CVE-2018-12023: High severity fasterxml jackson-databind vulnerability

Published Jan 30, 2019
·
Updated

An issue was discovered in FasterXML jackson-databind prior to 2.7.9.4, 2.8.11.2, and 2.9.6. When Default Typing is enabled (either globally or for a specific property), the service has the Oracle JDBC jar in the classpath, and an attacker can provide an LDAP service to access, it is possible to make the service execute a malicious payload.

Other sources

FasterXML jackson-databind before versions 2.7.9.4, 2.8.11.2, 2.9.6 fails to block polymorphic deserialization of types from Oracle JDBC driver. This could lead to Remote Code Execution.
