportAutoType : THREW autoType is not support. java.util.HashMap
B {"clazz":"java.util.HashMap"}, SupportClassForName : RESOLVED -> Bean{clazz=class java.util.HashMap}
# (4) recording context ClassLoader, same provider, same JVM:
hardcoded deny java.io.File -> THREW | contextClassLoader.loadClass calls: [java.io.File]
hardcoded deny TemplatesImpl -> THREW | loadClass calls: [com.sun...TemplatesImpl]
programmatic deny com.acme.Gadget -> THREW | loadClass calls: []
Close it structurally rather than route by route: add boolean isAutoTypeDenyName(String typeName) on ObjectReaderProvider (mirroring :921-923) and a name-based public static boolean isAutoTypeDenyName(String) in JDKUtils for the hardcoded table, then consult them at the top of checkAutoType (before the autoTypeBeforeHandler early return), in both JSONReader.Context.getObjectReaderAutoType overloads before honouring a handler result, in ObjectReaderBean.checkAutoType0, in JSONReaderJSONB.checkAutoTypeWithHandler, and in ObjectReaderImplClass.readObject before both the typeFilter exit at :45-47 and the getMapping exit at :70-73. Separately, move putCacheIfAbsent below the rejection in ContextAutoTypeBeforeHandler.apply(String,…) so only the return clazz branch caches; and call the JDKUtils name predicate before clazz = loadClass(typeName) at :1021 so the pre-load guarantee holds for every caller.
Two constraints that were measured, so please do not skip them. First, do not reorder autoTypeBeforeHandler against SAFE_MODE, and do not add a blanket deny check inside ContextAutoTypeBeforeHandler.apply(long,…): safemode-test/.../Issue1503S.java:18-23 pins that an explicit filter resolving an accepted type (including a $ nested subclass written by WriteClassName) must work — a trusted handler running before safeMode is a design contract here, not a bug. Measured, moving the cache publish below the rejection leaves all three accept contracts byte-identical, while a blanket deny check inside apply(long,…) flattens them (it returned null for an accept entry naming the type in full, because it has no i + 1 < typeNameLength gate and cannot see one). Second, the getMapping fix must not reorder getMapping behind checkAutoType, which would break the non-FQCN alias keys ("HashMap", "JO10", "[O", "[Object", "StackTraceElement" — TypeUtils.java:1792, :1797-1803).
Acceptance: three tests, each red today — (a) addAutoTypeDeny("com.acme.Gadget") + JSONReader.autoTypeFilter("com.acme.") + SupportAutoType must throw rather than return an instance; (b) ContextAutoTypeBeforeHandler f = new ContextAutoTypeBeforeHandler("java.net.") → assertNull(f.apply("java.net.InetSocketAddress", null, 0)) then assertNull(f.apply(Fnv.hashCode64("java.net.InetSocketAddress"), null, 0)), where the second assertion is the one that reds; (c) on a fresh provider, addAutoTypeDeny("java.util.HashMap") then {"clazz":"java.util.HashMap"} into a Class<?> field under SupportClassForName must throw, with a control asserting the same payload resolves when the deny is absent.

[Critical] R1-7: [certifies-falsely] [new-surface] a deny entry is stored and matched as ONE exact $→.-normalized string, while the rest of the library resolves a single type from many names and the sibling accept machinery 15 lines below matches prefixes — so four whole classes of entry silently deny nothing.
The javadoc this diff adds promises "restores parity with com.alibaba.fastjson.parser.ParserConfig#addDeny" and "matched ... exactly the same way addAutoTypeAccept treats names". Measured against the real 1.2.83 artifact, neither holds for the entry shapes below. This is one root decision — the deny key is the raw registered string, never the identity of the type it names — so it is filed once rather than as four comments.
- Prefix.
addAutoTypeDeny("com.evil"), or-Dfastjson2.parser.deny=com.evil, orParserConfig.getGlobalInstance().addDeny("com.evil")from fastjson1-compatible (which forwards straight here atParserConfig.java:97-103):checkAutoType("com.evil.Gadget", ...)hashes the full name, misses, and resolves the gadget. No exception, no log, anddenyNameSetstill shows the entry — so an operator auditing "what did I deny" sees it. A trailing-dot spelling matches nothing at all, sincenormalizeAcceptNamedoes not strip a trailing dot. - Descriptor and array spellings.
hasIllegalTypeNameCharsrejects only:and!(TypeUtils.java:2843-2845) whileTypeUtils.loadClassstripsL…;at:3027-3029and resolves[X/X[]at:3031-3037; the component recursion at:908-911fires only for a leading[, so it never sees a suffix-form component. The denied component is resolved and linked through the thread-context classloader — precisely what the comment at:918-920says cannot happen. - Alias spellings.
TYPE_MAPPINGSholds 132 alias/short keys beside 84 dot-shaped ones andnormalizeAcceptNameperforms no alias resolution, so denyingjava.util.HashMapdoes not block"HashMap". - Whitespace.
addAutoTypeDenydoes not trim while the property-seeding loop this same PR adds at:258-266does, and the only in-repo consumer of the restored API feeds it untrimmed items (splitItemsFormPropertyisproperty.split(",")with no trim,ParserConfig.java:169-174). Sofastjson.parser.deny=com.a.Evil, com.b.Evilregisters a leading-space key that can never match. The first item works, which is what makes the failure invisible: the control is half-live. Note the asymmetry the accept side does not share — an untrimmed accept entry fails closed, an untrimmed deny entry fails open.

Decide what a deny key is and enforce it once, at registration and at lookup alike: (a) trim here — String denyName = normalizeAcceptName(name.trim()); plus an isEmpty() return; (b) either implement prefix matching by mirroring the accept rolling-hash scan, or keep exact-name-only and delete the 1.x parity claim, saying explicitly that a package deny must list each FQCN and rejecting or logging a prefix-shaped argument at registration so the no-op is not silent; (c) normalize the descriptor and array spellings before hashing (strip leading [s, a surrounding L…;, and trailing []) and extend the :908 recursion with an endsWith("[]") arm — measured, the recursion arm closes both the programmatic list and the hardcoded table for the suffix family, while an unwrap at the deny-hash site alone closes only the programmatic list, and the bare L…; spelling still needs its own unwrap. Comparing the resolved class name after loadClass/getMapping would cover aliases too.
Three constraints, all measured. Fnv.hashCode64(String) (Fnv.java:135-158) takes a packed-little-endian fast path for name.length() <= 8 that is not the FNV-1a rolling value — "com.evil" is exactly 8 chars, on the boundary — so a prefix scan must hash deny entries with the rolling recurrence used at :941-942 or short entries silently stop matching. ObjectReaderProvider.java:211-214 — a hash match is only honoured when the matched prefix text is in the name set, so a prefix deny must keep the denyNameSet.contains(prefix) verification or a hash collision starts denying unrelated types. And the trim must go here, not in normalizeAcceptName: TypeUtils.java:2858-2860 has 7 main-source call sites (:238, :305, :342, :921, :945, :980 and ContextAutoTypeBeforeHandler:226, :270), so trimming there would re-key every existing accept entry and widen autoType acceptance.
Acceptance: four assertions, each red today — addAutoTypeDeny("com.acme") then checkAutoType("com.acme.Gadget", null, SupportAutoType.mask) throws; addAutoTypeDeny("java.util.Currency") then the same for "java.util.Currency[]", "Ljava.util.Currency;", "[Ljava.util.Currency;" and "[[Ljava.util.Currency;"; addAutoTypeDeny(" com.acme.Padded ") then checkAutoType("com.acme.Padded", ...) throws; and a compat-side regression using new ParserConfig() with DENY_PROPERTY="com.a.A, com.b.B" asserting both names throw. Please put these on a private provider — the existing test class mutates the JVM-global default provider.

[Suggestion] R1-20: no test in this file registers an accept entry, so the deny-beats-accept precedence the new javadoc promises is unpinned. The precedence itself is correct at head — this is a coverage gap, not a behaviour defect.
That precedence is the entire reason the new check sits at ObjectReaderProvider.java:918, ahead of both rolling-hash accept scans. But every denied name here (com.acme.Gadget, com.acme.Gadget$Inner, com.acme.X, com.acme.Y) is unloadable and no accept entry is ever registered, so the branch that returns an accepted class without consulting the deny list is never exercised — and a natural refactor that relocates the deny block below the accept scans survives the whole suite.
Witness:
INTACT PROBE_A1 accept-prefix 'com.acme.' + deny 'com.acme.Gadget' -> THREW autoType is not support. com.acme.Gadget
INTACT PROBE_A2 accept-full 'com.acme.Gadget' + deny same -> THREW
INTACT PROBE_A4 CONTROL accept-prefix, no deny -> RETURNED class com.acme.Gadget
MUTANT (deny block moved below the two accept scans, above the !autoTypeSupport return)
PROBE_A1 -> RETURNED class com.acme.Gadget
PROBE_A2 -> RETURNED class com.acme.Gadget
[ERROR] DenyPrecedenceProbeTest.probeA1_acceptPrefix_plusDeny:30 expected: <true> but was: <false>
and the mutation survives the PR's whole test surface:
MUTANT reader.ObjectReaderProviderTest Tests run: 3, Failures: 0, Errors: 0
MUTANT read.ObjectReaderProviderTest Tests run: 5, Failures: 0, Errors: 0
Add a case that denies a loadable class while accepting its package prefix, and asserts rejection — plus the full-name-accept variant. The verified probe pair above is the test verbatim:
ObjectReaderProvider provider = new ObjectReaderProvider();
provider.addAutoTypeAccept(SomeBean.class.getPackage().getName() + ".");
provider.addAutoTypeDeny(SomeBean.class.getName());
assertThrows(JSONException.class, () -> provider.checkAutoType(SomeBean.class.getName(), null, 0));Constraint: the denied class must not itself be an AUTO_TYPE_DENY_FQCN entry or a ClassLoader/DataSource/RowSet subtype — ObjectReaderProvider.java:952 already sets denyPrefixOnly = true and continues the scan for those, so the test would pass via the pre-existing gadget guard at :1024 rather than via the new programmatic deny list. It must also be genuinely loadable, since loadClass has to succeed for the accept branch's early return clazz to be reached.
Acceptance: that assertion goes red if the deny block is relocated below the accept scans in checkAutoType — measured.

[Suggestion] R1-14: this and testDenyNormalisationDollarToDot permanently mutate the JVM-global default provider's deny list, and the cleanup in this file restores something else.
@BeforeEach/@AfterEach carefully save and restore the fastjson2.parser.deny system property but not the provider state, and the API this PR adds has no removeAutoTypeDeny — so com.acme.Gadget and com.acme.Gadget.Inner stay denied on JSONFactory.getDefaultObjectReaderProvider() for the rest of the surefire fork. testSystemPropertyDenySeed in this same file already shows the right pattern.
Witness — the leak turned into a failing test rather than argued:
two arms, one reused surefire fork, -Dsurefire.runOrder=alphabetical
ARM 1 probe class alone in a fresh JVM: Tests run: 1, Failures: 0 <- comparator CAN report "no leak"
ARM 2 ObjectReaderProviderTest, then probe: Tests run: 1, Failures: 1
org.opentest4j.AssertionFailedError: com.acme.Gadget leaked onto the JVM-global default provider
==> Unexpected exception thrown: JSONException: autoType is not support. com.acme.Gadget
grep removeAutoTypeDeny|removeAutoTypeAccept|clearAutoTypeDeny core/src/main/java -> 0 hits
no forkCount/reuseForks in pom.xml or core/pom.xml -> surefire defaults = ONE reused JVM for all 2,136 test classes
Nothing in the repo uses com.acme.* today, so this passes now — the cost lands later, as an order-dependent failure with no visible cause: the first future test that deserializes a type under com.acme, a natural placeholder package name this file has now claimed globally, passes or throws depending on which class ran first, and no cleanup can undo it.
| ObjectReaderProvider provider = JSONFactory.getDefaultObjectReaderProvider(); | |
| ObjectReaderProvider provider = new ObjectReaderProvider(); |
in both tests (the public no-arg constructor is at ObjectReaderProvider.java:719). That also removes the JSONFactory reference that currently breaks the test compile. If global-provider coverage is specifically wanted, use a name no other test could plausibly collide with (e.g. ObjectReaderProviderTest.class.getName() + "$Denied") and say in a comment that it is irreversible.
Acceptance: N/A for product behaviour — the check is that after the fix JSONFactory.getDefaultObjectReaderProvider().checkAutoType("com.acme.Gadget", null, SupportAutoType.mask) no longer throws once this class has run, and that the three assertions still go red when the deny enforcement is removed.

[Suggestion] R1-19: this test pins only the add-side normalization. Normalization is applied at two sites — addAutoTypeDeny (ObjectReaderProvider.java:342) and checkAutoType (:921) — and denying the $-form while checking the .-form is reconciled by the add side alone, so removing the check-side call leaves this test green.
The direction left unguarded is the one the field javadoc at :216-221 names as the smuggling vector: under the mutation, addAutoTypeDeny("com.acme.Gadget.Inner") followed by checkAutoType("com.acme.Gadget$Inner", ...) hashes the binary name against a set holding the canonical name, misses, falls through the empty accept scan to loadClass, and returns instead of throwing — so on a classpath where the class exists, a denied inner type resolved by its binary name is handed back to the caller.
Witness:
mutation at ObjectReaderProvider.java:921, normalizeAcceptName(typeName) -> typeName (one token)
arm proof: normalizeAcceptName refs inside checkAutoType(String,Class<?>,long) 3 -> 0; restored -> 3
INTACT deny("com.acme.Gadget.Inner") check("com.acme.Gadget$Inner") -> DENIED (JSONException)
MUTANT deny("com.acme.Gadget.Inner") check("com.acme.Gadget$Inner") -> ALLOWED (deny MISSED) <- probe FLIPS
MUTANT deny("com.acme.Gadget$Inner") check("com.acme.Gadget.Inner") -> DENIED (unchanged — the tested direction)
MUTANT ObjectReaderProviderTest: Tests run: 3, Failures: 0, Errors: 0 <- STAYS GREEN
RESTORED direction 2 -> DENIED
Add the reverse direction to the same test, on a private provider:
provider.addAutoTypeDeny("com.acme.Gadget.Inner");
assertThrows(JSONException.class,
() -> provider.checkAutoType("com.acme.Gadget$Inner", null, features));Constraint: TypeUtils.normalizeAcceptName rewrites only in one direction — return typeName.indexOf('$') >= 0 ? typeName.replace('$', '.') : typeName; (TypeUtils.java:2859) — so the test must deny the dot form and check the dollar form to exercise the check-site call; denying the dollar form can never do so.
Acceptance: the added assertion goes red when normalizeAcceptName is dropped from ObjectReaderProvider.java:921 (checkAutoType returns null rather than throwing) — measured. The production code is correct on both directions today; only the coverage is illusory, which is why this is a Suggestion and not a Critical.

[Critical] R1-4: this skip guard catches only ClassNotFoundException, but Class.forName on a present-but-unlinkable deny entry throws NoClassDefFoundError — a LinkageError, not an Exception — which escapes and errors the test before either its assertTrue tail or its assertFalse half runs.
This is deterministic on the project's own declared test classpath, not a local quirk: core/pom.xml:275 declares spring-aop as a test dependency but nothing declares aspectjweaver, so the entry org.springframework.aop.aspectj.AspectJExpressionPointcut resolves and then fails to link. core therefore reports Tests run: 7967, Failures: 0, Errors: 2, and CI's clean package fails even after the two compile errors are fixed. Reproduced identically on JDK 8, 17 and 21. The production sweep over the same list gets this right (catch (Throwable ignored) at JDKUtils.java:176); the test is stricter than the code it covers.
Witness:

or at minimum catch (LinkageError | ClassNotFoundException e), to match what the production sweep already does.
Constraint: JDKUtils.java:176 — } catch (Throwable ignored) { — the test should not be stricter than the code it covers. Note the same LinkageError tolerance is needed by the platform-prefix assertion proposed on JDKUtils.java:120, and that on JDK 8 this entry throws UnsupportedClassVersionError (also a LinkageError) rather than NoClassDefFoundError.
Acceptance: testIsAutoTypeDenyClass_ExactFQCN goes green — measured, Tests run: 1, Failures: 0, Errors: 0 with catch (Throwable e) on JDK 8, 17 and 21.

[Suggestion] R1-13: this is the only test for the 80-entry table, and it takes its expectations from the very array under test — so it can never notice a removed, weakened or typo'd entry. Three linked gaps, all measured.
(a) for (String fqcn : AUTO_TYPE_DENY_FQCN) removes its own expectation whenever an entry is removed. (b) The catch (ClassNotFoundException) { continue; } below means the positive assertion only runs for entries whose class is on core's test classpath, so a third of the table is never asserted — including the third-party gadget names the list exists for. (c) The negative half asserts on Object.class / String.class, which are not subtypes of any deny entry, so it cannot distinguish exact-FQCN matching from hierarchy matching — the very property the production javadoc states. And no test anywhere replays the PR's VULN-2/3/4 rows at parse level, even though base really does resolve those names.
Witness:
(a)+(b) MUTATION — 8 named entries deleted (72 of 80 remain), full core suite both arms, same procedure:
INTACT (80 entries) Tests run: 7994, Failures: 0, Errors: 2
MUTANT (72 entries) Tests run: 7994, Failures: 0, Errors: 2 <- identical, same two error lines
all 2,136 per-class result lines diff to exactly ONE line: a System.identityHashCode print in Issue2103
(deleted: java.io.File, java.net.URL, javax.naming.InitialContext, java.lang.ProcessBuilder,
groovy.lang.GroovyShell, ...InvokerTransformer, javax.script.ScriptEngineManager, ...JndiRefForwardingDataSource)
(b) SWEEP over the real population (oracle = Class.forName on core's own declared test classpath):
AUTO_TYPE_DENY_FQCN.length = 80 | resolved & asserted = 54 | CNFE skipped = 25 | OTHER Throwable escapes = 1
-> 26/80 = 32.5% never asserted; 0 of the 8 deleted names appear as a string literal in ANY test file
(c) MUTATION — exact-FQCN String.equals loop replaced by isAssignableFrom over AUTO_TYPE_DENY_CLASSES:
JDKUtilsDenyListTest outcome UNCHANGED while isAutoTypeDenyClass(java.net.Inet4Address) flips false -> true
(d) base really resolves the VULN-2/3/4 names:
{"@type":"java.lang.Thread"} BASE -> OK: Thread[Thread-0,5,main] HEAD -> THROW
{"@type":"java.net.URL",...} BASE reaches the URL reader (read URL error) HEAD -> THROW
Pin the list against a fixed expectation rather than the array it iterates: keep an explicit list of must-deny names in the test (java.lang.Runtime, com.sun.rowset.JdbcRowSetImpl, javax.naming.InitialContext, com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.trax.TemplatesImpl) and assert denial for each, plus a assertEquals(80, AUTO_TYPE_DENY_FQCN.length) / containsAll snapshot so a deleted entry fails even when its class is absent from the test classpath. Add parse-level tests mirroring the PR's own table rows, asserting the message contains autoType is not support. For (c), assert on a real subtype of a deny entry — Class.forName("java.net.Inet4Address") and java.util.concurrent.ForkJoinWorkerThread.class — which is what makes exact-FQCN matching a pinned property.
Constraint: the subtype assertions must use subtypes of an AUTO_TYPE_DENY_FQCN entry, not of ClassLoader / DataSource / RowSet — the pre-existing first branch at JDKUtils.java:592 is hierarchical by design and is unchanged by this diff, so those would fail for an unrelated reason. And keep the documented full-name opt-in in the parse-level assertions: measured, addAutoTypeAccept("java.net.URL") + @type: java.net.URL still reaches the URL reader on head, per the i + 1 < typeNameLength guard at ObjectReaderProvider.java:952.
Acceptance: the rewritten test goes red when any listed entry is removed from AUTO_TYPE_DENY_FQCN (measured: today removing eight of them changes nothing), and red when the string loop is swapped for isAssignableFrom matching. The new parse-level tests are red on 2.0.65 and green on head — exactly the discrimination the current suite lacks.

security: harden autoType @type gadgets against 5 residual vulnerabilities from fastjson 2.x
Summary
This PR closes five
@type-driven gadget classes that remain exploitable in fastjson 2.x when an application opts intoSupportAutoType(and, for VULN-1, alsoSupportClassForName). The default config of fastjson 2.x is materially safer than fastjson 1.2.84 becauseSupportAutoTypeis off by default, but the residual surface when the feature is opted into is larger than fastjson 1.x's curated deny table.The fastjson 1.x line is archived (1.2.84 was the final release); the active development is here in fastjson 2.x, so this PR brings the equivalent hardening to the live codebase.
