Vulnerability details

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.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires that Default Typing is enabled (either globally or for a specific property) for an externally exposed JSON endpoint and the service has the apache-log4j-extra (version 1.2.x) jar in the classpath.
