AI-suggested

Upgrade jackson-databind to version 2.18.8, 2.21.4, or 3.1.4 or later where this vulnerability is fixed. No other mitigations are indicated by the vendor advisory. Applying the official fix fully addresses the issue.

Description

A vulnerability in jackson-databind affects versions from 2.10.0 up to but not including 2.18.8, 2.21.4, and 3.1.4. The issue involves the BasicPolymorphicTypeValidator.Builder.allowIfSubTypeIsArray() method, which incorrectly allows any array type based solely on the array nature without validating the component type against the allowlist. This allows instantiation of non-allowlisted component types during deserialization, bypassing intended security checks. The vulnerability is fixed in versions 2.18.8, 2.21.4, and 3.1.4.
