1) Input validation error

EUVDB-ID: #VU21750

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 4.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-17531

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected software.

The vulnerability exists due to a Polymorphic Typing in jackson-databind when processing JSON requests. A remote attacker can send specially crafted JSON data to JNDI service and execute a malicious payload.
