XXE attack in jackson-databind - CVE-2018-14720

Vulnerability identifier: #VU17777

CSH Severity: Low

CVSS v4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-14720

CWE-ID: CWE-611

Exploitation vector: Remote access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform XXE attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to fail to block unspecified Java Development Kit (JDK) classes from polymorphic deserialization. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request that submits malicious input, conduct an XXE attack to access sensitive information, bypass security restrictions, or cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on the targeted system.
