### Impact Due to some data types not being natively representable for the available storage options, shared_preferences_android serializes and deserializes special string prefixes to store these unrepresentable data types. This allows arbitrary classes to be deserialized leading to arbitrary code execution. As a result, Files containing the preferences can be overwritten with a malicious one with a deserialization payload that triggers as soon as the data is loaded from the disk. ### Patches 2.3.4 ### Workarounds Update to the latest version of shared_preferences_android that contains the changes to address this vulnerability. ### References TBD ### For more information See [our community page](https://dart.dev/community) to find ways to contact the team. ### Thanks Thank you so much to Oskar Zeino-Mahmalat from sonarsource for finding and reporting this issue!
