SCA: security update for com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind, tools.jackson.core:jackson-databind (GHSA-5hh8-q8hv-fr38)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 443851

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 2.21.0 until 2.21.4 and 3.1.4, in BeanDeserializer._deserializeUsingPropertyBased, the
active-view (@JsonView) filter was applied only to creator properties; the regular property-buffering
branch performed no prop.visibleInView(activeView) check. A change making SetterlessProperty.isMerging()
return true routed setterless Collection/Map properties through this unguarded path, so a setterless
collection annotated with a restricted @JsonView is populated from attacker JSON even when the active view
excludes it. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.21.4 and 3.1.4. (CVE-2026-54517)

Solution

Update the com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind library and its related packages to version 2.21.4 or later.
