SCA: security update for com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-core (GHSA-h46c-h94j-95f3)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 437049

Description

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

- jackson-core contains core low-level incremental ("streaming") parser and generator abstractions used by
Jackson Data Processor. In versions prior to 2.15.0, if a user parses an input file and it has deeply
nested data, Jackson could end up throwing a StackoverflowError if the depth is particularly large.
jackson-core 2.15.0 contains a configurable limit for how deep Jackson will traverse in an input document,
defaulting to an allowable depth of 1000. jackson-core will throw a StreamConstraintsException if the
limit is reached. jackson-databind also benefits from this change because it uses jackson-core to parse
JSON inputs. As a workaround, users should avoid parsing input files from untrusted sources.
(CVE-2025-52999)
