Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Modular Max Serve versions before 25.6 (PyPI package modular, fixed in 25.6.0) contain an unsafe deserialization flaw that only affects deployments using the "--experimental-enable-kvcache-agent" option. The source gives few details on how the attack is delivered. A successful attacker could execute arbitrary code. Upgrade the modular package to 25.6.0 or later; if you cannot upgrade, do not enable the "--experimental-enable-kvcache-agent" option.
