Jackson Databind

jackson-databind contains the general-purpose data-binding functionality and tree-model for Jackson Data Processor. From 2.18.0 until 2.18.9, 2.21.5, 2.22.1, 3.1.5, and 3.2.1, UnwrappedPropertyHandler.processUnwrapped() replays buffered JSON for a @JsonUnwrapped property and calls prop.deserializeAndSet() without a prop.visibleInView(ctxt.getActiveView()) guard, allowing a property annotated with both @JsonView and @JsonUnwrapped to be written from attacker JSON under a less-privileged active view. This issue is fixed in versions 2.18.9, 2.21.5, 2.22.1, 3.1.5, and 3.2.1.

Deserialization logic in FasterXML jackson-databind 2.15.0 through 2.18.7, 2.21.3, and 3.1.3 allows unauthenticated remote callers to bypass @JsonIgnore annotations on Java Record types when a PropertyNamingStrategy is configured. The renamed JSON key - e.g., 'internal_role' produced by SnakeCaseStrategy from 'internalRole' - is not registered in the ignore list, so Jackson's constructor-parameter binding accepts the attacker-supplied value despite the developer's explicit exclusion directive. No public exploit tooling has been identified at time of analysis, but the upstream fix PR includes a runnable proof-of-concept test that fully demonstrates the bypass, lowering the bar for independent reproduction.

@JsonView access-control bypass in jackson-databind 2.21.0-2.21.3 and 3.0.0-3.1.3 allows remote attackers to write values into setterless Collection/Map properties that are restricted by a @JsonView annotation, defeating view-based mass-assignment protection during deserialization. The regression was introduced when SetterlessProperty.isMerging() was changed to return true, routing these properties through an unguarded buffering branch in BeanDeserializer._deserializeUsingPropertyBased that lacked the prop.visibleInView(activeView) check applied to creator properties. No public exploit code has been identified and this is not listed in CISA KEV; however, applications relying on @JsonView for security-critical field-level access control - such as role or permission gating - are directly and completely bypassed.

Integrity bypass in jackson-databind 2.21.0-2.21.3 and 3.0.0-3.1.3 allows unauthenticated network attackers to write to private backing fields that application developers intended as read-only. The flaw occurs when a POJO uses @JsonProperty on a getter with @JsonIgnore on the setter - a common read-only-over-the-wire pattern - and MapperFeature.INFER_PROPERTY_MUTATORS is enabled (the default). No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The GHSA advisory characterizes the impact as property tampering and mass assignment; maintainers rate it minor despite a reporter-assessed HIGH severity.

Per-property @JsonIgnoreProperties filtering in jackson-databind is silently bypassed when the same property also carries @JsonFormat(ACCEPT_CASE_INSENSITIVE_PROPERTIES), enabling unauthenticated network attackers (per CVSS AV:N/PR:N) to write to fields the application explicitly excluded from deserialization. The flaw spans versions from 2.8.0 through the 2.18.x, 2.19-2.21.x, and 3.1.x release lines and constitutes a mass-assignment integrity risk wherever ignored fields guard sensitive state such as privilege or role attributes. No public exploit tool or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis; vendor-released patches (2.18.9, 2.21.5, 3.1.4) were published 2026-06-04.

Eager DNS resolution during InetSocketAddress deserialization in jackson-databind (versions 2.0.0 through pre-fix releases across the 2.18, 2.21, and 3.x lines) allows any attacker who can supply untrusted JSON to an affected endpoint to force outbound DNS lookups for attacker-chosen hostnames at readValue() time - before application validation or connect logic can intervene. This DNS-based SSRF (CWE-918) enables internal resolver probing, network topology enumeration, and DNS out-of-band interaction signals against applications that deserialize untrusted JSON into types containing InetSocketAddress fields. No public exploit code and no CISA KEV listing have been identified at time of analysis; EPSS data was not available in the provided intelligence sources.

Allowlist bypass in jackson-databind's BasicPolymorphicTypeValidator (PTV) allows attackers to instantiate non-allowlisted classes by wrapping them in arrays (e.g., EvilType[]), defeating a control intended to block deserialization gadget chains. Affects versions 2.10.0 through 2.18.7, 2.19.0 through 2.21.3, and 3.0.0 through 3.1.3 when applications use allowIfSubTypeIsArray() alongside an explicit concrete-type allowlist. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the upstream fix and full root-cause writeup are public on GitHub.

PolymorphicTypeValidator bypass in jackson-databind versions 2.10.0 through 2.18.7, 2.19.0 through 2.21.3, and 3.0.0 through 3.1.3 allows attackers controlling JSON type identifiers to smuggle denied gadget classes through allow-listed generic containers, leading to arbitrary class instantiation and potential remote code execution. The flaw stems from DatabindContext._resolveAndValidateGeneric() validating only the raw container class name while skipping all nested generic type arguments. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the GHSA advisory includes a proof-of-concept configuration and payload structure.

Uncontrolled resource consumption in jackson-databind 2.10.0 through 2.13.5 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to cause a Denial-of-Service by submitting small (~2kB), deeply nested JSON payloads that trigger a StackOverflowError when a service reads the input via ObjectMapper.readTree() and serializes the resulting JsonNode using JsonNode.toString(). The root cause is recursive serialization in the toString() call path, which was replaced with an iterative IteratorStack-based implementation in version 2.14.0. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and active exploitation has not been confirmed by CISA KEV.
