high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 422929

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - A Polymorphic Typing issue was discovered in FasterXML jackson-databind 2.x before 2.9.9. When Default
 Typing is enabled (either globally or for a specific property) for an externally exposed JSON endpoint,
 the service has the mysql-connector-java jar (8.0.14 or earlier) in the classpath, and an attacker can
 host a crafted MySQL server reachable by the victim, an attacker can send a crafted JSON message that
 allows them to read arbitrary local files on the server. This occurs because of missing
 com.mysql.cj.jdbc.admin.MiniAdmin validation. (CVE-2019-12086)
