medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 445034

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 2.18.0 until 2.18.9, 2.21.5, 2.22.1, 3.1.5, and 3.2.1,
UnwrappedPropertyHandler.processUnwrapped() replays buffered JSON for a @JsonUnwrapped property and calls
prop.deserializeAndSet() without a prop.visibleInView(ctxt.getActiveView()) guard, allowing a property
annotated with both @JsonView and @JsonUnwrapped to be written from attacker JSON under a less-privileged
active view. This issue is fixed in versions 2.18.9, 2.21.5, 2.22.1, 3.1.5, and 3.2.1. (CVE-2026-59889)

Solution

Update the com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind library and its related packages to version 2.18.9 or later.
