98th percentile - higher than 98% of all known CVEs

Summary

A Polymorphic Typing issue was discovered in FasterXML jackson-databind 2.x before 2.9.9. When Default Typing is enabled for an externally exposed JSON endpoint, the service has the mysql-connector-java jar (8.0.14 or earlier) in the classpath, and an attacker can host a crafted MySQL server reachable by the victim, an attacker can send a crafted JSON message that allows them to read arbitrary local files on the server. This occurs because of missing com.mysql.cj.jdbc.admin.MiniAdmin validation.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could read arbitrary local files on the server, potentially leading to leakage of sensitive data including credentials and configuration.

Recommendation

Upgrade jackson-databind to version 2.9.9 or later and consider disabling Default Typing for externally exposed endpoints.
