CVE-2019-16943: Infoleak

First published: Fri Sep 27 2019(Updated: )

A Polymorphic Typing issue was discovered in FasterXML jackson-databind 2.0.0 prior to 2.9.10.1, 2.8.11.5, and 2.6.7.3. When Default Typing is enabled (either globally or for a specific property) for an externally exposed JSON endpoint and the service has the p6spy (3.8.6) jar in the classpath, and an attacker can find an RMI service endpoint to access, it is possible to make the service execute a malicious payload. This issue exists because of com.p6spy.engine.spy.P6DataSource mishandling.

Remedy

The following conditions are needed for an exploit, we recommend avoiding all if possible * Deserialization from sources you do not control * `enableDefaultTyping()` * `@JsonTypeInfo using `id.CLASS` or `id.MINIMAL_CLASS`

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the severity of CVE-2019-16943?

    CVE-2019-16943 is ranked as a medium severity vulnerability due to the potential for remote code execution when default typing is enabled.

  • How do I fix CVE-2019-16943?

    To fix CVE-2019-16943, you should upgrade to jackson-databind version 2.9.10.1 or newer, or apply the specific patches for affected versions.

  • What types of systems are affected by CVE-2019-16943?

    CVE-2019-16943 affects systems using FasterXML jackson-databind versions prior to 2.9.10.1, particularly with default typing enabled.

  • How can I detect if my software is vulnerable to CVE-2019-16943?

    You can check the version of jackson-databind in your application; any version below 2.9.10.1 is vulnerable if default typing is enabled.

  • What are the consequences of not addressing CVE-2019-16943?

    Failing to address CVE-2019-16943 may expose systems to remote code execution attacks, allowing attackers to execute malicious code.
