Critical severity GitHub Reviewed Published Aug 1, 2019 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Sep 13, 2023

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

Affected versions

Description

SubTypeValidator.java in FasterXML jackson-databind before 2.9.9.2, 2.8.11.4, and 2.7.9.6 mishandles default typing when ehcache is used (because of net.sf.ehcache.transaction.manager.DefaultTransactionManagerLookup), leading to remote code execution.
