SCA: security update for com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind, tools.jackson.core:jackson-databind (GHSA-rcqc-6cw3-h962)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 443853

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,
UnwrappedPropertyHandler.processUnwrappedCreatorProperties() replays buffered JSON into creator parameters
but never consults prop.visibleInView(activeView). The normal property-based creator path gates creator
properties on the active view, but this unwrapped-creator replay path bypasses that check, so a
constructor parameter annotated with both @JsonView(AdminView.class) and @JsonUnwrapped is populated from
attacker JSON even when a more restrictive view is active. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.21.4 and
3.1.4. (CVE-2026-54518)

Solution

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