SCA: security update for tools.jackson.core:jackson-databind (GHSA-5jmj-h7xm-6q6v)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 443844

Description

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

- jackson-databind contains the general-purpose data-binding functionality and tree-model for Jackson Data
Processor. From 2.8.0 until 2.18.9, 2.21.5, and 3.1.4, in BeanDeserializerBase.createContextual(), per-
property @JsonIgnoreProperties exclusions are applied by _handleByNameInclusion(), producing a contextual
deserializer whose BeanPropertyMap has the ignored properties removed. The subsequent per-property case-
insensitivity block (triggered by @JsonFormat(ACCEPT_CASE_INSENSITIVE_PROPERTIES)) rebuilds from
this._beanProperties (the original, unfiltered map) instead of contextual._beanProperties, then overwrites
the filtered map — restoring every property _handleByNameInclusion had just removed. The ignored property
becomes writable again. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.18.9, 2.21.5, and 3.1.4. (CVE-2026-54515)

Solution

Update the tools.jackson.core:jackson-databind library and its related packages to version 3.1.4 or later.
