CVE-2026-16723 is a critical remote code execution vulnerability in Alibaba Fastjson 1.x affecting versions 1.2.68 through 1.2.83. The flaw is exploitable under the library’s default configuration and does not require AutoType to be enabled or any third-party gadget class on the application classpath. Exploitation abuses Fastjson’s polymorphic deserialization and internal type-resolution logic through attacker-controlled @type values. In affected Spring Boot executable fat-JAR deployments, nested JAR URL handling and trust decisions involving @JSONType can be leveraged to bypass expected type restrictions and reach code execution. The issue has been verified across Spring Boot 2.x, 3.x, and 4.x environments and on JDK 8, 11, 17, and 21.
