Fastjson has a remote code execution vulnerability; the restriction of the autotype switch can be bypassed, and a chained deserialization attacker can craft a deserialization exploit chain, ultimately achieving remote command execution.

Later webmasters dug deeper and found the crawler belongs to AspiegelBot, an Irish subsidiary under Huawei Search; many small sites were directly scraped to a standstill.
