Description
This security bulletin contains information about 10 vulnerabilities.
1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-68497)
CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion
CVSSv4: 8.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to uncontrolled resource consumption in CoreXMLDeserializers when deserializing JSON string values into javax.xml.datatype.Duration or javax.xml.datatype.XMLGregorianCalendar fields. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to cause a denial of service.
The issue is reachable with the default mapper configuration and does not require polymorphic typing or special configuration.
2) Deserialization of Untrusted Data (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-83557)
CWE-ID: CWE-502 - Deserialization of Untrusted Data
CVSSv4: 6.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to instantiate an unintended object and disclose, modify, or affect data handling.
The vulnerability exists due to deserialization of untrusted data in DefaultBaseTypeLimitingValidator when processing polymorphic type identifiers for @JsonTypeInfo-annotated Comparable-typed values without a custom PolymorphicTypeValidator. A remote attacker can supply a crafted type identifier to instantiate an attacker-chosen Comparable implementation to disclose, modify, or affect data handling.
Only the default, unconfigured validator path reached through bare @JsonTypeInfo usage is affected; configurations using activateDefaultTyping() with an explicit restrictive PolymorphicTypeValidator are not affected.
3) Unsafe reflection (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-19032)
CWE-ID: CWE-470 - Use of Externally-Controlled Input to Select Classes or Code ('Unsafe Reflection')
CVSSv4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to use of externally controlled input to select classes or code in JDKFromStringDeserializer.NioPathHelper.deserialize when deserializing untrusted JSON into a java.nio.file.Path field. A remote attacker can supply a specially crafted URI scheme to drive FileSystemProvider resolution and cause a denial of service.
Exploitation occurs during readValue, and meaningful side effects beyond the reported availability impact depend on the presence of a side-effecting third-party FileSystemProvider on the classpath.
4) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-77310)
CWE-ID: CWE-918 - Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
CVSSv4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to disclose sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to server-side request forgery (SSRF) in InetAddress deserialization in FromStringDeserializer.Std._deserialize() when parsing attacker-controlled input into an InetAddress-typed target. A remote attacker can supply a crafted hostname for deserialization to disclose sensitive information.
The issue causes eager forward DNS resolution during deserialization, enabling DNS-based out-of-band interaction and blind enumeration of whether internal hostnames resolve before application-level validation.
CWE-ID: CWE-915 - Improperly Controlled Modification of Dynamically-Determined Object Attributes
CVSSv4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to modify dynamically determined object attributes.
The vulnerability exists due to improper control of dynamically determined object attributes in jackson-databind record deserialization when applying a PropertyNamingStrategy to `@JsonIgnore`-annotated Record properties. A remote attacker can supply a specially crafted JSON key to modify dynamically determined object attributes.
This issue affects Java Records during deserialization when a naming strategy is used and `@JsonIgnore` is relied on to prevent a component from being set from input.
6) Incorrect authorization (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-59889)
CWE-ID: CWE-863 - Incorrect Authorization
CVSSv4: 7.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote user to escalate privileges.
The vulnerability exists due to improper access control in UnwrappedPropertyHandler.processUnwrapped() when deserializing @JsonUnwrapped container properties under a less-privileged active view. A remote user can supply crafted JSON values for a property annotated with both @JsonView and @JsonUnwrapped to escalate privileges.
This affects the write-side authorization behavior of @JsonView during deserialization, including merge and builder-based deserialization paths.
7) Deserialization of Untrusted Data (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-54512)
CWE-ID: CWE-502 - Deserialization of Untrusted Data
CVSSv4: 9.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to instantiate arbitrary classes.
The vulnerability exists due to deserialization of untrusted data in DatabindContext._resolveAndValidateGeneric() and PolymorphicTypeValidator handling when processing polymorphic type identifiers with generic parameters during deserialization. A remote attacker can supply a specially crafted type identifier and JSON data to instantiate arbitrary classes.
Only applications that accept untrusted JSON and have polymorphic typing enabled while relying on a configured PolymorphicTypeValidator allow-list are affected.
8) Incomplete List of Disallowed Inputs (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-54513)
CWE-ID: CWE-184 - Incomplete List of Disallowed Inputs
CVSSv4: 9.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to instantiate non-allowlisted types.
The vulnerability exists due to incomplete list of disallowed inputs in BasicPolymorphicTypeValidator.Builder.allowIfSubTypeIsArray() when deserializing attacker-controlled JSON containing array subtypes. A remote attacker can supply a crafted array wrapper to instantiate non-allowlisted types.
The issue occurs because array types are allowlisted based only on whether the class is an array, without validating the array component type against the configured allowlist, and no further validator check occurs for elements when per-element type IDs are absent.
9) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-54514)
CWE-ID: CWE-918 - Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
CVSSv4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause outbound DNS requests and disclose limited network information.
The vulnerability exists due to server-side request forgery in JDKFromStringDeserializer when deserializing untrusted JSON into a type containing an InetSocketAddress field. A remote attacker can supply a crafted hostname value to cause outbound DNS requests and disclose limited network information.
The DNS lookup occurs during readValue before application-level validation or explicit connection logic.
CWE-ID: CWE-915 - Improperly Controlled Modification of Dynamically-Determined Object Attributes
CVSSv4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to modify otherwise ignored object attributes.
The vulnerability exists due to improper control of dynamically determined object attributes in BeanDeserializerBase.createContextual() when processing case-insensitive deserialization with per-property @JsonIgnoreProperties exclusions. A remote attacker can send crafted JSON input to modify otherwise ignored object attributes.
Only applications that enable case-insensitive property matching and rely on per-property @JsonIgnoreProperties to keep a field unwritable are vulnerable.
