Summary
A flaw was discovered in FasterXML jackson-databind in all versions before 2.9.10 and 2.10.0, where it would permit polymorphic deserialization of malicious objects using the xalan JNDI gadget when used in conjunction with polymorphic type handling methods such as `enableDefaultTyping()` or when @JsonTypeInfo is using `Id.CLASS` or `Id.MINIMAL_CLASS` or in any other way which ObjectMapper.readValue might instantiate objects from unsafe sources. An attacker could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code.
Risk Assessment
Risk of remote code execution in applications using jackson-databind with vulnerable versions and unsafe deserialization configuration.
Recommendation
Upgrade jackson-databind to version 2.9.10 or 2.10.0 (or later) and avoid unsafe polymorphic deserialization configurations.
Other vulnerabilities in jackson-databind
See all- CVE-2021-20190High
A flaw in jackson-databind before 2.9.10.7 mishandles the interaction between serialization gadgets and typing. The highest threat is to data confidentiality, integrity, and system availability.
- CVE-2020-11620High
FasterXML jackson-databind 2.x before 2.9.10.4 mishandles the interaction between serialization gadgets and typing, related to org.apache.commons.jelly.impl.Embedded (aka commons-jelly). This may allow an attacker to perform dangerous operations during deserialization.
- CVE-2019-14892Critical
A flaw was discovered in jackson-databind in versions before 2.9.10, 2.8.11.5 and 2.6.7.3, which would permit polymorphic deserialization of a malicious object using commons-configuration 1 and 2 JNDI classes. An attacker could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code.
- CVE-2020-9547Critical
FasterXML jackson-databind 2.x before 2.9.10.4 mishandles the interaction between serialization gadgets and typing, related to com.ibatis.sqlmap.engine.transaction.jta.JtaTransactionConfig (aka ibatis-sqlmap).
- CVE-2020-8840Critical
FasterXML jackson-databind 2.0.0 through 2.9.10.2 lacks certain xbean-reflect/JNDI blocking, as demonstrated by org.apache.xbean.propertyeditor.JndiConverter. This may allow remote code execution.
- CVE-2019-20330Critical
FasterXML jackson-databind 2.x before 2.9.10.2 lacks certain net.sf.ehcache blocking. This may allow an attacker to abuse polymorphic deserialization to perform dangerous operations.
- CVE-2019-17531Critical
A Polymorphic Typing issue was discovered in FasterXML jackson-databind 2.0.0 through 2.9.10. When Default Typing is enabled (either globally or for a specific property) for an externally exposed JSON endpoint and the service has the apache-log4j-extra (version 1.2.x) jar in the classpath, and an attacker can provide a JNDI service to access, it is possible to make the service execute a malicious payload.
- CVE-2019-17267Critical
A Polymorphic Typing issue was discovered in FasterXML jackson-databind before 2.9.10. It is related to net.sf.ehcache.hibernate.EhcacheJtaTransactionManagerLookup.
- CVE-2019-16943Critical
A Polymorphic Typing issue was discovered in FasterXML jackson-databind 2.0.0 through 2.9.10. When Default Typing is enabled (either globally or for a specific property) for an externally exposed JSON endpoint and the service has the p6spy (3.8.6) jar in the classpath, an attacker can find an RMI service endpoint to access and make the service execute a malicious payload. This issue exists because of com.p6spy.engine.spy.P6DataSource mishandling.
- CVE-2019-16942Critical
A polymorphic typing issue was discovered in FasterXML jackson-databind 2.0.0 through 2.9.10. When default typing is enabled for an externally exposed JSON endpoint and the commons-dbcp (1.4) jar is in the classpath, an attacker who can find an RMI service endpoint may make the service execute a malicious payload. This exists because of mishandling in org.apache.commons.dbcp.datasources.SharedPoolDataSource and PerUserPoolDataSource.
