Description

- jackson-databind contains the general-purpose data-binding functionality and tree-model for Jackson Data
Processor. From 2.13.0 until 2.14.0, a potential Denial-of-Service exists when attacker sends deeply
nested JSON if (and only if) the service reads deeply nested (1000s of levels) JSON as JsonNode
(ObjectMapper.readTree()) and writes out same (or modifided) node using JsonNode.toString(). This can
consume significant amount of resources with concurrent relatively small requests (1000 nested arrays is
2kB). This vulnerability is fixed in 2.14.0. (CVE-2026-50193)
