The exploit uses a frenzied ra-de-serialization/gadget chain that is able to exploit the use of Java serialization / in network packets that are sent to clients by servers. Aside from Dogboy21 and other developers, there is work to give a fixed on that issue by GitHub.

The Mods of EnderCore, AetherCraft mode, LogisticsPipes, Immersive Armors, and ttCore are just a few of the ones affected. The Git-page warns users of not doing this list.
