CVE-2018-5968: High severity fasterxml jackson-databind vulnerability

Published Jan 18, 2018
·
Updated

A deserialization flaw was discovered in the jackson-databind that could allow an unauthenticated user to perform code execution by sending the maliciously crafted input to the readValue method of the ObjectMapper. This issue extends the previous flaws CVE-2017-7525 and CVE-2017-17485 by blacklisting more classes that could be used maliciously.

Other sources

A flaw was found in FasterXML jackson-databind through 2.8.11 and 2.9.x through 2.9.3 which allows unauthenticated remote code execution due to an incomplete fix for the CVE-2017-7525 and CVE-2017-17485 deserialization flaws. This is exploitable via two different gadgets that bypass a blacklist.
