Description
A flaw was found in jackson-databind. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass security view restrictions by sending specially crafted JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) data. The UnwrappedPropertyHandler component, which processes unwrapped properties, incorrectly populates constructor parameters that should be hidden by an active security view. This can lead to unauthorized information disclosure or data manipulation.
Statement
This Moderate vulnerability in jackson-databind allows a remote attacker to bypass security view restrictions. When processing unwrapped creator properties, the component fails to properly enforce @JsonView annotations, enabling sensitive constructor parameters to be populated from untrusted JSON data. This could lead to unauthorized information disclosure or data manipulation in applications utilizing specific jackson-databind configurations.
