GHSA-rfx6-vp9g-rh7v
Summary jackson-databind vulnerable to remote code execution due to incorrect deserialization and blocklist bypass FasterXML jackson-databind allows unauthenticated remote code execution. This is exploitable by sending maliciously crafted JSON input to the `readValue` method of the `ObjectMapper`, bypassing a denylist that is ineffective if the Spring libraries are available in the classpath.
