QID 982255

QID 982255: Java (maven) Security Update for com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind (GHSA-mx7p-6679-8g3q)

A Polymorphic Typing issue was discovered in FasterXML jackson-databind 2.0.0 through 2.9.10. When Default Typing is enabled (either globally or for a specific property) for an externally exposed JSON endpoint and the service has the commons-dbcp (1.4) jar in the classpath, and an attacker can find an RMI service endpoint to access, it is possible to make the service execute a malicious payload. This issue exists because of org.apache.commons.dbcp.datasources.SharedPoolDataSource and org.apache.commons.dbcp.datasources.PerUserPoolDataSource mishandling.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may affect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the targeted user.
