Executive Summary

This vulnerability involves FasterXML Jackson 1.x library versions, specifically jackson-mapper-asl 1.8.3 through 1.9.13. Attackers can exploit it by sending deeply nested JSON data to an application using ObjectMapper.readValue for deserialization. This causes a denial of service by overwhelming system resources.

Impact Analysis

If you use affected Jackson versions in your application, an attacker could send maliciously crafted JSON data to crash your service. This leads to downtime, disrupted services, and potential loss of availability for your application and its users.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade Jackson libraries to versions that address this issue. Avoid deserializing untrusted JSON input. Use input validation and limit nesting depth in JSON parsing.
