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 2.0.0 through 2.9.10. When Default
 Typing is enabled (either globally or for a specific property) for an externally exposed JSON endpoint and
 the service has the p6spy (3.8.6) jar in the classpath, and an attacker can find an RMI service endpoint
 to access, it is possible to make the service execute a malicious payload. This issue exists because of
 com.p6spy.engine.spy.P6DataSource mishandling. (CVE-2019-16943)
