    <description>
        <p>Deserialization of untrusted data can occur in the R statistical programming language, enabling a maliciously crafted RDS (R Data Serialization) formatted file or R package to run arbitrary code on an end user’s system when interacted with.</p>
    </description>
    <impact type="high">
        <p>Arbitrary code may be run when deserializing untrusted data.</p>
    </impact>
    <workaround>
        <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
    </workaround>
    <resolution>
