HighCVSS 8.1
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Exploitation Probability (EPSS)

Very high risk
7.21%

94th percentile - higher than 94% of all known CVEs

Summary

FasterXML jackson-databind through 2.8.11 and 2.9.x through 2.9.3 allows unauthenticated remote code execution because of an incomplete fix for the CVE-2017-7525 and CVE-2017-17485 deserialization flaws. This is exploitable via two different gadgets that bypass a blacklist.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can remotely execute arbitrary code on the server without authentication, leading to full system compromise.

Recommendation

Update jackson-databind to a version later than 2.9.3 (preferably the latest stable). Avoid deserializing untrusted data and consider enabling default typing blocking.
