Summary For Java Records, POJOPropertiesCollector.removeUnwantedIgnorals() records a @JsonIgnore-annotated component under its original implicit name before renameUsing() applies the PropertyNamingStrategy. After the rename, ignoredPropertyNames still holds only the pre-rename name, so ignorableProps is built from the stale key. The renamed JSON key passes IgnorePropertiesUtil.shouldIgnore() and is assigned to the Record's constructor parameter, defeating the @JsonIgnore.

Impact A Record using a naming strategy that relies on @JsonIgnore to keep an internal/privileged component out of deserialization can have that component set from the wire via its renamed key (e.g. a role/flag controlled by an untrusted client).

Summary UnwrappedPropertyHandler.processUnwrapped() replays the buffered JSON for a @JsonUnwrapped property by iterating its properties and calling prop.deserializeAndSet() with no prop.visibleInView(ctxt.getActiveView()) guard — the exact guard processUnwrappedCreatorProperties() received in the #5971 / GHSA-rcqc-6cw3-h962 fix, and the guard BeanDeserializer.deserializeWithUnwrapped applies to directly-matched properties. As a result, a property annotated with both @JsonView(PrivilegedView.class) and @JsonUnwrapped is written from attacker JSON even when deserializing under a more-restrictive active view.

Correction to the original framing (runtime-verified): the gap is NOT a per-field inner @JsonView (the unwrapped sub-object's own BeanDeserializer gates inner fields correctly). The unchecked gate is the view of the unwrapped CONTAINER property.

Intent proof (runtime, 2.x HEAD 21dd70dd and 3.x HEAD 7a5939d6) An @JsonView(AdminView) property that is NOT @JsonUnwrapped → null under PublicView (correctly gated). The identical property WITH @JsonUnwrapped → fully populated (bypass). The fix the creator path already received, not applied to the regular-property method.

Impact — write-side mass-assignment / privilege escalation @JsonView is commonly used as a write-side authorization guard: a public endpoint binds the body under readerWithView(PublicView.class) and groups privileged state in a nested object whose container property is @JsonView(AdminView). When that property is @JsonUnwrapped, an untrusted caller mass-assigns it. PoC: a self-service registration where AccountFlags{role,approved,creditBalance} is @JsonView(AdminView) @JsonUnwrapped; attacker JSON {role:ADMIN,approved:true,creditBalance:1000000} under PublicView binds all three → approved admin with arbitrary balance. The failing gate is a WRITE gate, hence integrity-high (C:N/I:H/A:N); no worse than the C:L/I:L parent and arguably higher as @JsonView-as-write-guard is the exact use case #5971/#5969 defended.

Affected - com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind 2.x: confirmed bypass at 21dd70dd (== released 2.21.4 / 2.22.0 line; includes the #5973 backport). DEFAULTVIEWINCLUSION default=true. - tools.jackson.core:jackson-databind 3.x: confirmed bypass at HEAD 7a5939d6 (latest 3.x). DEFAULTVIEWINCLUSION default=false → the stock-config repro is the common shape where privileged inner fields are individually @JsonView(PublicView) and the developer relies on the container @JsonView(AdminView); the 3.x PoC mass-assigns role/approved/creditBalance under PublicView. (The other simultaneous report's PoC was reportedly fixed on 3.x; this distinct container-property path is not.)

Additive variants (runtime-confirmed both branches; all closed by the same one-line guard) - nested @JsonUnwrapped (unwrapped-in-unwrapped) — recursive bypass. - merge / readerWithView(...).withValueToUpdate(...) (PATCH/partial-update) — bypass; non-unwrapped merge control gates correctly. - builder-based deserializer (@JsonDeserialize(builder=...)) — BuilderBasedDeserializer routes through the same processUnwrapped. - Honest non-findings: read-side serialization correctly honors views (no leak); @JsonAnySetter+view and @JsonTypeInfo+@JsonUnwrapped are separate/unsupported behaviors, not this bug.

Fix Add prop.visibleInView(ctxt.getActiveView()) (when MapperFeature.DEFAULTVIEWINCLUSION/active-view applies) to the processUnwrapped() property loop, mirroring processUnwrappedCreatorProperties(). One change closes the impact PoC + all three variants across BeanDeserializer and BuilderBasedDeserializer. Full runnable PoCs (2.x + 3.x) + variant harnesses available on request.

jackson-databind contains the general-purpose data-binding functionality and tree-model for Jackson Data Processor. Prior to versions 2.18.9, 2.21.5, 2.22.1, 3.1.5, and 3.2.1 on their respective release lines, the java.net.InetAddress branch of FromStringDeserializer.Std.deserialize() calls InetAddress.getByName() on attacker-controlled input, causing eager DNS resolution during deserialization and enabling DNS-based server-side request forgery and internal-host enumeration. This issue is fixed in versions 2.18.9, 2.21.5, 2.22.1, 3.1.5, and 3.2.1.
