FasterXML jackson-databind allows unauthenticated remote code execution

Critical severity GitHub Reviewed Published Oct 16, 2018 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Mar 15, 2024

Package

maven com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind (Maven)

Affected versions

>= 2.9.0, < 2.9.5
>= 2.8.0, <= 2.8.11.0
>= 2.7.0, < 2.7.9.3
< 2.6.7.5

Patched versions

2.7.9.3
2.6.7.5

Description

FasterXML jackson-databind before before 2.6.7.5, 2.7.x before 2.7.9.3, 2.8.x before 2.8.11.1, and 2.9.x before 2.9.5 allows unauthenticated remote code execution because of an incomplete fix for the CVE-2017-7525 deserialization flaw. This is exploitable by sending maliciously crafted JSON input to the readValue method of the ObjectMapper, bypassing a blacklist that is ineffective if the c3p0 libraries are available in the classpath.
