 - A flaw was discovered in FasterXML jackson-databind in all versions before 2.9.10 and 2.10.0, where it
 would permit polymorphic deserialization of malicious objects using the xalan JNDI gadget when used in
 conjunction with polymorphic type handling methods such as `enableDefaultTyping()` or when @JsonTypeInfo
