Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in jackson-databind - CVE-2026-54514

Vulnerability identifier: #VU139157

CSH Severity: Medium

CVSS v4: 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]

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-54514

CWE-ID: CWE-918

Exploitation vector: Remote access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

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.
