medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 445073

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 2.15.0 until 2.18.8, 2.21.4, and 3.1.4, Java Records using a PropertyNamingStrategy can
bypass @JsonIgnore because POJOPropertiesCollector._removeUnwantedIgnorals() records an ignored component
under its original implicit name before _renameUsing() applies the naming strategy, allowing the renamed
JSON key to be assigned to the Record constructor parameter. This issue is fixed in versions 2.18.8,
2.21.4, and 3.1.4. (CVE-2026-59888)

Solution

Update the com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind library and its related packages to version 2.18.8 or later.
