The product contains a serializable, storable data element such as a field or member, but the data element contains member elements that are not serializable.
View on MITREThis issue can prevent the product from running reliably. If the relevant code is reachable by an attacker, then this reliability problem might introduce a vulnerability. As examples, the serializable nature of a data element comes from a serializable SerializableAttribute attribute in .NET and the inheritance from the java.io.Serializable interface in Java.

CWE-1070: Serializable Data Element Containing non-Serializable Item Elements is a Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) entry maintained by MITRE. The product contains a serializable, storable data element such as a field or member, but the data element contains member elements that are not serializable. This issue can prevent the product from running reliably. If the relevant code is reachable by an attacker, then this reliability problem might introduce a vulnerability. As examples, the serializable nature of a data element comes from a serializable SerializableAttribute attribute in .NET and the inheritance from the java.io.Serializable interface in Java.
If exploited, CWE-1070 (Serializable Data Element Containing non-Serializable Item Elements) it can compromise Other, leading to outcomes such as Reduce Reliability.
A CWE (Common Weakness Enumeration) like CWE-1070 describes a category of software weakness — the underlying flaw type. A CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) identifies a specific, real-world vulnerability in a particular product. In short, a CWE is the kind of mistake, and a CVE is an instance of that mistake being found in software.
