JSON vs. Pickle security

Viewed 4364

I recently came across the security problems of the Python pickle and cPickle modules. Obviously, there are no real security measures implemented in pickle unless you overwrite the find_class method as a basic modification to get a bit more security. But I often heard that JSON is more secure.

Can anyone elaborate a bit on this?`Why is JSON more secure than pickle?

Thanks a lot! Mark
