CVE-2019-16943 FasterXML jackson-databind
| Affected software | FasterXML jackson-databind |
|---|---|
| Severity | 9.8 Critical CVSS 3.1 3 scores |
| Fixed in | 2.9.10.1, 2.8.11.5, 2.6.7.3 |
| Weakness | Deserialization of untrusted data (CWE-502) |
| Published | 1 Oct 2019 |
| Updated | 7 Oct 2026 |
Description
A Polymorphic Typing issue was discovered in FasterXML jackson-databind 2.0.0 through 2.9.10. 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.

|---|---|
| Finding | This CVE is not listed in CISA KEV or VulnCheck KEV, CISA Vulnrichment records no active exploitation, no reviewed exploit catalogue carries an entry for it, and no GitHub PoC repository for it has 5 or more stars. Nobody has published exploit code worth tracing, so it is not a candidate for a rule ahead of the ones where somebody has; an upstream fix path does exist, so the remediation half of the candidacy still holds. This is a statement about what has been published, not about whether the defect is reachable or serious. |
