QID 982257

QID 982257: Java (maven) Security Update for com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind (GHSA-5ww9-j83m-q7qx)

A Polymorphic Typing issue was discovered in FasterXML jackson-databind 2.x before 2.9.9. When Default Typing is enabled (either globally or for a specific property) for an externally exposed JSON endpoint, the service has the mysql-connector-java jar (8.0.14 or earlier) in the classpath, and an attacker can host a crafted MySQL server reachable by the victim, an attacker can send a crafted JSON message that allows them to read arbitrary local files on the server. This occurs because of missing com.mysql.cj.jdbc.admin.MiniAdmin validation.

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