Code execution via unrestricted deserialization class import
Published May 1, 2026 · Updated May 1, 2026
Unsafe deserialization in Zurich Instruments LabOne Q allows attackers to execute arbitrary code by loading a crafted experiment file. The import_cls mechanism accepts an arbitrary fully qualified class name from serialized data, imports that class without a module allowlist, and instantiates it with attacker-controlled arguments. Affected releases start at 2.41.0 and end before 26.1.2, plus 26.4.0b1 through 26.4.0b5; a user must deserialize the file, and code runs with that user's privileges.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=2.41.0 <26.1.2
- Affected versionversion=26.4.0b1 <=26.4.0b5
